It is a combination of oxygen and acetylene gases. Mixed and focused in a stream, it burns hot enough to melt steel. Release as a mixed gas, it can create a huge explosion.

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.


Which lens filter grades are acceptable for use when performing oxyacetylene flame cutting?

It is recommended to use at least a Grade 5 lens filter when performing oxyacetylene flame cutting. This will provide adequate protection against the intense ultraviolet and infrared radiation emitted during the cutting process. Additional layers of protection such as safety goggles or a face shield may also be necessary depending on the specific cutting operation.


What reaction takes place during oxyacetylene gas welding?

During oxyacetylene gas welding, acetylene gas and oxygen are mixed in a torch and ignited to produce a high-temperature flame. The heat from this flame melts the metal being welded, while the oxygen assists in the combustion process by providing additional heat and reacting with the metal to form an oxide layer that is then removed as slag.

Can anyone give you info on an Oxy-gasoline cutting system?

Do you mean oxyacetylene cutting? You need a cylinder of oxygen, a cylinder of Acetylene, appropriate regulators and flashback arrestors. Two gas hoses and a cutting torch. The torch mixes the two gasses to burn with a high intensity flame. A trigger on the torch, increases the oxygen flow in the centre of the flame, which cuts and blows the molten metal away.


How hot does oxyacetylene get?

Oxyacetylene flames can reach temperatures up to 6,332°F (3,500°C) when burned with the optimal ratio of oxygen and acetylene.
