Baker's Gas and Welding Supplies, Inc. Assists Customers In Converting From Acetylene To HGX Fuel Gas

Baker's Gas and Welding, Inc. helps customers convert to HGX Fuel Gas and explains some of the advantages.

Lincoln, MI (prHWY.com) June 4, 2011 - The welding industry continues to suffer a shortage of acetylene due to the accidental explosion back in March at Carbide Industries, LLC in Louisville, Kentucky. Because Carbide Industries is the nation's largest supplier of calcium carbide, the raw material used in the generation of acetylene gas, many companies have converted to HGX Fuel Gas. Baker's Gas and Welding Supplies, Inc. has assisted companies in the conversion process and is continuing to offer free consultations and demonstrations to make the conversion as simple as possible. Customers interested in finding out more about making the conversion from acetylene can call Baker's Gas and Welding at 1-877-930-5690 for assistance.

Gary Klemz from Baker's Gas and Welding Supplies, Inc. states, "Our staff is dedicated to helping customers make the transition from acetylene to HGX Fuel Gas as easy as possible. The good news is that customers can actually benefit from converting to HGX Fuel Gas."

HGX Fuel Gas is an LPG (Propane) based fuel gas that out produces acetylene for cutting and brazing at a fraction of the cost. HGX Fuel Gas is capable of cutting travel speeds equal to acetylene while using lower quantities of oxygen than acetylene during cuts of up to 15" thick.
Another advantage is that the superior heating value allows for faster transfer to the metal resulting in faster brazing, heating and metal working operations.

Converting from acetylene to HGX Fuel Gas has many safety advantages as well. HGX Fuel Gas is resistant to flashback and backfire, it has capability of being used at higher pressures, it requires less U.V. protection, it is less sensitive to shock and it reduces workplace pollution because it produces less soot. Overall, HGX Fuel Gas has greater practical value than any other cutting fuel.
