What is the difference between an oxygen regulator and an acetylene regulator?

An oxygen regulator controls the flow of oxygen from a compressed gas cylinder to a torch or other equipment. An acetylene regulator performs the same function but is specifically designed to handle the characteristics of acetylene gas, which is highly flammable and requires a different pressure setting compared to oxygen.


What is the regulator adjustment pressure for oxygen and acetylene?

The recommended regulator adjustment pressure for oxygen is typically between 20-50 psi, while for acetylene it is usually between 5-15 psi. It is important to consult the specific manufacturer's guidelines for the correct pressure settings for each gas.


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 chloroform converted to acetylene?

Chloroform cannot be directly converted to acetylene. Acetylene is typically produced from calcium carbide through a reaction known as the acetylene generation process. In this process, water is added to calcium carbide to produce acetylene gas.


How does an acetylene regulator work?

The Acetylene Regulator on a pressure bottle is a simple spring and diaphram pressure regulator. What makes it special is 2 things: the material it is built of to prevent the gas from contacting anything it could react to and it is designed to operate only in the correct pressure range. It works by (it is a little more complicated but basicaly) haveing the spring and outlet pressure hold the inlet valve closed untill the pressure on the outlet side dropps below the set pressure. When it does the spring allows the valave to open. The spring tension is adjusted by a screw to increase or decrease the outlet pressure. The lower the outlet pressure gets the flow of the gas increases. The neat part is that the increase in flow will happen over a very small pressure drop. Usually less than 20% of the set pressure.

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 does MC stand for in MC7805 voltage regulator?

Monolithic circuit


Why must acetylene cylinders be stored upright?

Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.
