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.
Organisms that use oxygen?
Aerobic organisms use oxygen.
What is reaction of oxygen and acetylene?
it is used for cutting metals ( example with a proper mixture by regulators you use a cutting torch) +++ The mixture as such is just oxygen and acetylene, but acetylene is highly flammable and when additional oxygen is introduced, the flame is hot enough to melt steel to weld it. ' For cutting, the metal is first brought to melting-point or nearly so by the gas flame, then excess oxygen is added to burn rather than melt the iron itself, with the gas flame maintaining the heat input and temperature. The oxy-gas cutting torch differs from the welding torch by a different type of nozzle and having a trigger on its side to operate the cutting-oxygen valve.
How plants and people use oxygen?
Well people breath oxygen and plants use it in photosythesis
What is the most common use for oxygen?
Aerobic cellular respiration is the most common use for oxygen.
Why for welding use oxygen and acetylene?
Because of all the gas combinations used with this process Oxygen and Acetylene, in correct proportions, produce the highest flame temperature.
Can you use argon and acetylene together?
acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.
What gases do mechanics use for heating metals during welding?
mixture of oxygen and acetylene (oxyacetylene)
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
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.
Are these gas dangerous or not oxygen?
Strangely enough, pure oxygen is very dangerous. I was helping a mechanic work on my truck once. He was using an oxyacetylene torch. When you use one of those, you turn the oxygen on after the acetylene is lit, and turn the oxygen off before turning off the acetylene. He turned the acetylene off first and accidentally sprayed my greased fifth wheel with pure oxygen. The oxygen reacted with the grease and set it on fire. The reason I was there was to operate the shop's huge fire extinguisher; we got the fire put out quickly.
Did welders use oxygen gas to weld anything?
Yes, oxygen is used in a process called oxygen- acetylene welding and brazing. Oxygen- acetylene welding mixes the two gases to producea flame to melt the metal to be welded. Afiller materialisfed into the "puddle" to form the weld. It is used normally on thin metals and cast metals. Brazing is much the same but the filler material is coated in a flux to keep impurities out of the weld. It is used on cast steels and cast iron.
Can you use acetylene torch for silfoss?
no
What gas is used in cylinders that blow out fire?

What is the uses of acetylene?
The chemical acetylene is used as a fuel some times, and a chemical building block. It is used in Oxyacetylene welding. It has other uses such as hardening steel, and it was once used to light up towns via street lights.
What is the industrial use of acetylene?
Acetylene uses:- welding- metals cutting- feedstock for plastics and acrylic products fabrication
What is a possible source of explosions in an auto shop?
Gasoline dripping or spilled on shop floor.Gasoline used for cleaning purposes.Over charged battery.The careless use of oxygen/acetylene torches.
