VICTOR Cutting Tips

Cutting Tips

Gas welding equipment, such as gas welding torches or gas cutting torches, use oxygen and fuel gases like propane, propylene, acetylene & natural gas for welding, heating & cutting metallic workpieces. These welding equipment are available in variants having cutting, brazing, soldering & heat shrink attachments for performing numerous operations.
Victor Thermal Dynamics, an ESAB brand manufactures cutting, gas control and speciality welding tools for diverse applications in automotive, manufacturing, oil & gas and fabrication industries.
Victor Thermal Dynamics gas welding & cutting tips are attached to welding, heating or cutting torches that are powered using gas welding equipment.
Victor cutting tips are used to generate highly focused neutral flame for cutting or gouging metal workpieces precisely. They have a smooth tip surface for optimum heat transfer and reduced spattering. These Victor cutting tip outlets generally feature orifice-like design having separate outer & inner gas outlets. These Victor cutting tips have straight / angled heads and short / long tips for cutting workpieces at diverse angles and distances. Selected models of these Victor cutting tips have specialised orifice design variants for heavy-duty preheating, removing welds and other applications. These Victor cutting tips are available in variants compatible with acetylene, propylene and propane / natural gas.

Uses

Victor cutting tips are ideal for cutting metal & metal alloy workpieces when attached to gas cutting torches or gas cutting outfits. These Victor cutting tips are used for fabrication, construction and repair & maintenance applications in railroads, shipyards, farms and automobile shops.

Working Mechanism

• After attaching an appropriately sized Victor cutting tip to torch handle / cutting attachment in gas cutting outfits, connect the assembled cutting torch to the hose lines & gas cylinders.
• Open the gas cylinder valves & control the pressure of fuel gas & oxygen using their respective regulators, according to the guidelines in the instruction manual.
• Open the gas knobs on the cutting torch to start supplying a mix of fuel gas & oxygen through the outer orifice of Victor cutting tips. Use a striker or lighter to start a fire. Control the gas knobs to bring the flame to a neutral setting / condition.
• Bring the torch assembly near the metal workpiece and start pre-heating the metal near its edges.
• After a certain time, the heated edge starts melting. Press the cutting oxygen lever on the torch assembly to provide a high-pressure oxygen blast through the central orifice of Victor cutting tips. Doing so will remove the melted materials and cut the metal workpiece.
• After cutting the metal workpieces, the fuel gas & oxygen valves on gas cylinders must be closed. Any gas mixture left in the torch assembly must be purged before closing the gas knobs & subsequent disassembly. The cut metal pieces can be sanded for smooth edges / surfaces.
