Fuel Gases - Flame Temperatures
Adiabatic flame temperatures for common fuel gases - propane, butane, acetylene and more - in air or oxygen atmospheres.
Flame temperatures for some commonly used fuel gases:
| Gas | Combustion with Oxygen (oC) | Combustion with Air (oC) |
|---|---|---|
| Acetylene | 3480 | 2500 |
| Butane | 1970 | |
| Carbon Monoxide | 2121 | |
| Ethane | 1955 | |
| Hydrogen | 3200 | 2210 |
| MAPP1) | 2927 | 2010 |
| Methane | 1950 | |
| Natural Gas | 1960 | |
| Propane | 2526 | 1967 |
| Propane Butane Mix | 1970 |
Note! Initial gas, air and oxygen temperature at 20 oC. Stoichiometric Combustion - no excess air/oxygen.
1) MAPP gas is a mixture of various hydrocarbons, principally, methyl acetylene and propadiene.
