Acetylene Handling Practicals
Trainees learn first that an acetylene cylinder is always stood and used upright. They place it on a Gas Cylinder Trolley beside the oxygen cylinder and remove the cap. Then they fit the acetylene regulator from the Oxyacetylene Gas Welding Kit, turning its nut anticlockwise to tighten the left-hand thread.
Every joint is wetted with Bubble Solution For Leak Detection and watched for bubbles. Teachers use the lesson to explain the lighting order: acetylene is lit first. At shutdown the acetylene valve on the torch is usually closed first, so the flame goes out cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why must an acetylene cylinder stay upright?
Acetylene cylinders are packed with a porous filling that holds acetone, and the gas is dissolved in that acetone. Upright, the acetone stays below the valve. On its side, acetone can be drawn out with the gas and spoil the flame.
What should be done if an acetylene cylinder gets hot?
Treat it as an emergency, because heat can start the acetylene breaking down inside the cylinder. Close the valve only if it is safe to reach, clear everyone from the area and call the fire service. Do not move the cylinder.
How far should the cylinder valve be opened?
Only about one turn, and slowly. That passes all the gas a torch needs at its low working pressure, and the valve can be shut at once if anything goes wrong. Never open an acetylene valve fully.
How is a leak found on the valve or regulator?
Wet the valve spindle, the regulator joint and the hose ends with leak-test solution while the gas is on, then watch for growing bubbles. Never look for an acetylene leak with a flame.
How should acetylene cylinders be stored?
Upright, with the valve closed and the cap fitted, in a ventilated store away from oxygen cylinders, heat and sparks. Keep the store clear of anything that could knock a cylinder over.
