A gas burner is a device to generate a Flame to heat up products using a Gas eous fuel such as Acetylene , Natural Gas or Propane . Some burners have an air inlet to mix the fuel gas with air to make a Complete Combustion . Acetylene is commonly used in combination with oxygen. It has many applications such as Soldering , Brazing and Welding , the latter using Oxygen instead of air for getting a hotter flame which is required for melting Steel . For laboratory uses a natural gas fired Bunsen Burner is used. For melting metals with melting points of up to 1100 °C such as Copper , Silver and Gold a propane burner with natural drag of air can be used.
