"Lighter gas" in the butane blowtorch?

Registrierter10ByRegistrierter10

I bought a blowtorch. The manufacturer states, " This product can only be used with butane. " Now I've bought "lighter gas," which is actually a mixture of butane, isobutane, and propane (the mixing ratio isn't specified).

As far as I've researched, the pressure of propane is about 4-5 times that of butane, since this hydrocarbon's boiling point is significantly lower. I can't find any information about the pressure of gas mixtures (highest pressure in the sense of the lowest common denominator?). Now I'm worried that my new blowtorch might not be able to withstand this (especially since it naturally heats up with use, and propane heats up more than butane), which could be dangerous.

Did the manufacturer just write this on the label for safety reasons, even though it should work in practice (the gas manufacturer had something in mind when it came to it), did they simply mean that it is not a petrol part or is this literally playing with fire and I should definitely avoid it?

The burner is this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CSSD8YMD

Hello, I have just done some research on NO2 and found out that the NO2 concentration decreases with increasing temperature when fossil fuels are burned. The NO2 content should be highest between 200-300 degrees. but why does the concentration decrease as the temperature increases?

Definition of partial pressure: Partial pressure is the pressure that can be assigned to a specific gas in a gas mixture, such as air. The partial pressure corresponds to the total pressure that the component would exert if it filled the entire volume on its own. Why then is it always said in medicine that,…

The proportion of propane in the lighter gas is low, just sufficient so that it still evaporates at 0° C. Therefore, it should work smoothly.

But: If the manufacturer Butan writes, then you have a problem in the event of an accident – even if it originally meant “no pure propane”, he will reject any liability with reference to the proportion of propane in the gas.
