About Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders

Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders

When it comes to easily transporting acetylene to various companies where this chemical find applicability, nothing can serve better than Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders. These cylinders are crucial for safe storage and effective working of acetylene. Acetylene is a hazardous and flammable gas which must not be used in it's pure state which is why liquid acetone is added in acetylene under very high pressure. A permeable or soluble material like firebrick is added in cylinder along with the prepared acetylene, which makes it easy for the supplier to ship it and the user to get acetylene in the most perfect and effective form.

We a well-known manufacturer, exporter and supplier, engaged in offering excellent quality Dissolved Acetylene Cylinder. Offered cylinder contain dissolved acetylene gas which is used in various industries for welding purpose. Under our experts' supervision, these cylinders are manufactured by utilizing the best quality raw material as per the set industry standards. Moreover, these Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders are widely demanded in market for their high endurance, excellent resistance from corrosion, leak proof structure, durable and heat resistant finish. This cylinder is fitted with a valve, fuse plug, long fiber asbestos and metal detachable cap, which makes it possible for the user to easily open it and use it.

Key Points:

When not in use, this cylinder must be stored carefully and separately, so as to prevent accidents like explosion.
This cylinder must always be kept and used in upright position.
No leakage related issues because it is made using steel.
This cylinder aid in reliable shipment of acetylene.
These cylinders are safe to use and prevent any dangerous reaction of acetylene.
Cylinder valve when closed properly, it prevent excessive heating and extinguish flame.
Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders are different from other cylinders because a porous ingredient is added to them.
Availability of cylinders in various sizes, diameter and wall thicknesses.

Reliable Acetylene Storage

These cylinders provide safe and efficient containment for acetylene, making them essential for fabrication and chemical processes. Durable steel construction and stringent testing guarantee performance and longevity, supporting a ten-year service life with periodic retesting.

Superior Safety Features

Engineered with a high-quality brass valve (IS:3224 standard), a safety device, and calcium silicate porous mass, the cylinders mitigate risks associated with acetylene storage. The maroon color ensures clear identification and safe workplace practices.

Optimal for Industrial Applications

With generous gas capacity (68 kg) and compatible dimensions (230 mm diameter, 950 mm height), these cylinders are widely used in welding, cutting, and chemical industries across India. Their seamless or welded structure enhances reliability during demanding operations.

FAQs of Dissolved Acetylene Cylinders:

Q: How is acetylene safely stored in these cylinders?

A: Acetylene is dissolved in acetone and stabilized within a calcium silicate porous mass inside the steel cylinder, ensuring safe containment and minimizing risks associated with direct storage of acetylene gas.

Q: What is the purpose of the brass valve and safety device on the cylinder?

A: The IS:3224 compliant brass valve regulates gas flow and prevents accidental release, while the integrated safety device provides protection against dangerous pressure buildup and ensures operational security.

Q: When does the cylinder require retesting, and how long can it be used?

A: Each acetylene cylinder has a standard service life of ten years, with retesting mandated according to regulatory norms to verify integrity and safe operation throughout its lifespan.

Q: Where are these acetylene cylinders commonly used?

A: These cylinders are employed in industries such as welding, metal cutting, chemical manufacturing, and various fabrication workshops, predominantly across India but also in international markets.

Q: What is the process for filling and using the acetylene cylinder?

A: Filling involves dissolving acetylene gas in acetone, which is then absorbed by the porous mass within the cylinder. Usage requires connecting the cylinder with proper regulators and safety checks to ensure controlled gas delivery for industrial tasks.

Q: What are the benefits of using calcium silicate as the porous mass?

A: Calcium silicate provides excellent absorption and distribution of acetone and acetylene, reducing the risks of decomposition and enhancing stability and safety during storage and usage.

Q: How do the cylinders specifications enhance its function in industrial settings?

A: Specifications like tested pressure (31.2 kg/cm), maroon color, wall thickness (minimum 3.6 mm), and efficient valve connections ensure reliable performance, safety, and compatibility with standard industry equipment.
