oxy-fuel welding and cutting

Cylinders (oxy-fuel welding and cutting, breathing, soda fountain)

Oxygen is also stored and shipped in smaller cylinders containing the compressed gas; a form that is useful in certain portable medical applications and oxy-fuel welding and cutting.

Due to competition from the acetylene-fueled cutting torch and from arc welding, the oxyhydrogen torch is seldom used today, but it remains the preferred cutting tool in some niche applications-see oxy-fuel welding and cutting.
