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.
In a new acetylene tank that is full there is 250 psi
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.
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.
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.
There are 2. One for the Oxygen tank and one for the Acetylene tank.
That would be acetone.
No, it is not safe to put CO2 in a tank designed for an oxygen acetylene torch. The tanks and regulators for oxygen and acetylene are specifically designed and labeled for those gases. Using them for CO2 can lead to safety hazards and risks of contamination. It is essential to use the appropriate equipment for each gas to ensure safety and proper functioning.

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.
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.
The pressure of a full acetylene cylinder can vary depending on the size of the cylinder and the temperature. Acetylene is typically stored in cylinders at a pressure of around 250 psi (pounds per square inch) at room temperature. However, this pressure can increase as the temperature rises, so it is important to follow safety guidelines and regulations when handling acetylene cylinders.
It is safe to use an expired propane tank because it is a heat source and not an actual food. The only concern is if the tank is still safe to use without a risk of combusting.
