For welding and cutting
Acetylene is a fuel gas that, together with oxygen, is used for welding and cutting steel, soldering, flame cleaning and flame direction. Acetylene provides the hottest temperature applied in industrial processes. Acetylene-oxygen is a highly productive gas combination that can reach flame temperatures of upwards of 3150 °C. Oxyacetylene provides optimal localized heating with minimal waste heat. The flame has a very low degree of humidity, which makes it a good choice in many critical heating applications.
