How hot does rocket fuel burn?

6,300 degrees fahrenheit which is the same temperature as the oxy-acetylene cutting torch flame and in fact the oxy-acetylene cutting torch flame looks exactly the same as the rocket engine flame. Vincent Majerowicz


Does flame cutting use a neutral flame or slightly oxidizing flame?

Assuming that you are using the Oxygen-Acetylene cutting process; both, depending at what stage/phase of the cutting process you are in. What we encounter is a gas flow differential problem. With the cutting torch flame properly adjusted (the acetylene valve opened to the point where the un-mixed acetylene flame is burning without producing any smoke but still in contact with the cutting tip of the torch, the oxygen valve is slowly opened until you have adjusted the flame to a neutral quality or setting. Press the cutting oxygen lever; typically the flame will become slightly carburizing ("feathers" will appear at the ends of the pre-heat flames) this phenomonom occurs because of the drop in line pressure due to the high flow of oxygen through the cutting tube or orifice. With the oxygen lever remaining depressed, readjust the flame to a neutral setting. This will cause the flame to become slightly oxidizing when the cutting lever is released; since an oxidizing flame burns slightly hotter than a neutral flame the pre-heat of the metal that is being cut is faster. When the metal is at the proper pre-heat or kindling temperature (1600 F for pure iron - various steel alloys will be slightly different; beginning to turn bright red is a good indicator) depress the cutting oxygen lever, the flame will revert to "neutral" and the cut can then begin.

How much is the oxyacetylene flame temperature?

3315.555556ºC It is my understanding that an acetylene torch produces a flame temperature of approx. 6000 degrees Fahrenheit.


Which gas burns the hottest when cutting torch is used?

oxygen supports the combustion of the gas that one uses in the welding/cutting torch. Acetylene combined with Oxygen produces the hottest flame.


Explain oxy- acetylene welding process?

Oxygen and acetylene tanks feed into your torch. When opened, the gases will mix in a chamber in the torch, then flow out of the torch tip. Using a spark lighter, they will ignite causing a flame. This flame can be adjusted to a neutral flame by moving the knobs on the tank regulators.


Can anyone give you info on an Oxy-gasoline cutting system?

Do you mean oxyacetylene cutting? You need a cylinder of oxygen, a cylinder of Acetylene, appropriate regulators and flashback arrestors. Two gas hoses and a cutting torch. The torch mixes the two gasses to burn with a high intensity flame. A trigger on the torch, increases the oxygen flow in the centre of the flame, which cuts and blows the molten metal away.


Where does the Olympic games torch stay when the Olympics are not on?

The flame is put out at the end of the games and a new torch is designed for every game. Several torches are made and the flame is passed not the torch.


What is acetylene welding?

Acetylene welding is a process in which like metals are joined by heating them to their melting temperature with an oxy-acetylene flame produced by a torch.


What is deactivated gun?

It is a firearm that cannot be fired or used to discharge ammunition. Parts are removed and sealed by welding, or by flame cutting with a torch. Once deactivated, it is no longer legally a gun.

What is a turbo tourch used for?

A turbo torch is is a welding tool used in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) field. The torch can use propane or oxy-acetylene gas to provide a high temperature flame.


What is oxyfuel cutting process?

Oxyfuel cutting is a combustion process using oxygen/fuel gas flame. The heating flame brings the material up to its ignition temperature. Then a jet of Oxygen at least 99,5 % pure is blown onto the heated spot. The Oxygen jet oxidizes the metal. The torch is moved and a narrow cutting kerf is created, removing the slag from the kerf. The quality of the cut depends on the surface condition of the material, cut-velocity and thickness. All low alloy steel with a material thickness up to several decimeters can be cut with this process. Despite the increasing significance of the other cutting processes such as plasma and laser cutting, oxyfuel flame cutting is still a very economical process.
