Acetylene DA
Acetylene is a highly flammable colourless gas of distinct odour. The high solubility of acetylene in acetone (300:1 by volume at 1 100 kPa) enables it to be supplied dissolved in acetone. Acetylene cylinders are filled with porous material which carries the acetone.
APPLICATIONS: Acetylene is used as a fuel gas for oxy-acetylene welding, cutting, general localised heating, flame hardening, flame cleaning to remove rust from steel, spalling concrete, and other processes requiring a high temperature flame. Steel, stainless steel, aluminium and wrought iron are recommended for use with acetylene.
FEATURES & BENEFITS: Acetylene is the best and most versatile fuel gas for welding, straightening, bending, forming, hardening, cutting, or tempering. It is the hottest flame temperature when compared to MAPP gas, propylene and propane and natural gas. Specially purified instrument grade acetylene which has impurities removed is used in atomic absorption, analytical instrumentation, and navigational beacons. A low flame moisture content makes it a good choice for many critical heating processes. It also requires the least amount of oxygen to ensure complete combustion.

About industrial gases- Basics
- Industrial gases, vaporous at room temperature, are specially produced to be used for industrial purposes.
- Even though they can be stored in liquid or solid forms, like dry ice, they are most commonly used in their gaseous form.
- An industrial gas can be an element, molecular compound, or even mixtures. Industrial gases usually tend to have low molecular weight and distinct chemical properties, which makes them highly beneficial and useful for a vast range of industries.
Stay Safe While Working with Industrial Gases
- Safety should be your number one priority while working with industrial gases as they may be highly flammable.
- Moreover, they are usually compressed and filled in gas cylinders, which can be dangerous if not handled with care.
safety tips while working with gas cylinders.
- Always be aware of what you are handling.
- Ensure that your cylinders are in a safe condition without any leak or corrosions.
- Make sure that gas cylinders are stored correctly and used in a well-ventilated area.
- Use best transporting and handling practices.
- Always wear the right safety gear
