Are all acetylene regulators the same?
Because of the low pressure nature of Acetylene cylinders, the Gas Regulator for Acetylene has a different internal set up. Most Acetylene Regulators have a maximum delivery pressure of 1.5 bar.
Are acetylene and propane regulators the same?
If your working pressure is less than 15PSI you can still use the acetylene regulator because it is designed to be used under the same cylinder pressure as propane and propylene and provides maximum outlet pressure of 15PSI. The same nozzle can be used for both propane and propylene.
What pressure ranges are on an acetylene regulator?
The regulators are suitable for different gases, like air, nitrogen, argon, helium, CO2. They can be used for maximum inlet pressures of up 300 bar and set the working pressure within the ranges of 0-10, 0-20 or 0-100 bar.
What CGA 520?
The Harris® 301 B Tank Acetylene Regulator (CGA 520) is made in the USA and comes with a 7 year factory warranty. It is a single-stage, solid brass regulator designed for light and medium duty welding, cutting and brazing applications.
Can you put acetylene in propane tank?
The answer is yes you can use acetylene regulator on propane however it’s not as simple as grabbing a wrench and attaching a C²H²(acetylene) regulator to a propane tank and going about your day.
What is the normal working pressure for oxygen?
The size and subsequent capacity of the tank may vary but the full pressure is typically about 2,000 psi and can go as high as 3,000 psi. With this pressure level in the tank, a regulator converts the supplied pressure to a lower, and much safer, level for the user.
Can I use propane in place of acetylene?
Propane can like acetylene be used for cutting. Acetylene releases almost 40% of its heat in the inner flame cone. Therefore, acetylene is better for cutting than propane. While temperature wise acetylene is hotter than propane the fact is that people are using propane for cutting incorrectly.
Can I use a propane tip with acetylene?
You certainly can and it will work great if you use propane or mapp as the fuel gas. You will simply melt the tip or backfire with acetylene.
