An oxyacetylene torch on average will run anywhere between 3,000 and 3,500 degrees Celsius (5,432-6,332 F)
Oxygen is a chemical element, acetylene is an organic chemical compound.
Oxygen and acetylene. A cutting head for an oxy-acetelyne torch has a trigger with greatly increases the oxygen in the mixture when activated. To cut, the excess oxygen in the flame basically burns the metal away.
A general rule is 3 parts Oxygen to 1 part Acetylene. Other fuel gasses may vary the ratio. This produces a Neutral flame. See the answer to "Types of flames" for more info.
The cost to ride on a ferry is $5.00 per vehicle and driver with an additional cost of 50 cents per passenger. If the charge to get on the ferry is $6.50, how many people were in the vehicle?
Earth contains 21 percent of oxygen in the atmosphere!coz earth contains only hot gases and oxygen is not a hot gas!:D
Oxygen Acetylene torch will get to 5800-6300 degrees Fahrenheit easily.
a flame needs a source which is provided by oxygen and acetylene
In normal usage in an oxy/acetylene cutting torch, the acetylene hose is red and the oxygen hose is green.
With the correct mixture of Acetylene and Oxygen the flame can reach 5,000F or more. Other fuels (Propane etc.) do not create temperatures this high.
Oxygen is not actually explosive. In an acetylene torch, the torch burns the acetylene and the oxygen only facilitates combustion, so it is not burning the oxygen. Hospitals warn of the explosion hazard of oxygen because pure oxygen accelerates the burn of fuel so fast that it is like an explosion. In common air there is roughly 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, all fuels must have oxygen to burn and when pure oxygen is introduced the fire then has more oxygen thus it accelerates the fire.
oxy-acetylene torch
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.
oxygen supports the combustion of the gas that one uses in the welding/cutting torch. Acetylene combined with Oxygen produces the hottest flame.
An oxy acetylene torch is hot enough to melt quartz, which has a melting point of 4200 degrees F.
Oxygen and acetylene tanks feed into your torch. When opened, the gases will mix in a chamber in the torch, then flow out of the torch tip. Using a spark lighter, they will ignite causing a flame. This flame can be adjusted to a neutral flame by moving the knobs on the tank regulators.
