Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) from Josef Gas – High-Performance Cutting Fuel for Welding, Heating, and Brazing Applications

Josef Gas supplies Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas), an advanced, high-efficiency cutting and heating fuel designed to provide faster preheating, cleaner cuts, and superior performance compared to acetylene, propane, and other Fuel Gas. Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) delivers higher BTUs per cylinder, reduced fuel consumption, and increased productivity for industrial cutting and heating operations.

Key Applications of Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas):

Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) for Cutting & Welding Applications

  • Used as a Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) in oxy-fuel cutting, delivering hotter flame temperatures and faster cutting speeds than propane.
  • Ideal for heavy-duty metal cutting, gouging, and scrapping operations, particularly in fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural applications.
  • Compatible with oxy-acetylene torches, offering safer handling and reduced risk of flashback.

Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) for Brazing & Heating Applications

  • Provides a stable, high-heat flame for brazing copper, brass, and aluminum components in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration repairs.
  • Used in preheating and post-heating metal surfaces in welding and hardening applications.
  • Offers higher combustion efficiency than propane, making it ideal for industrial heating and flame straightening.

Advantages of Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) Over Other Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas)es

  • Higher flame temperature than propane, reaching 5,300°F (2,927°C) in oxy-fuel applications.
  • More stable and safer to handle than acetylene, with reduced risk of decomposition under pressure.
  • Greater BTU output per cylinder, meaning fewer cylinder change-outs and increased productivity.

Cylinder Capacity & Fuel Efficiency

  • A 100 lb. cylinder of Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) contains 866 cubic feet, compared to 350 cubic feet in a standard acetylene cylinder.
  • Richflame-Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas) delivers 2,261,992 BTUs per cylinder, significantly more than acetylene at 518,000 BTUs per cylinder.
  • Uses less oxygen than propane, optimizing cutting and heating performance while reducing overall fuel costs.

Safe Handling & Storage

  • Not shock-sensitive, making it safer than acetylene for storage and transport.
  • Compatible with standard DOT-approved LP gas equipment, requiring no specialized handling.
  • Does not form explosive acetylides when in contact with copper or silver alloys, allowing safe distribution using copper piping.

Seamless Conversion from Other Fuel Gas (alternative to MAPP Gas)es

  • Switching from Propylene, MAPP, or Propane? No changes needed – use the same tips, torches, regulators, and hoses.
  • Switching from Acetylene? Simply replace the cutting tips, rosebud, and twin hose assembly.
  • Less maintenance and fewer torch adjustments, making it cost-effective and easy to integrate into existing setups.
