998741 - Oxweld 1566HS Size 14 High-Speed Acetylene Machine Cutting Tip

High-Performance Machine Cutting with Oxweld 1566HS

The Oxweld 1566HS Size 14 Cutting Tip is a premium consumable engineered for industrial machine cutting applications. Manufactured by ESAB under the renowned Oxweld brand, this nozzle is part of the 1566HS series, which is specifically designed to maximize cutting speeds without compromising cut quality. The 'HS' designation stands for High Speed, referring to the tip's divergent bore geometry that accelerates the cutting oxygen stream, allowing for faster travel speeds across the workpiece compared to standard straight-bore tips.

This specific model, Size 14, is calibrated for cutting mild steel with a thickness of approximately 3 inches. It is strictly for use with Acetylene fuel gas, leveraging the high flame temperature and heat transfer properties of acetylene to ensure rapid preheating and efficient piercing. The internal configuration of the tip ensures a stable preheat flame that remains consistent even at higher pressures and travel rates, which is critical for automated machine cutting where consistency is paramount.

Durability is a key feature of the 1566HS series. The tip features a robust chrome-plated finish. This plating serves a dual purpose: it protects the copper core from radiant heat and oxidation, and significantly reduces the adhesion of molten spatter. By preventing spatter buildup, the tip requires less frequent cleaning, thereby reducing downtime and maintaining a clean orifice for optimal gas flow. This nozzle is compatible with standard Oxweld machine torches, such as the C-32 and C-67 series, making it a seamless replacement for existing setups requiring high-efficiency acetylene cutting.
