What temperature does butane gas burn?

Answer 1

Butane burns with air at 1970 degrees Celsius. Propane burns with air at 1980 decrees Celsius. Burning with an oxygen mix increases the temperature of a propane flame to 2820 degrees Celsius. However, keep in mind that if you are brazing/soldering, the object you are heating dissipates heat. Therefore, the temperature you can heat the object will be significantly less.

Answer 2

The maximum adiabatic flame temperature a propane torch can achieve with air is 2268 kelvins (3623 °F / 1995 °C). The maximum adiabatic flame temperature a butane torch can achieve with air is 2243 kelvin (3578 °F / 1970 °C).

There is more to it than simply the temperature of the flame. The object being heated dissipates heat which lowers its temperature. In real terms, the torch is just capable of melting brazing rod (above 800 °F / 427 °C) and may melt copper (1984.32 °F / 1084.62 °C).

This can be improved if the gas is burned with oxygen. Some propane torches are also used with a tank of pure oxygen to achieve a flame temperature nearing 3095 kelvins (5110 °F / 2820 °C).

Answer 3

Butane gas burns at a temperature of around 1,980 degrees Celsius (3,600 degrees Fahrenheit) in a controlled environment with sufficient oxygen supply.

Answer 4

about 1350°C (blue flame), but it depends on your model.

Answer 5

It depends on the flow rate (for lighters, Bunsen burners etc.) or surface area and concentration of the gas (for uncontained or uncontrolled combustion.)

Answer 6

butane is a liquid. It is burning in its boiling pint.

Answer 7

450-500f
