The Acetylene Regulator on a pressure bottle is a simple spring and diaphram pressure regulator. What makes it special is 2 things: the material it is built of to prevent the gas from contacting anything it could react to and it is designed to operate only in the correct pressure range.
It works by (it is a little more complicated but basicaly) haveing the spring and outlet pressure hold the inlet valve closed untill the pressure on the outlet side dropps below the set pressure. When it does the spring allows the valave to open. The spring tension is adjusted by a screw to increase or decrease the outlet pressure.
The lower the outlet pressure gets the flow of the gas increases. The neat part is that the increase in flow will happen over a very small pressure drop. Usually less than 20% of the set pressure.

What is the difference between an oxygen regulator and an acetylene regulator?
the threads on a acetylene bottle are anti clockwise so on oygen bottle its righty tighty on acetylene its lefty tighty
What MC mean on acetylene regulator?
MC stands for "Motorcycle", the small tanks were use for lighting on the early cycles.
Is acetylene ionic or covalent?
Acetylene is a covalent compound
The empirical formula for acetylene?
Acetylene is C2H2 so its emperical formula is C1H1.
What is the procedure for lighting and adjusting to a neutral flame?
The procedure involved is very simple: 1. check that all equipment is safe to use and is not broken in any way, if it is do not use this equipment. 2. make sure both regulator knobs are lose 3. open the acetylene control values. 4. turn the acetylene regulator adjustment knob until the desired reading 5.repet steps 3 an 4 but with oxygen. 6. open the acetylene blowpipe pipe (about half turn) 7.with a flint light, point the tip into the catchment area of the lighter. 8.adjust the acetylene blowpipe valve until a flicker of sut is coming from the flame 9. open the oxygen blowpipe valve until there is a neutral flame ( a neutral flame should have a small cone near the tip.

Can a propane regulator be used with an acetylene tank?
yes it can but apparently isn't ideal. we run acetylene regs on our propane torch.
Why must acetylene cylinders be stored upright?
Because the acetylene is stored dissolved in acetone. You don't want to get any liquid acetone up into the valve area where it can get into the regulator, as it can damage the regulator. If the tank does go on its side, be sure to set it upright and let it be for awhile before putting it in use.

What is the geometry at the carbons in the acetylene?
Acetylene has a linear molecule.
Is acetylene a proplene based fuel?
Acetylene, C2H2, is a pretty simple hydrocarbon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylene
Can internally regulator alternator work in car with external regulator?
Only if the wiring on the car is modified.
