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.

∙ 12y agoThe 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).

∙ 14y agoabout 1350°C (blue flame), but it depends on your model.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the flow rate (for lighters, Bunsen burners etc.) or surface area and concentration of the gas (for uncontained or uncontrolled combustion.)

What is butane at room temperature?
Butane is a gas at room temperature
Is butane found as a solid liquid or gas?
Butane boils at -1C and melts at -140C. Therefore, at -4C it is a liquid.
Why does the liquid in a butane lighter become gas after being released?
It's the pressure in the lighter that keeps the butane liquid. When released into the atmosphere, under room pressure and temperature, returns to it's state of gas.
Can you use butane on bbq designed for propane?
No!!!!!!!!Added:Don't change!!Both pressure and ideal mixture with air are totally different, so one 'propane'-specific burner can't burn butane properly.
What might happen to your butane gas heater when you were caravan in a cold country and there was a sharp frost at night?
Butane is a gas at normal temperature but under cold conditions it may freeze to a liquid which causes choking, and flow of gas may reduce or totally stopped.
What is butane at room temperature?
Butane is a gas at room temperature
Is butane a gas at room temperature?
Butane is a gas at rtp (room temperature and pressure)
When butane reacts with oxygen the temperature of the surronding area does what?
The temperature, of course increase.
What type of matter that is in gas state but is a liquid at room temperature?
butane
Is butane found as a solid liquid or gas?
Butane boils at -1C and melts at -140C. Therefore, at -4C it is a liquid.
Will something happen butane gas?
What is the question about - butane gas what - to butane gas if .... Ask a sensible question if you want a sensible answer.
Why does the liquid in a butane lighter become gas after being released?
It's the pressure in the lighter that keeps the butane liquid. When released into the atmosphere, under room pressure and temperature, returns to it's state of gas.
Is butane gas compressible or non compressible?
Butane gas IS compressible.
Is butane a liquid fossil fuel?
Butane is a hydrocarbon compound found in natural gas and crude oil. Both natural gas and crude oil are fossil fuels. At sufficient pressure and low temperature, it can be a liquid. So in answer to your question, butane is compound that comes from a fossil fuel, and can be both a liquid and a gas depending on the pressure and temperature. Natural gas is mostly methane and ethane, with small amounts of butane and propane, so it is usually stored as a gas phase. Crude oil has many hydrocarbon compounds heavier than butane, so it remains a liquid. See related link.
Can you use butane on bbq designed for propane?
No!!!!!!!!Added:Don't change!!Both pressure and ideal mixture with air are totally different, so one 'propane'-specific burner can't burn butane properly.
Is butane malleable?
Butane is a gas. Gases are not malleable.
What is the name of the gas that you use in your oven?
It is either Natural Gas that comes into the house through pipes. Propane and Butane comes in tanks. Gas ovens burn what is usually called natural gas; chemists know this as methane, or CH4. In areas where natural gas pipeline service is not available (or in RV's), then propane or butane is used.
