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 state of matter is Acetylene in the cylinder under pressure?

Acetylene is different from most gasses in a tank. An acetylene tank is not hollow- it contains a porous material (think of a hard sponge) that is saturated with liquid acetone. When acetylene is pumped into the tank under pressure, it dissolves in the liquid. This is similar to how carbon dioxide dissolves in a soda (in a bottle or an) under pressure. While in the tank, it is mainly in a liquid.

What are the main consideration for the storage of compressed gas cylinder?

Go and check safety regulations, and do it thoroughly. Some cylinders must be stored under very strict conditions - acetylene cylinders, for instance, contain a fusible pressure release plug that may leak acetylene, and an acetylene-air mixture is highly explosive. Check the regs.


What is the pressure of a full acetylene cylinder?

OSHA standard, 1910.253(a)(2) says:Maximum pressure. Under no condition shall acetylene be generated, piped(except in approved cylinder manifolds) or utilized at a pressure in excess of 15psig (103 kPa gauge pressure) or 30 psia (206 kPa absolute). ... This requirementis not intended to apply to storage of acetylene dissolved in a suitable solvent incylinders manufactured and maintained according to U.S. Department ofTransportation requirements, or to acetylene for chemical use. The use of liquidacetylene shall be prohibited.
