What temperature does oxygen acetylene burn at?

about 3100 °C.
The heat is generated by the combustion of acetylene in oxygen, which gives a flame temperature of about 3100 °C. This is lower than the temperature of an electric arc, and also produces a less concentrated heat.

What temp does acetylene ignite?

The adiabatic flame temperature (AFT) in air at atmospheric pressure is 2534 deg C. The auto ignition temperature of acetylene gas is 305 deg C. Its lower and upper explosive limits in air under STP conditions (0 deg C and 1.02 kg/sq cm) are 2.4 volume % to 83 volume %.

What temperature does acetylene burn at without oxygen?

Flame Temperatures

Fuel	Flame Temperature
acetylene	3,100 °C (oxygen), 2,400 °C (air)
blowtorch	1,300 °C (2,400 °F, air)
Bunsen burner	1,300-1,600 °C (2,400-2,900 °F, air)
butane	1,970 °C (air)

Can I use LPG instead of acetylene?

Firstly: Propane cannot be used for Gas Welding. When acetylene burns in oxygen, it creates a reducing zone that cleans the steel surface. Propane do not have a reducing zone like acetylene and can hence not be used for Gas Welding.

Why does acetylene burn so hot?

Acetylene, for example, burns very hot because of the triple bond between the carbon atoms in it. Other factors increasing flame temperature include using pure oxygen rather than air, having just the right amount of oxygen to ensure complete combustion of the fuel, and low heat radiation to the surroundings.

What is the hottest burning torch fuel?

In fact, the oxyacetylene combination produces hotter flames than any other gas combinations.

Which is hotter acetylene or propane?

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.
