Propane Oxygen Cutting Tip — economical cutting with a wide, stable flame
A Propane Oxygen Cutting Tip from REAL GAZ is designed for the cooler, wider flame of propane burned with oxygen. Propane is cheaper per hour than acetylene and is widely available in cylinders and bulk tanks, so many yards choose it for everyday work.
The tip uses a larger preheat zone and a long inner cone to keep heat on the cut line.

Tips are specified in line with EN ISO 5172 and tested for gas tightness following ISO 9090, ready for scrap, shipyard and construction work.

🔧 Practical Cutting Notes
- Propane needs a higher oxygen ratio than acetylene, so ensure the torch injector and hoses are designed for LPG before fitting the tip;
- Allow slightly longer preheating than with acetylene, and hold the inner cone just clear of the plate surface for even heating;
- Remove loose scale and rust along the cut line for a cleaner start, especially on weathered scrap or structural steel;
- Store LPG cylinders upright, outdoors or in ventilated cages, away from oxygen cylinders and sources of ignition.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- bar stock checked on delivery;
- seat and thread gauges applied to every batch;
- flame test on sampled tips;
- clean packing without oil or grease.
Use only with propane regulators and hoses rated for LPG, and close cylinder valves after each shift.
