0558006030 - ESAB PT-36 3.0mm Plasma Nozzle Pack

Precision Engineering for Mechanized Plasma Cutting

The ESAB 0558006030 Nozzle is a high-performance consumable engineered specifically for the PT-36 mechanized plasma torch, commonly found on ESAB's advanced m3 Plasma systems. This nozzle features a substantial 3.0mm (0.120 inch) orifice, designed to handle high-amperage arcs required for severing and precision-cutting thick metal plates. In the physics of plasma cutting, the nozzle plays a pivotal role in constricting the plasma arc, focusing the energy density to melt and eject material efficiently. The geometry of this 3.0mm bore is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring concentricity with the electrode. This alignment is critical for maintaining a straight cut kerf and preventing angular deviation, which is often a symptom of inferior or worn consumables.

Constructed from high-grade tellurium copper or similar conductive alloys, this nozzle excels in thermal management. The PT-36 torch system operates in demanding industrial environments where heat buildup can rapidly degrade consumable life. The material composition of the 0558006030 nozzle facilitates rapid heat transfer away from the orifice edge, delaying the onset of keyholing—a deformation of the nozzle bore that leads to poor cut quality. By maintaining the structural integrity of the orifice for longer durations, this OEM part reduces the frequency of consumable changes, thereby increasing the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) of the cutting table.

This product is supplied as a pack of five, reflecting the standard maintenance cycles of high-volume fabrication shops. Integrating genuine ESAB consumables into your inventory management ensures that your PT-36 torch operates within its specified parameters. Using the correct nozzle size for the programmed amperage and material thickness is non-negotiable for achieving ISO 9013 range cut quality. The 3.0mm nozzle is typically utilized in the upper amperage ranges of the power source, making it a staple for heavy fabrication sectors including shipbuilding, structural steel, and yellow goods manufacturing.
