This really depends on where you live and the laws of that area.
The colors of the tanks are for helping firefighters know when something is dangerous. Even more important is the labeling on the tank. The tanks are usually coded to OSHA HAZMAT colors very very carefully.
Oxygen tanks are usually green, since oxygen doesnt burn. It is still risky in a fire because it can help something on fire to burn hotter or longer.
I have seen acetylene tanks black, yellow, red and blue, but the labels on them always are correctly marked.
That stuff burns and burns hot. Firefighters are very careful around the stuff.
"Combustion with oxygen achieves a flame temperature of 5580° F"
What else can I help you with?
Which gases burn hot?
The oxyacetylene flame has a temperature of 3 480 oC.
What oxyacetylene flame has an excess of fuel?
An oxyacetylene flame with an excess of fuel is called a "carburizing" or "reducing" flame. In this flame, there is more acetylene than oxygen, resulting in a softer, more luminous flame that produces carbon soot. This type of flame is typically used for welding specific metals that require a protective atmosphere to prevent oxidation. It is characterized by a larger inner cone and a more pronounced outer envelope compared to an oxidizing flame.
Which element is used to make oxyacetylene flame?
You light the acetylene first, then you add oxygen.
What do you mean oxyacetylene flame?
An oxyacetylene flame is a type of hot, precise flame created by combining oxygen and acetylene gases in a welding torch. This flame is commonly used in metal cutting, welding, and brazing applications due to its high temperature and ability to produce a concentrated heat source.
What color is the flame of strontium cloride?
The flame of strontium chloride is a bright red color.
Which gases burn hot?
The oxyacetylene flame has a temperature of 3 480 oC.
How much is the oxyacetylene flame temperature?
3315.555556ºC It is my understanding that an acetylene torch produces a flame temperature of approx. 6000 degrees Fahrenheit.

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.
What color is ethylene flame?
clean blue flame
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.
What are uses of each one of the oxyacetylene flames?
There are three distinct types of oxy-acetylene flames, usually termed: -Neutral: The neutral flame will usually have no chemical effect on the metal being welded. -Carburizing (or excess acetylene): It will cause an increase in the carbon content of the weld metal. -Oxidizing (or excess oxygen ): It will oxidize or "burn" some of the metal being welded. The type of flame produced depends upon the ratio of oxygen to acetylene in the gas mixture which leaves the torch tip.
What is the color of the flame of mercury?
The color of Mercury in flame is red.
What is the color of the flame of boric acid?
The flame color of boron in the flame test is bright green.
How do you use oxyacetylene in a sentence?
Be very careful with that set oxyacetylene tanks. I'm getting ready to do some oxyacetylene welding.
