BPCL BMCG

Can you tell me about the advantages of Bharat Petroleum: Metal Cutting Gas (BMCG) as offered by BPCL or Bharat Petroleum Cooperation Limited?

BPCL has thoroughly studied the needs of the industry which need metal cutting gasto cut metal and came up with Bharat Metal Cutting Gas (BMCG), an ideal substitute for Acetylene. It offers superior cutting at a low cost and is an ideal fuel for cutting and brazing applications.

Advantages of Bharat Metal Cutting Gas are:
• Superior cutting at low cost (better cutting speed, kerf formation and surface finish)
• Low oxygen consumption
• Reduces cylinder inventory by at least three times compared to Oxy Acetylene
• Low slag formation
• BMCG can easily cut 12 inch (300 mm) thick metal and even more.
• Has a lower explosive limit in air and oxygen than Acetylene. Hence has lower band of inflammability than Acetylene
• The cylinder pressure of BMCG (6-7kg/cm2) is one third of Acetylene (17-18 kg/cm2). Hence they are safe to use.
• BMCG cylinders are easier to handle due to lighter weight
• BMCG cylinders are available in a range of pack sizes (19kg, 35kg & 47.5kg) to suit specific requirement of customers.
• Awareness and education programs on safety to the end users

Major Sectors Using BMCG are:

Railways

Shipyards

Steel Plants

Power Plants

Cement Plants

Sugar Factories

Fertilizers Plants

Manufacturing Units

Heavy Engineering Companies

Refinery and Petrochemical

Textile Industries

Infrastructure & Projects Companies

Telecom

Automobile

White Goods Industry

Mining Sector

Unorganised Sectors
