Wirepak® Thermic Lance Tube
For Steel and Concrete Cutting
Wirepak® Thermic 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:
