It is due to several reasons.

1- it is prepared from Calcium carbide and for carbide coal is required which is not very common in all countries. 2- it can not be liquefy easily. 3- Its combustion produces a huge amount of heat which may melt the metallic parts of Vachel.

What does acetone absorb in acetylene tanks?

Acetone is used in acetylene tanks to absorb and stabilize acetylene gas. It acts as a solvent that helps dissolve acetylene, allowing for safer storage at higher pressures. By absorbing acetylene, acetone prevents the gas from becoming too concentrated, which could lead to instability or detonation. This combination helps ensure the safe handling and transport of acetylene.


Gas used in welding is what?

GASSES - Oxygen and Acetylene. Acetylene is sometimes replaced by a mixture of gasses. The Oxygen increases the burning rate/temperature of Acetylene and temperatures in excess of 6,000o F can be reached.

What element is used in oxy-acetylene flame?

The element used in an oxy-acetylene flame is carbon. Acetylene gas acts as the fuel, while oxygen is used as the oxidizer in the flame. The high temperature resulting from the combustion of acetylene and oxygen produces a clean and precise flame that is commonly used in cutting and welding applications.


Can you use argon and acetylene together?

Yes, argon and acetylene can be used together in some welding processes. Acetylene provides the heat needed for welding, while argon can be used as a shielding gas to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination. However, care must be taken when using acetylene as it is a highly flammable gas.
