Q. |
The temperature of oxyacetylene flame is around – |
A. | 2800°C |
B. | 3200°C |
C. | 4000°C |
D. | 1500°C |
Answer» B. 3200°C | |
Explanation: Flames are formed when a fuel gas, like acetylene, reacts with a support has such as oxygen. This reaction creates a lot of heat and light, which we see as a flame. An oxygen acetylene flame can create temperatures over 3200°C. Pure oxygen, instead of air (20% oxygen/80% nitrogen), is used to increase the flame temperature to allow localized melting of the work piece material (e.g. steel) in a room environment. |
