Acetylene, a colorless and highly flammable gas used in welding and as a fuel, does not “expire” in the traditional sense like food or medicine. However, its stability is contingent on storage conditions. Acetylene is stored in cylinders containing a porous material saturated with acetone, which stabilizes the gas under pressure. When stored properly, in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and direct sunlight, acetylene cylinders can retain their content safely for years. Yet, over time or if stored improperly, the acetone can evaporate or the cylinder can degrade, potentially leading to safety risks. Therefore, while acetylene itself doesn’t expire, its storage system does have a lifespan, and cylinders must be regularly inspected for integrity and pressure stability.
