17/10 Wirepak Oxygen Lance
DESCRIPTION:
Wirepak Oxygen Lance tube provides a simple and cheap method of achieving extremely high flame temperatures capable of melting even refractory material, ingots, moulds etc. The basic reaction which takes place between iron and oxygen is :
3Fe+20 2 =FE3O4+265 kcal.
The energy is released as heat at a temperature above 4 000° C.
Wirepak Thermic Lance tube is available in the following sizes:
| Nominal Bore Metric | Nominal Bore Imperial | Mass / meter Kg/m | Number of 2.8mm Wires | Standard length in Metres |
| 10 mm | 3/8 | 1.44 | 13 | 2.0; 3.0 and 4.0 |
| l5 mm | ½ | 2.05 | 22 | 3.2 – 4.0 |
| 20 mm | ¾ | 3.13 | 39 | 3.2 – 4.2 |
