A flame requires an adequate supply of oxygen to sustain combustion. The exact amount of oxygen needed varies depending on the fuel and the conditions of the combustion process. Generally, a balanced ratio of oxygen and fuel is necessary for efficient burning.

What type of gas does fire need?

Oxygen is required in order for a fire to continue burning. Without oxygen a flame will extinquish itself.


What is minimum concentration of oxygen required for combustion?

The minimum concentration of oxygen required for combustion is typically around 16% in air. Below this level, the fuel will not be able to sustain a flame or combust.


How is fabric flame retardant?

What types of flame are obtained in oxy-acetylene gas welding?

When the correct amount of Oxygen is mixed with the Acetylene a NEUTRAL flame is produced. Less than that amount produces a CARBURIZING flame. Too much Oxygen creates an OXIDIZING flame. Most welding/cutting is done with a NEUTRAL flame but all flame adjustments have their purpose.

Why does the flame of a candle die when you cut off air supply?

The flame of a candle requires oxygen to continue burning. When you cut off the air supply, the flame is deprived of oxygen which is essential for the combustion process. Without oxygen, the flame cannot sustain itself and eventually dies out.

What are the three types of acetylene welding flames?

Mixing Acetylene and Oxygen in the correct proportions produces an extremely hot flame. Using just enough Oxygen so that the Acetylene is almost completely consumed in the flame is called a Neutral Flame. In most welding and cutting applications you would utilize this flame. Reducing the amount of Oxygen produces a Carburizing Flame. It is yellowish and not as hot as a Neutral Flame, but, is used in certain situations. Welding Aluminum is one. Increasing the Oxygen produces an Oxidizing Flame. It produces a flame that is pointed, colder, and louder than a Neutral Flame. It wastes fuel and isn't as efficient as a Neutral Flame.
