FLAMAL™

Cutting Gases

The FLAMAL™ Advantage

With over 100 years of experience producing gas supply modes, Air Liquide FLAMAL™ gases are designed to optimise your processes no matter what flame process you use.

FLAMAL™ Acetylene C2H2

The original fuel gas used worldwide for over 100 years which is still regarded as the best choice for many applications. Its triple bonds release large quantities of energy when oxidised in the oxy-acetylene flame. Acetylene burns with the highest flame temperature of all the common fuel gases and produces a very concentrated heat. Acetylene must be handled with care and Air Liquide has many innovations providing safety when using acetylene:

  • ALTOP™ and MINITOP™ cylinders with integrated pressure regulators and protective covers
  • Scandina™ caps that remain in place at all times to protect against accidental valve damage*
  • Specific CGA 410 valve outlet to prevent mismatch with equipment designed for LPG fuel gases*

* Certain cylinder sizes

FLAMAL™ Oxygen O2

The companion to all fuel gases that, when combined in optimum proportions, produces the flames that do the work. Although non-flammable itself, it is the oxidiser that breaks the hydrocarbon bonds to release the potential energy they contain. In cutting, the pure oxygen jet “burns” the steel and blows the molten oxides from the kerf.

  • ALTOP™ and MINITOP™ cylinders with integrated pressure regulators and protective covers
  • SCANDINA caps that remain in place at all times to protect against accidental valve damage*
  • As volume needs increase, oxygen can be supplied in liquid gas containers (LGC) or a range of bulk storage vessels from 1,500L to 50,000L and more.

* Certain cylinder sizes
