Bharat Metal Cutting Gas

Bharat
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.

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
