Industrial Applications

Fleet-Based Commercial Services; Retail (Automotive)
Acetylene is a crucial component in low-pressure carburizing, which creates strong, wear-resistant surface layers on steel parts.

Manufacturing & Metal Fabrication
Acetylene offers the hottest flame temperature of commercially available fuel gases—making it the ideal gas for oxy-fuel welding, cutting and brazing applications.

Laboratories
Air/acetylene and nitrous-oxide/acetylene are the gas mixtures used as a fuel source in Flame Atomic Absorption (FLAA).

Supply Modes

High-pressure & Liquid Cylinders
With 11 acetylene fill plants nationwide, Airgas continually meets supply needs in welding, shielding and cutting gas with compressed acetylene gas and acetylene liquid cylinders.
