Description

Acetylene Cylinders

Acetylene cylinders contain acetylene gas, dissolved in acetone, that is absorbed into a calcium silicate porous mass within the cylinder. The porous mass is designed to inhibit decomposition, which, when left to itself, could create an extremely hazardous and volatile condition. Acetylene cylinders should always be stored in an upright position to avoid any leaks or unwanted reactions.

Cyl-Tec’s acetylene cylinders are fully inspected and leak-tested before delivery to ensure reliability.
