The Marine Acetylene Distribution System is a specialized gas delivery setup designed for marine environments. It ensures safe and efficient distribution of acetylene gas for welding and cutting applications onboard ships. The system includes regulators, hoses, and safety mechanisms to handle high-pressure gas securely.

The Marine Acetylene Distribution System typically includes the following key specifications and technical properties:

Size: Varies based on application, commonly ranging from small portable units to large fixed installations.

Grade: Industrial-grade acetylene (C2H2) with purity levels typically above 98%.

Viscosity: Not applicable in gaseous form; acetylene is a low-viscosity gas under standard conditions.

Buoyancy: Acetylene is lighter than air (specific gravity ~0.91).

Material: High-strength steel or composite cylinders with acetone-absorbent filler for stabilization.

Pressure: Stored at ~250 psi (1.72 MPa) in dissolved form within cylinders.

Operating Temperature: -18°C to 38°C (0°F to 100°F) for safe storage and use.

Safety Features: Flame arrestors, pressure relief valves, and non-sparking components.

Regulatory Compliance: Meets IMO, SOLAS, and other marine safety standards.
