yes it can but apparently isn't ideal. we run acetylene regs on our propane torch.

Why does an oxy acetylene torch work better than a single tank acetylene torch?
acetylene torches can burnhotter than propane because the fuel is of a higher octane propane can be used for some cutting outfits. its more cost friendly because propane burns slower. in the case of a scrap job where you are trying to profit propane is the best for cutting both propane and acetylene are used with oxygen to accelerate the temperatures at which they burn allowing either to cut threw metal. there are other alternatives such as mapp gas which is a type of purified propizzle. bza10b@aol.com PYRO-TECH engineer
What gas is used in cylinders that blow out fire?
Small hand torches are typically propane. Large professional welding torches use a mixture of oxygen and acetylene.
How long will 30000 btu heater run on a 23 gallon tank?
The MH80CV, part of the Mr. Heater Contractor Series, is a 30,000-80,000 BTU Propane Convection heater. The MH80CV provides reliable heat for areas up to 1900 sq. feet. It will operate for up to 14 hours on a 20-lb propane tank. The MH80CV features a standing pilot, piezo push-button ignition, and 'insta-lock' chamber for easy assembly. The MH80CV comes ready to use with the included hose and regulator. It operates on a 20-lb or larger propane tank (not included).There are a couple of other factors that may effect the time a 20 pound cylinder will last on a heater. Propane is stored in liquid form in the tank and must evaporate to be used in most heaters. The colder the temperature the propane tank is stored at the lower the pressure is in the tank. As the liquid propane evaporates it cools down the liquid propane still in the tank. As a result at minus -20 you might have a half full twenty pound tank and not have enough pressure to run the heater.
What element is used to make oxy acetylene flames?
Oxygen and acetylene are used.
Does PRESSURE in a propane tank without propane have any weight?
Yes, pressure in a propane tank without propane still has weight. Pressure is the force exerted per unit area, and it does have a measurable weight. However, the weight of the pressure alone may not be significant compared to the weight of the tank itself.
What gasses are used for thermal cutting?
acetylene, propane, propylene, methyl-acetylene-propolene, methane
What fuel is used for sweating plumbing pipes?
An acetylene or propane torch.
What gas is used in a bbq tank?
Depending on the regulator valve of the barbeque, it can be either propane or butane. Propane seems to be the most common these days. Source: http://www.infomania.co.uk/archives/234

Which color hoses to be used in oxy acetylene flame cutting?
Red for the combustible gas (Acetylene - MAPP - Propane), green for the Oxygen. All Oxy-fuel torches use these hose colors.
Is it safe to use an acetylene tank that has not been used in about 10 years?
If there is pressure in the tank it may be possible to use it. If not I wouldn't recommend it. In the tank there are blocks of material and Acetone. These absorb the Acetylene allowing it to be charged to 300 PSI. If the Acetone (it is in liquid form) has leaked out the Acetylene could explode if the cylinder is recharged. Acetylene pressure is RED LINED at 35PSI.
What are the gases that can be used as fuels?
Methane, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), butane, propane, acetylene, ethylene are gases that can be used as fuels.
Does any brand of propane work for my new BBQ grill?
There is only one type of propane that can be used for your BBQ. If you go to any store that sells propane for BBQs you will be able to purchase a tank of propane. However since this is the first time you will be connecting your BBQ to a propane tank you have to make sure that you have the right fittings and hose to connect to the tank.
How Does a Propane Tank Work?
Propane fuel comes in either a liquid or gas form, and is used to power engines, gas torches, barbecue grills, portable stoves, and residential heating. You are probably most familiar with propane in tanks. Propane tanks are used for fuel in cooking on grills or camping stoves. The tank is normally 4.73 gallons, and is often referred to as a barbecue tank. The propane tank works by way of an attached metering nozzle device. Some rural homes or farms use larger propane tanks that are periodically refilled by propane-delivery trucks. These are common to homes or farms without convenient access to other energy sources. Larger residential propane tanks can be used to fuel furnaces, cooking stoves, water heaters, laundry dryers, grain dryers, and various heat-producing appliances around the home. Propane containers hold propane in its liquid form. Tanks use a series of standardized valves. These valves work together to ensure proper propane maintenance. The valves on a propane tank include a • Fill valve, which is used for attaching a delivery hose and refilling the propane tank. • Vapor return valve that functions to normalize pressure within the tank during propane delivery. • Service valve, which changes liquid gas propane into a vapor. • Relief valve that is used to release excess pressure and prevent volatile reactions. • Liquid withdraw valve, which controls the amount of LP gas that is released from the propane tank. In addition to these valves, two types of standardized gauges are essential to proper tank operation. A float gauge measures the amount of propane in the tank and a fixed liquid level gauge indicates when the propane level exceeds 80% of the tank’s total volume. Propane tank installation is a licensed trade, and only skilled individuals may install a propane storage tank. Professional propane workers ensure compliance with state regulations and safety to propane tank users. For larger tanks, a crane is often used for installing the propane container. A propane delivery driver will periodically return and refill a propane tank as it is needed. In addition, the driver is needed to recertify the tank for safety every 5 years, and to check environmental hazards.
