0558009425 - ESAB PT-36 Micro Shield Cap 2.5mm (.099") - 5 Pack

High-Performance ESAB PT-36 Micro Shield

The ESAB 0558009425 Micro Shield is a critical consumable designed specifically for the PT-36 plasma cutting torch, commonly found on ESAB's m3 Plasma Systems. This shield cap features a precise 2.5mm (0.099 inch) orifice, engineered to constrict the plasma arc for high-density, precision cutting applications. Sold in a convenient pack of 5, these shields ensure your automated cutting operations remain uninterrupted and efficient.

Using genuine ESAB consumables like this micro shield is essential for maintaining the cut quality and angularity that the PT-36 is famous for. The shield protects the inner nozzle from molten spatter and double-arcing while directing the shield gas flow to cool the nozzle and stabilize the arc. This specific 2.5mm size is optimized for specific amperage ranges and material thicknesses, providing superior edge quality on materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Industrial fabricators rely on the PT-36 for heavy-duty cycles, and the 0558009425 shield is built to withstand the intense heat and environment of mechanized plasma cutting. Regular inspection and replacement of the shield cap prevent damage to the more expensive torch head and ensure consistent cut parameters. Trust Josef Gas to supply authentic ESAB parts that meet factory specifications for tolerance and material quality.
