Acetylene (C2H2)

Acetylene is a colorless, flammable fuel gas with a faint garlic-like odor. Thanks to its triple-bond structure, it produces the hottest common hydrocarbon flame when combined with oxygen, reaching up to 5,580°F (3,087°C) and releasing about 1,470 BTU per cubic foot. That heat and energy make acetylene the go-to choice for fast cutting, welding, brazing, soldering, and heating.

Why Phoenix Welding Supply

  • Arizona’s only acetylene manufacturing facility for dependable local supply and shorter lead times
  • Cylinder options from MC and B to large industrial and manifolded packs
  • Expert guidance on tip selection, fuel-to-oxygen ratios, and safe storage

Typical applications

  • Oxy-fuel cutting and gouging
  • Torch welding and brazing of steel and copper alloys
  • Silver soldering and general shop heating

Safety quick tips

  • Keep cylinders upright and secured
  • Use acetylene-rated regulators and flashback arrestors
  • Do not exceed 15 psig service pressure
  • Store and use in well ventilated areas away from heat and ignition sources

Get started: Request acetylene pricing or visit a branch near you.

Nitrogen (N)

Nitrogen is an inert, dry gas ideal for purging, blanketing, pressure testing, food packaging, laser assist, and cryogenic applications. We supply N2 in industrial, instrument, and ultra high purity grades.

Common uses

Safety quick tips

  • Nitrogen displaces oxygen. Use in well ventilated areas and consider oxygen monitoring where appropriate
  • For liquid service, wear cryogenic PPE and avoid trapping liquid in closed systems
  • Secure cylinders upright and cap when not in use

Note: We do not supply medical grade gases.

Get started: Request nitrogen pricing or find a branch near you.
