You\u2019re paying acetylene prices for results you shouldn\u2019t have to settle for.<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Acetylene has been the default for decades. But it\u2019s expensive per cylinder, low in volume, shock-sensitive, and incompatible with copper systems. Most shops that have switched away from it don\u2019t go back \u2014 not because of loyalty, but because the numbers and the cut quality both improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re cutting, brazing, preheating, or flame straightening carbon steel, there\u2019s a better option that works with the equipment you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s likely happening in your shop right now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Frequent cylinder changeovers pulling crews off the job<\/li>\n
  • Slag and spatter requiring post-cut grinding \u2014 adding labor time to every cut<\/li>\n
  • Slower preheat on thick or heavily rusted material<\/li>\n
  • Flashback risk with acetylene at high flow rates<\/li>\n
  • Premium fuel costs eating into job margins<\/li>\n
  • Incompatibility with copper distribution systems limiting your setup options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n

    Pro 2000-Fuel Gas: propane-based, acetylene-competitive.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Pro 2000-Fuel Gas is produced by treating propane with Pro 2000-T concentrate at a ratio of 1:1,000 gallons. The result is a cutting fuel that matches acetylene on starts and beats it on volume, safety, and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    More volume per cylinder.<\/strong> A 100 lb. cylinder of Pro 2000-Fuel Gas contains 866 cubic feet and 2,261,992 BTUs. A standard acetylene cylinder contains 350 cubic feet and 518,000 BTUs. That\u2019s roughly 5.6 times more volume \u2014 meaning far fewer changeovers and more time cutting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cleaner cuts, less grinding. <\/strong>Pro 2000-Fuel Gas produces virtually no slag or spatter. In most cases grinding after the cut is eliminated entirely \u2014 a direct reduction in labor time per job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Performs where acetylene struggles.<\/strong> Heavily rusted or mill-scaled material? Pro 2000-Fuel Gas cuts it cleanly and with a better finish than acetylene. Superior performance on material over 1.5\u201d thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Safer to handle and store. <\/strong>Not shock-sensitive. Will not form explosive acetylides on contact with copper or silver alloys \u2014 meaning copper pipe and tubing can be used throughout your distribution system. Handled, stored, and transported in standard DOT-approved LP gas equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No new equipment needed. Switching from Mapp, propylene, or propane requires no changes at all \u2014 same tips, torch, regulators, and hose. Switching from acetylene requires only new cutting tips, a rosebud, and a twin hose assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Who benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Body shops, fabrication shops, plate shops, maintenance yards, scrap cutters, container repair, shipyards, canneries, pulp and paper mills, sawmills, portable welders, hobbyists \u2014 essentially any operation running oxy-fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll run a computerized cost analysis based on your current fuel usage and cylinder consumption \u2014 specific to your shop, not a generic estimate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
