  2. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    Oxy-propane torches are usually used for cutting up scrap to save money, as LPG is far cheaper joule for joule than acetylene, although propane does not produce acetylene's very neat cut profile. Propane also finds a place in production, for cutting very large sections. Oxy-acetylene can cut only low- to medium-carbon steels and wrought iron ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas

    A set of MAPP and oxygen cylinders is used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting.. MAPP gas was a trademarked name, belonging to The Linde Group, a division of the former global chemical giant Union Carbide, for a fuel gas based on a stabilized mixture of methylacetylene (propyne), propadiene and propane.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Methylacetylene-propadiene gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylacetylene-propadiene_gas

    Methylacetylene-propadiene (MPS) gas is a type of fuel gas used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches, comprising a mixture of several gases. MPS gases [ edit ]

  7. Propane torch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane_torch

    The balanced equation shows to use 1 mole of propane for every 5 moles of oxygen. With air/fuel torches, since air contains about 21% oxygen, a very large ratio of air to fuel must be used to obtain the maximum flame temperature with air. If the propane does not receive enough oxygen, some of the carbon from the propane is left unburned.

  8. Pipe Cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Cutting

    Plasma CNC Pipe Cutting . Hot cutting refers to a process in which materials are cut using a thermal torch. One of the most common techniques is oxy-fuel gas cutting, which is used extensively for cutting carbon and low-alloy steels. However, its efficiency diminishes as the alloy content of the material increases, limiting its applicability ...

    Neck – A coaxial cylindrical extension of the shoulder with a threaded hole into which the cylinder valve or a gas pipe connection is fitted. [4] Boss – A sturdy insert, usually in the centre of the shoulder, into which a valve or gas pipe connection is fitted. [4] Base or foot – The end of the shell opposite the shoulder. [4]
