Erm.....I wouldnt have thought so,they're designed for totally different gas pressures etc.
Could well be dangerous or at least not work efficiently enough.
Im not an expert on regulators tho so one of the other guys should be able to give you a definate answer.

Acetylene, deffinatly not, the threads are left handed.
Oxygen, it will screw in, but you wont get a prpoper reading of the outlet volume.
Might as well buy a proper one to be honest. They are not the most expensive thing in the world.

You should only use a regulator labelled & designed for that particular gas. That's playing it by the book & if it were for use in a works premesis it would have to be that way, otherwise Health & Safety could throw the book at you. For own, personal use you can bend the rules a little! Any fuel gas regulator, ie.Acetylene, Propane definately not. They are only relatively low pressure & will not cope with argonmix pressures. The same applies to CO2 regulators on argonmixes. Oxygen is a high pressure gas so in theory, yes, you could use it on an argonmix cylinder.
Again, I stress, you should only use a regulator designed for it's purpose, so if you blow the side of your garage off it's nowt to do with me!
