It is appears my acetylene is on the low side. I know you cannot use it all up. When should I stop and exchange cylinders? What would be the gauge reading?
Thanks,

if my memory serves me, even when the gage sez zero, there is still a bit left.
if i have a job to do, i will get mine filled when it gets close to zero, why wait and run out in the middle of something ?

I think around 100psi is where you should change it.

I would change it at double your regulated pressure setting, ie if you are flowing 8 psi change it out at 16. For industrial purposes I would change at 50.

A full cylinder is measured at 70'F depending on the temp when you last used it/or attempted to use it. It may have more in it then it reads.

Been there, probably broke it, doing that!

Change out when you get close to 50 PSI..

50 PSI sounds like a good number. Thanks to all.
