Why Hydrogen Based Gas Cutting System is Necessary For Your Business?
Acetylene has dominated the cutting gas industry over the past as it was the first in the market and performs better among the other metal cutting products available in the market. Though there were a number of fuels available with higher BTU Value and flame temperature, acetylene still outperforms other fuel gas. But, due to the introduction of the hydrogen-based gas cutting system, the welding & cutting equipment manufacturers have moved to the hydrogen-based fuel for cutting and welding.
Hydrogen was used widely in underwater oxy-hydrogen torches for decades. But the new hydrogen-oxygen mixture has formed as a by-product of the plasma arc technology and widely used in the welding cutting tools. The fuel is a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen and oxygen, which explodes violently when ignited. After the usage of Propane, the mixture has considerably reduced the explosion limit. Moreover, the new torch that doesn’t use propane is best at offering high-speed cutting which led to the massive adoption of hydrogen-based fuel. And the interesting fact is that it is neither a hydrocarbon nor creates hydrocarbons when ignited. This cutting fuel can cut metal up to 12 inches thick and incorporates many characteristics to become the future of metal cutting gas.
As one of the leading industrial gas distributors, we strongly recommend you to adopt the hydrogen-based gas cutting system for your business. Here’s why:
Environment Friendly
Unlike the conventional system that uses acetylene and other fossil fuels, the hydrogen is eco-friendly and emits no carbon dioxide. This is due to the chemical bonding of hydrogen and oxygen which burns the fuel at the tip of the torch, emitting fewer fumes. Without a doubt, this is the next-gen metal cutting fuel which enhances the working environment.
High-Quality Output With Low Heat Input

The principle of hydrogen gas is as similar as LPG. When compared to the thermal input of LPG, hydrogen gas input is reduced up to 60% to create high-quality products. Being said that, it also ensures high precision products with a smooth surface and sharp corners.
One of the major advantages of hydrogen gas is the effortless removal of slag. Alike any other fuel, hydrogen gas also creates slag or dross, but it requires fewer person-hours to remove it which contributes to productivity and cost reduction.
Reduction Of Running Cost
Comparing the cost of oxygen and propane for oxygen gas cutting and the cost of generating oxygen and hydrogen for hydrogen based gas cutting, it is possible to cut down the cost by approx 30%.
High Productivity
The cutting speed of hydrogen gas is 10% to 30% higher than any other metal cutting fuels. You can save the production cost to a greater extent with hydrogen cutting system. It saves your time, resource and ultimately, your productivity.
Now that you are aware of the benefits of adopting the hydrogen-based gas cutting system, you can effectively improvise your productivity and reduce your production cost. It offers many advantages not only from the environmental viewpoint but also from the viewpoint of productivity and cost management.
