What is Oxy Fuel Gas Used For?

Oxy fuel gas — the combination of oxygen and a fuel gas, most commonly acetylene — is one of the most versatile gas mixes used across UK industry. Typical applications include:

  • Oxy/acetylene cutting — slicing through ferrous metals up to 300mm thick, the fastest manual method for thick plate steel
  • Brazing — joining dissimilar metals such as copper, brass and steel at lower temperatures than welding, common in HVAC, plumbing and refrigeration work
  • Heating and preheating — pipe thawing, hot work, and preheating thick sections before welding to prevent cracking
  • Gas welding — traditional method for joining mild steel sheet, automotive bodywork repair, and tinsmithing
  • Hardfacing — depositing wear-resistant alloys onto cutting edges and machinery components
  • Flame cleaning — removing rust, mill scale and old paint from steelwork before recoating

We supply oxygen and acetylene cylinders as matched pairs, alongside regulators, hoses, flashback arrestors and cutting/welding torches for a complete setup. UK-wide delivery from our Kent depot with same-week dispatch on most orders, plus a national stockist network for collection.
