  2. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    The oxy-acetylene (and other oxy-fuel gas mixtures) welding torch remains a mainstay heat source for manual brazing, as well as metal forming, preparation, and localized heat treating. In addition, oxy-fuel cutting is still widely used, both in heavy industry and light industrial and repair operations.

  3. Carbide lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbide_lamp

    An acetylene gas miner's lamp. A carbide lamp or acetylene gas lamp is a simple lamp that produces and burns acetylene (C 2 H 2), which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC 2) with water (H 2 O). [1] Acetylene gas lamps were used to illuminate buildings, as lighthouse beacons, and as headlights on motor-cars and bicycles. Portable ...

  4. Gas burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_burner

    Propane burner with a Bunsen flame Oxy-Acetylene for cutting through steel rails Flame of a gas and oil, in a dual burner. A gas burner is a device that produces a non-controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas such as acetylene, natural gas, or propane with an oxidizer such as the ambient air or supplied oxygen, and allowing for ignition and ...

  5. Blowtorch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowtorch

    The term "blowtorch" is commonly misused as a name for any metalworking torch, but properly describes the pressurized liquid fuel torches that predate the common use of pressurized fuel gas cylinders. Torches are available in a vast range of size and output power. The term "blowtorch" applies to the obsolescent style of smaller liquid fuel torches.

  6. Lead burning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_burning

    The torch used for lead burning is a small, hot, gas flame. Oxy-acetylene is most commonly used, as it is easily portable. A small size #0 nozzle is usually used, sometimes with a miniature torch body, but the torch is otherwise the same as that used for steel or copper work.

  7. Thermal lance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance

    One end of the tube is placed in a holder and oxygen is fed through the tube. The far end of the tube is pre-heated and lit by an oxyacetylene torch. An intense stream of burning steel is produced at the working end and can be used to cut rapidly through thick materials, including steel and concrete. [2]

  8. Gas lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighting

    Gas lighting in the historical center of Wrocław, Poland, is manually turned off and on daily.. Gas lighting is the production of artificial light from combustion of a fuel gas such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, coal gas (town gas) or natural gas.

  9. Acetylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene

    On the other hand, oxy-acetylene welding equipment is quite versatile – not only because the torch is preferred for some sorts of iron or steel welding (as in certain artistic applications), but also because it lends itself easily to brazing, braze-welding, metal heating (for annealing or tempering, bending or forming), the loosening of ...
