Dear Sir
Thanks for your prompt reply and first of all sorry for a late reply...
The question - Which fuel gas (DA or LPG) is more SAFE to use for gas cutting operation and Why? - is also was a very debating one for me. I have discussed with few people with mechanical background... Get different answers... Few was telling, DA and few was saying LPG... When I put the explanations I got from your side in front of those who said DA is safe, they were seems satisfied... Thanks for giving valuable reply sir...
Now let me try to answer your question:
1. How an acetylene cylinder is constructed - Please refer attachement.
2. Why acetylene should not be laid horizontally?
To prevent loss of acetone which reduces the cylinder’s ability to hold dissolved acetylene. Hence always store and use acetylene cylinders in an upright position.
Also we must suggest to keep all gas cylinders in vertical position to avoid the passage of liquid stage gas flow to the hose pipes, which can damage the hose pipe, not only in Acetylene.
If any points mentioned is not right please make me clear.
