Genuine MAPP gas can be used in combination with oxygen for heating, soldering, brazing and even welding because of its high flame temperature of 2925 °C (5300 °F) in oxygen. Although acetylene has a higher flame temperature (3160 °C, 5720 °F), MAPP has the advantage that it requires neither dilution nor special container fillers during ...
The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than in the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate ...
The adiabatic flame temperature of a given fuel and oxidizer pair is that at which the gases achieve stable combustion. Oxy–dicyanoacetylene 4,990 °C (9,000 °F) Oxy–acetylene 3,997 °C (7,200 °F) [68] Oxyhydrogen 3,473 °C (6,300 °F) [68] Air–acetylene 2,500 °C (4,500 °F) [68] Blowtorch (air–MAPP gas) 2,200 °C (4,000 °F)
MAPP gas can be used at much higher pressures than acetylene, sometimes up to 40 or 50 psi in high-volume oxy-fuel cutting torches which can cut up to 12-inch-thick (300 mm) steel. Other welding gases that develop comparable temperatures need special procedures for safe shipping and handling.
A propane torch is a tool normally used for the application of flame or heat which uses propane, a hydrocarbon gas, for its fuel and ambient air as its combustion medium. Propane is one of a group of by-products of the natural gas and petroleum industries known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Fat Quality Smoke point [caution 1]; Almond oil: 221 °C: 430 °F [1]: Avocado oil: Refined: 271 °C: 520 °F [2] [3]: Avocado oil: Unrefined: 250 °C: 482 °F [4]: Beef tallow: 250 °C: 480 °F
Temperature of atmosphere links to adiabatic flame temperature (i.e., heat will transfer to a cooler atmosphere more quickly) How stoichiometric the combustion process is (a 1:1 stoichiometricity) assuming no dissociation will have the highest flame temperature; excess air/oxygen will lower it as will lack of air/oxygen
Burn rate (typically expressed in mm/s or in/s) is the sample length over time at a given pressure and temperature. For solid fuel propellant, the most common method of measuring burn rate is the Crawford Type Strand Burning Rate Bomb System [3] (also known as the Crawford Burner or Strand Burner), as described in MIL-STD-286C.
