AGAS CUTTING GAS

AGAS Cutting Gas, Sharjah, UAE owns and operates a Metal Cutting Gas Plant in technical collaboration with M/S Bharat Petroleum Corporation India (Government of India Organization).

The relevant details of this innovative product are as below:

Traditionally, cutting of metal has been done using Oxy-Acetylene mixture
Acetylene is expensive and has availability constraints
BPCL after years of in-house research work has developed a new solution - Bharat Metal Cutting Gas (BMCG); an ideal substitute for Acetylene.
BMCG offers superior cutting at a low cost
Ideal for metal cutting and brazing applications
BMCG consumes less fuel and oxygen compared to Acetylene
A huge success in India immediately on launch
A preferred choice in Steel / Engineering / Mining Industries, Ship yards and Railways
Accredited by leading agencies like Welding Research Institute, Research Design Organization and Naval Materials Research Laboratory etc.
Offers unmatched economy – 30-40% cheaper on overall cutting cost as compared to Acetylene Superior cutting at low cost
Cuts metals of higher thickness effectively- Can easily cut 12" thick metal and even more Good cutting speed
Smooth cutting surface
Clean and narrow Kerfs
Low slag formation
Achieves high flame temp. of around 3000°C
High penetration
No sooty flame
Low oxygen consumption
Operational friendly and safer than Acetylene
Reduces cylinder inventory by 3 times
Has lower explosive limits in air and oxygen than Acetylene
BMCG cylinders are easier to handle due to lighter weight
Low handling and maintenance cost per cylinder
Low possibility of backfire or flashback Cylinder pressure (6-7 kg/cm2) is one third of Acetylene (17-18kg/cm2)
Low switch over cost from Acetylene to BMC
BMCG cylinders can be made available in a range of pack sizes
