220182 - Hypertherm 130A Mild Steel Nozzle for HPRXD Systems

Technical Overview: Hypertherm 220182 Nozzle

The Hypertherm 220182 Nozzle is a precision-engineered consumable designed specifically for 130 Amp mild steel cutting processes within the HyPerformance® ecosystem. Manufactured to tight tolerances, this nozzle plays a critical role in constricting the plasma arc to achieve the high energy density required for clean, fast cuts. It utilizes Hypertherm's patented Conical Flow™ technology, which aligns the arc and gas flow to ensure consistent performance throughout the life of the part.

Constructed from high-grade copper, the 220182 nozzle is built to withstand the extreme thermal stresses of 130 Amp operation. Its internal geometry is optimized to work in concert with the swirl ring, stabilizing the arc attachment point and preventing premature orifice erosion. This results in a stable arc column that produces parts with minimal bevel and virtually dross-free edges on mild steel plate.

This nozzle is fully compatible with a broad range of mechanized systems, including the HPR130XD®, HPR260XD®, HPR400XD®, and HPR800XD®. It also serves as a replacement for legacy systems such as the HPR130, HPR260, HD3070, and HD4070 when configured for 130A mild steel applications. In automated environments utilizing x-y tables or robotic arms, the reliability of the 220182 nozzle ensures predictable cycle times and reduces the frequency of consumable changeovers.

To maintain optimal cut quality, it is recommended to inspect the nozzle orifice regularly for signs of ovalization or notching. Replacing the nozzle and electrode simultaneously is a standard maintenance procedure that protects the torch head and ensures the system operates at peak efficiency.
