Description

Acetylene Gas Cylinder Description

1. Cylinder Material:

Made of high-strength seamless steel

Designed to withstand high pressure

2. Gas Properties:

Acetylene (C₂H₂) is a highly flammable and colorless gas

Used primarily for welding, cutting, and brazing

Requires special porous mass inside the cylinder to prevent decomposition

3. Cylinder Sizes & Capacities:

Common sizes: 10L, 40L, 50L, and custom sizes available

Pressure: Typically stored at 250 psi (17 bar) when dissolved in acetone

4. Safety Features:

Filled with a porous mass and acetone to stabilize the gas

Equipped with a fusible plug for pressure relief in case of overheating

Should always be stored upright to prevent liquid acetone from escaping

5. Applications:

Oxy-acetylene welding and cutting

Flame heating and metal processing

Chemical synthesis in laboratories

6. Handling & Storage:

Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Store in well-ventilated areas

Use only approved regulators and fittings
