Abstract

The paper reviews characteristics of acetylene cylinders, technological sequence of their manufacturing and their construction characteristics. The article introduces types of steel shells for acetylene cylinders, the role and kinds of porous masses, acetylene solvents. The  application efficiency  of high porosity asbestos free monolitic masses with high filling rates is underlined. The introduced example of 40 l seamless steel acetylene vessel manufactured by «Worthington Cylinders GmbH» demonstrates the more efficient performance of its acetylene cylinders comparing to the home-made prototypes.
