World's Best LPG Additive Source
PRO 2000 FUEL GAS is a reliable
and economical fuel gas for cutting,
heating and brazing
operations.
The performance of PRO 2000 FUEL GAS is
comparable to acetylene yet
safer with a high flow rate capacity. An
added benefit to using PRO 2000 FUEL GAS comes from the material handling
standpoint. A 100 lb. cylinder of PRO 2000 FUEL GAS has a volume of 866
cu.ft. while a standard acetylene cylinder contains 350 cu.ft. Translated
into BTU's, PRO 2000 FUEL GAS has 2,261,992 per cylinder while acetylene
contains 518,000 per cylinder. Less cylinder change outs and more
productivity.
PRO 2000 FUEL GAS burns cleanly with no sooty black smoke. PRO 2000 FUEL GAS provides an extremely clean cut with virtually no slag or spatter. Little or no grinding is required after cutting with PRO 2000 FUEL GAS.
