Acetylene has a reactivity level of 3, indicating it may detonate from a shock or heat. Due to acetylene's fast burning reaction rate, it is not possible to safely vent explosive pressures from an enclosure. Premature ignition of acetylene is very possible because of its ease of ignition.

Reactivity 3 indicates that a shock or heat may detonate
Because of the very fast reaction rate of burning acetylene, it is not generally possible to design an enclosure to safely vent the explosive pressures. Furthermore, because of the ease of ignition of acetylene, premature ignition is very possible.
