Metal Cutting
Gas
BMCG is an unique hydrocarbon
industrial gas mixed with an
innovative additive that enhances
flame temperature and produces
fine cut finish at very low cost
compared to DA.

BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS IS COMPLETELY SAFE
AND OPERATOR-FRIENDLY.
Explosive limits (flammability) % in air
BMCG ----- 2.3 – 9.5
Acetylene -- 2.5 – 80
Has lower explosive limits in air than acetylene,
therefore, BMCG is less flammable than acetylene.
BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS IS NON-TOXIC AND
HAS NO BACKFIRE.
IN CASE OF A LEAK, BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS
CAN BE DETECTED EASILY BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE
PUNGENT SMELL.
BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS IS STORED AT LOWER
PRESSURE, THEREFORE, SAFER THAN ACETYLENE.
Acetylene Cylinder
--is it Dangerous ?
•Un dissolved Acetylene Gas Can Explode
With Shock Only
•Stored Without Filter Pad
•No Fire Required
•Decomposition
•1 Gm C2H2 = 3.5 Gms of TNT

BHARAT METAL CUTTING GAS:





Bharat Metal Cutting gas is fortified with
an innovative additive which enhances
the cutting properties of the gas
Achieves flame temp. around 3000 deg C
- closer to Acetylene (3150 deg. C)
High penetration and faster cutting speed
Very effective for cutting metals of higher
thickness (40 mm & above)
Smooth cutting surface and reduction in
slag formation
Comparison in basic properties and
behaviour of DA & BMCG

LEL for BMCG = 2.5 %
LEL for DA = 2.5 %

HEL for BMCG = 9.5 %
HEL for DA = 80 %

Operating pressure for
BMCG = 0. 5 kgs/cm2

Operating pressure for DA
= 3 Kgs/cm2 (around 40
psi)

BMCG cylinder pressure =
3 to 6 kgs/cm2

DA cylinder pressure = 18
to 20 kg/cm2.

Advantages of BMCG





Is marketed in Kgs and could be measured
easily.
Less Carbon formation – hence low
maintenance and long life of nozzles.
Operator friendly.
Reduces fuel inventory.
Yields 40 % cost savings on overall
cutting cost.
Advantages of using BMCG


Virtually impossible to back fire or flash back
Flame is much less Luminous, so less harmful to
eye-sight

Less cylinder handling cost

Lower frequency for changing the cylinders

Safer as the operating pressure is lower in cylinder
Advantages of using BMCG
Faster
cutting rate as secondary flame is higher
(19080 Vs 8570 DA Kcal).

Smooth cutting surface and reduction in
slag formation.
Competitively
priced
Easy Change over from DA to BMCG
For BMCG the same torch used for DA can be used.
Only the cutting nozzle has to be changed.
3 seater torch / nozzles give better economy and lesser flash back
