Propylene is not necessarily safer. If acetylene leaks, it will rise and in
most cases tend to disperse. Propylene, being heavier than air, will usually descend and travel to the lowest point and concentrate. If there is an ignition source, you will have a problem. You need to at least change cutting tips. Better yet, get an injector style mixer, too. Check out Harris You need to use grade T hoses, not the grade R hoses often used for acetylene. You can use acetylene regulators. You will use much more oxygen compared to acetylene because of the chemistry involved. Check you local supplier for price. |
