2.5 PARTS OF OXYGEN TO 1 PART ACETYLENE
1 Part of the oxygen is consumed from the atmosphere
1.5 parts of the oxygen is consumed from the oxygen cylinder
ACETYLENE: 2100 cu. ft. X 1.5 parts oxygen = 3,150 cu. ft. oxygen consumed
CHEMTANE 2/OXYGEN MIXTURE IS:
3.4 PARTS OF OXYGEN TO 1 PART CHEMTANE 2
CHEMTANE 2: 100 lbs X 8.83 cu.ft. = 883 cu. ft.
883 cu. ft. X 3.4 parts oxygen = 3,002 cu. ft. oxygen consumed
ACETYLENE: 1.5 - 1 Part Mixture CHEMTANE 2: 3.4 - 1 Part Mixture
ACETYLENE: 2100 cu. ft. divided by 883 cu. ft.
CHEMTANE 2 = 2.37 times more acetylene than CHEMTANE 2
ACETYLENE / OXYGEN: 1.5 parts X 2.37 times more gas than CHEMTANE 2 = 3.5 parts of oxygen, total percentage volume compared to 3.4 part of oxygen total percentage volume with CHEMTANE 2.
