A dissolved acetylene cylinder is a specific type of vessel made to carry and accommodate acetylene gas. Acetylene is very volatile when in its pure form and under pressure; thus, in this case, it is dissolved in acetone within the tank. A porous material, such as asbestos or one of its analogues, is also contained in the cylinder, which is soaked with acetone. Under pressure, acetylene gas stabilizes and tends to dissolve in the acetone, which greatly helps to avoid any explosive decomposition. The cylinder is made of high strength steel in order to withstand the internal pressure, and it has a valve for a controlled release of the dissolved acetylene. Dissolved acetylene cylinders find broad application in welding and cutting operations, where a dependable and safe source of acetylene is needed. However, in the case of these cylinders, a strict set of safety measures has to be obeyed for their transport, storage and even handling due to the combustive properties of acetylene.
