Description
- They use the same regulator fittings as BOC, Air Products and Air Liquide & Calor
- No bottle rental
- No environmental charges
- No fees to come and collect a cylinder
- Refundable deposit of £25.00, which is fully refundable on return of cylinder at any point.
- Cylinder dimension and weight can vary depending on whether you receive an aluminium or steel cylinder, but average cylinder content is maintained
High energy fuel gas. A substitute for acetylene in heating and cutting applications.
- Clean burning flame. 2900? for a neutral flame in oxygen. (Compare to 2526? for propane, and 3087? for acetylene.)
- 20 times more stable than acetylene.
- Suitable for hand cutting, machine cutting, flame hardening, metalizing, brazing, soldering, welding, pre-heating and stress relieving.
- Oxy-propylene heats quicker and cuts faster than oxy-acetylene.
- There is no draw-off limit as for acetylene cylinders, and the secondary flame carries higher heat levels.
- Costs less and lasts longer than acetylene.
- Typically there's a 50% reduction on cost. Outlasts the equivalent sized acetylene cylinder by about 2.5 times.
- All cylinders have the same left-hand threaded standard fitting as BOC, Air Products & Air Liquide & Calor.
Acetylene gauges, torches and welding tips usually work well with Propylene. For optimum performance, speak to your equipment provider for information about suitability of tips, hoses, and regulators for use with Propylene
When it comes to safety, Propylene is the industry leader. With Propylene, you have a lower chance of flashbacks and Propylene is 20 times more stable compared to Acetylene
| Comparison | Propylene | Acetylene |
| Flammability range | 2 - 11% in air | 2.5 - 80% in air |
| Cylinder content | 10L | 10L |
| Flashback Potential | Minimal | Dangerous |
| Operating pressure | 1 - 133 psi | 1 - 15 psi |
| Gas Stability | 20 * more stable | unstable |
| No Solvent or filler | Dissolved in acetone, with filler |
Please note
All cylinders are owned, maintained and tested by Adams gas and are never at any point owned by the user. To check the test date of a cylinder, please look at the coloured ring around the gas valve. The deposit on the cylinder is held by Adams gas and is fully refundable on return of the cylinder, at any point and is not subject to a limited time frame. The deposit will only be refunded to the account holder, should the cylinder be passed on to a third party, please notify us to avoid any confusion later on.
