The fuse plugs on acetylene tanks serve as safety devices designed to prevent the risk of explosion in case of a fire or excessive heat. They are made of materials that melt at specific temperatures, allowing the gas to vent safely from the tank instead of building up pressure, which could lead to a catastrophic failure. By releasing the gas, fuse plugs help mitigate the dangers associated with overheating and potential combustion.

Can a propane regulator be used with an acetylene tank?
No, a propane regulator is designed for use with propane gas cylinders and should not be used with an acetylene tank. Acetylene requires specialized equipment, including a regulator specifically designed for acetylene to ensure safe and proper gas flow control. Mixing up regulators for different gases can be dangerous and lead to equipment failure.
What is oxygen gas cylinder volume and pressure?
Depends on its size. people with breathing problems have a small portable oxygen tank, hospitals may have a very large tank for the whole hospital, welders have an intermediate size tank for oxy-acetylene torches.
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
Why doesn't the water in the deaerator tank turns to steam?
The water in the deaerator tank doesn't turn into steam because the water is kept at a high pressure, preventing it from boiling. The purpose of the deaerator is to remove dissolved gases from the feedwater, not to produce steam.
What is it necessary to fill the space between the outer casing and the inner tank of water heater with glass?
Filling the space between the outer casing and the inner tank of a water heater with glass is not necessary. This space is often filled with insulation material to help retain the heat of the water inside the tank and improve energy efficiency. Glass is not typically used for this purpose due to its fragility and lack of insulation properties.
How many pounds per square inch in an acetylene tank?
In a new acetylene tank that is full there is 250 psi
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 Oxygen-acetylene welding equipments?
Oxygen tank, Acetylene tank, regulators for each tank, hoses, a torch, and a striker. Check valves are also a good idea if they're not already installed.
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.
How many regulators are there on an oxyacetylene welder?
There are 2. One for the Oxygen tank and one for the Acetylene tank.
Can a propane regulator be used with an acetylene tank?
No, a propane regulator is designed for use with propane gas cylinders and should not be used with an acetylene tank. Acetylene requires specialized equipment, including a regulator specifically designed for acetylene to ensure safe and proper gas flow control. Mixing up regulators for different gases can be dangerous and lead to equipment failure.
What is the material that comes out when a acetylene tank is laid down too long?
That would be acetone.
97 mercury mystique 20 will turn over but not startthere is spark from plugs no activity in gas tank from fuel pump when ignition is turned on is this the pump or maybe a fuse?
Pump, fuse, or fuel pump relay.
A 75.0L steel tank at 20.00 degree C contains acetylene gas C2H2 at a pressure of 1.39atm Assuming ideal behavior how many grams of acetylene are in the tank?
=26 x (pressure in kpa times 75.0)/(8.31 x 293)
Where are the gas tank drain plugs on the Z32 ... If any?
no drain plugs. need to drop the fuel tank below the vechice. no drain plugs. need to drop the fuel tank below the vechice.
What type of thread is used on the acetylene supply?
Acetylene is typically supplied through a specialized type of thread known as a CGA 510 connection. This thread type ensures a secure and leak-free connection between the acetylene supply tank and the regulator or other equipment being used.
How do you torch a cooper pipe in an air conditioning system?
If installing or replacing a copper line on an AC unit you must 'braze' the line with an acetylene and air tank mixture. Use 10 psig on the O2 tank and 5 psig on the acetylene tank. You will need a need a 'neutral' flame. You can not get enough heat by using a propane torch. You will need enough heat to melt the 5% silver solder.
