High-Performance Machine Cutting with ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-10

The ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-10 Cutting Nozzle (0558005092) is a premium consumable designed for industrial machine cutting applications requiring speed, precision, and durability. Part of the renowned Oxweld 1566HS series, this nozzle is engineered specifically for use with alternative fuel gases such as MAPP, Propylene, and Natural Gas (FG-2). It features a sophisticated two-piece construction that optimizes the preheat flame stability and cutting oxygen velocity, making it an essential component for high-volume fabrication environments.

The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating the nozzle's ability to maintain a stable, high-velocity cutting stream that slices through heavy steel plate more efficiently than standard general-purpose tips. The internal geometry includes a divergent bore that accelerates the cutting oxygen to supersonic speeds, resulting in narrower kerfs, cleaner faces, and reduced slag accumulation. This specific model, Size 10, is calibrated for heavy-duty cutting, capable of handling thick steel sections (typically in the 6-inch to 9-inch range depending on gas pressure and machine setup).

Durability is a key focus of the 1566HS design. The outer shell is heavily chrome-plated, a feature that serves two critical functions: it reflects radiant heat from the workpiece to keep the tip cooler, and it prevents molten spatter from adhering to the nozzle surface. This significantly reduces downtime associated with tip cleaning and extends the overall service life of the consumable. The inner member is precision-machined from brass with splines that ensure uniform gas distribution for an even preheat ring.

This nozzle is compatible with industry-standard Oxweld machine torches, including the C-32, C-66, C-67, and C-77 models. It is not designed for use with Acetylene. For facilities transitioning away from Acetylene to safer or more economical alternative fuels, the 1566HS series provides the thermal efficiency and cutting performance needed to maintain high production rates without sacrificing cut quality.
