40Liter Acetylene Cylinder
Acetylene cylinders do not contain compressed or liquidized acetylene; instead, they contain gaseous acetylene that has been dissolved into acetone and absorbed into a porous mass within the cylinder.
DSW is one of the global leaders in acetylene cylinders and acetylene gas and is trusted in over 50 countries worldwide.

Features
High-pressure storage: Acetylene gas cylinders are designed to withstand high-pressure storage of acetylene gas, typically up to 250 psi (pounds per square inch) or higher.
Robust construction: Acetylene cylinders are constructed using durable materials such as seamless steel or aluminum alloy. This ensures strength, safety, and longevity under high-pressure conditions.
Porous mass: Inside the cylinder is a porous mass, commonly filled with a material like calcium silicate or diatomaceous earth. This mass helps stabilize the acetylene gas, preventing decomposition and maintaining its integrity.
Dissolved acetylene: Acetylene is stored in the cylinders in a dissolved state, typically in a solvent such as acetone. This allows for a higher storage capacity compared to compressed acetylene gas.
Specific valve fittings: Acetylene cylinders have specific valve fittings designed to ensure safe and proper connections. These fittings are usually designed to prevent mixing acetylene with air or other flammable gases.

Acetylene Cylinders: Welding Equipment
Acetylene is an extensively used gas in the welding industry. It is used for both welding and cutting operations. In most fabrication industries, acetylene cylinders are a common sight.
When used with oxygen, Acetylene produces the highest flame temperature of any fuel gas. It also has the most concentrated flame but produces less gross heat of combustion than liquid petroleum gases and synthetic gases.
