Acetylene Gas
Acetylene gas is a highly flammable gaseous hydrocarbon with the formula C2H2. It is a colorless and tasteless gas with a garlic-like odor. Acetylene gas is a very unstable compound and decomposes with ignition within a wide range of pressures and temperatures, for this reason, acetylene is shipped as a stabilized solution under pressure and dissolved in acetone.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Acetylene gas is a highly flammable gaseous hydrocarbon with the formula C2H2. It is a colorless and tasteless gas with a garlic-like odor. Acetylene gas is a very unstable compound and decomposes with ignition within a wide range of pressures and temperatures, for this reason, acetylene is shipped as a stabilized solution under pressure and dissolved in acetone.
Acetylene gas is one of the fuel gases used in oxy-fuel gas welding, which is any welding procedure that combines a fuel gas with oxygen to produce a flame. The heat and temperature produced by an acetylene flame depend upon the amount of oxygen used to burn it. Air-acetylene gas produces a flame temperature of around 4000° F (2200° C). When acetylene gas is burned in pure oxygen, the flame temperature may be as high as 5730° F (3166° C).
