Acetylene Gas Cylinder Regulator

GZ Industrial Supplies is the distributor and supplier of Industrial Tools  in Nigeria. Our Acetylene Gas Cylinder Regulator is a High Quality two stage Acetylene Gas Regulator for use on Industrial, refillable Acetylene Gas Cylinders.

The Acetylene Gas Cylinder Regulator is recommended for applications that require a constant delivery pressure over a range of decreasing inlet pressures. This precise two stage regulation provides superior operating characteristics for applications where change in delivery pressure would affect performance characteristics of work or test results. The two stage VTS 700 regulators are designed for heavy duty applications & large cylinders and applications requiring precise & constant outlet pressure with a high flow rate up to 8,000 SCFH.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1 What pressure do we set acetylene regulators to?

The recommended oxy/acetylene cutting tip pressures vary by size. To cut steel less than 1 ½" thick and without manufacturer settings, set the acetylene regulator to 10 psig and the oxygen regulator to 40 psig.

Q2 What is used to stabilize acetylene gas?

Acetone is added to acetylene cylinders to assist the gas stay stable. If an operator exceeds the recommended flow rate, the cylinder will remove both gas and acetone. Reduced acetone levels can make the cylinder unstable and unsafe.

Q3 What causes acetylene to explode?

If a cylinder containing pressurized acetylene gas is subjected to a flashback, begins to warm up or vibrate, or was involved in a fire, its contents may have began to degrade. This process can become self-sustaining, leading the cylinder to explode several hours after the first incident.
