Acetylene is a colorless, flammable gas, with a garlic-like odor. Its combustion in pure oxygen produces the highest achievable flame temperature, over 3300°C, releasing 11,800 J/g, allowing it to be used in welding, cutting, brazing, and soldering metals. The oxy-acetylene torch can be used to repair ships underwater, to construct bridges, pipelines, dams, tunnels, buildings and to reinforce concrete.
