Cutting torch settings

Thanks in advance,
Ray

Adjust for a neutral flame with the cutting valve open and have at it. Less heat for thinner work, more for thicker. Should be able to put the heat on the work, count to ten and start the cut. If not, adjust the heat to achieve this setting. If it's popping and backfiring, get a smaller tip and crank the heat up.

As has been mentioned, there is no standard size torch tip between makers, so without the make and model of your torch it is impossible to give an accurate answer to that.

A Victor acetylene cutting tip chart lists these specs for 1/4": Tip 00, Oxy 20-25, Acet 3-5, Speed 27-30 IPM. I've had good luck lately using lower settings (like these) than people generally use. A clean tip is an absolute must for a clean cut.

Best of luck, Stan

Victor says tip size '00', ox pressure at 25 psi, ac pressure at 4 psi.

oxy line pressure between 30 and 40
Acy line pressure around 5 to 7 should cut very well
