Marine Acetylene Cylinders Supplier - Gas Systems

Marine acetylene cylinders are specialized gas storage units designed for maritime use, ensuring safe transport and handling of acetylene. These systems include robust safety features to prevent leaks and withstand harsh marine environments. They are essential for welding, cutting, and other industrial applications on ships and offshore platforms.

Size: Typically available in 10 ft³, 40 ft³, and 100 ft³ capacities.

Grade: Industrial-grade acetylene with 99.6% purity.

Viscosity: Not applicable (gaseous state at standard conditions).

Buoyancy: Negative buoyancy when submerged due to steel construction.

Material: High-strength carbon steel with porous mass (acetone-soaked filler).

Pressure Rating: 250 psi (1.72 MPa) at 21°C (70°F).

Valve Type: Brass or stainless steel with left-hand thread (CGA 510).

Operating Temperature: -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to 149°F).

Regulator Compatibility: Requires acetylene-specific regulators.

Safety Features: Fusible plugs (melting at ~100°C) and pressure relief devices.

Coating: Marine-grade corrosion-resistant paint or epoxy coating.

Weight: Varies by size (e.g., 40 ft³ cylinder ~60-70 kg).

Certification: DOT/TC/IMO compliant for marine transport.
