We have a variety of standard torch designs to suit virtually all applications.

A torch basically consists of a mixture tube through which a conductor rod passes. A burner head is screwed into one end of the mixer tube, and the various electrical and mechanical connections are made to the other end.

The mixture tube and conductor rod are made from either mild steel or stainless steel (304L grade) and can be manufactured to virtually any length from 150mm to +15m. We can produce torches suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, which incorporate our SA90 and SA101 encapsulated coils.

All torches are given a code such as ‘J170PE’. In this case, J170 indicates the size of the mixture tube and PE indicates the torch format (see below). All other torches have a similar code.

Torch Size

We manufacture torches in five basic sizes.

As a general rule, the larger the tube diameter, the greater the heat released from the torch. The exact heat release for any torch will depend on other factors such as fuel gas type and pressure and torch format; premix or inspirated.

Format

We manufacture torches in several formats to suit many applications and the basic formats are as follows:
