as 1200 psig (8.0 MPag) can be tolerated without decomposition.
However, experience indicates that pressures of the magnitude of 300 psig
(2.0 MPag) are more reliable as a safe limit for operating equipment.
Piping that contains pure acetylene should not be hot tapped.
The limiting pressure for decomposition depends on the temperature of
the acetylene. However, with temperatures experienced during welding,
