0558005025 - ESAB Oxweld 1567 Series Size 16 Machine Cutting Tip for Propane/NG

Precision Machine Cutting with ESAB 1567 Series

The ESAB 1567-16 Nozzle (SKU: 0558005025) represents the pinnacle of high-speed machine cutting technology for alternative fuels. Designed explicitly for use with Natural Gas and Propane, this nozzle leverages the legacy engineering of the Oxweld brand to deliver superior performance in automated cutting environments. The 1567 series is distinguished by its two-piece construction, featuring a heavy-duty brass inner member with splined gas passages and a durable copper outer sleeve. This configuration is essential for stabilizing the preheat flame of slower-burning fuel gases, ensuring that the flame remains anchored even at the high travel speeds required by modern fabrication lines.

The "Size 16" designation indicates a substantial cutting capacity, generally suitable for severing mild steel plates in the range of 4 inches (100mm). The nozzle utilizes a divergent bore geometry in the cutting oxygen passage. Unlike standard straight-bore tips, a divergent bore expands the oxygen stream as it exits the nozzle, accelerating the gas to supersonic velocities. This results in a narrower kerf, sharper top edges, and a significant reduction in slag accumulation at the bottom of the cut. For industrial MRO and fabrication managers, this translates to reduced post-cut machining and grinding, optimizing the overall throughput of the production line.

Compatibility is key in industrial settings, and the 1567-16 is engineered to fit standard Oxweld machine torches such as the C-32, C-66, and C-77. The chrome-plated finish on the outer sleeve not only provides resistance against radiant heat and corrosion but also minimizes the adherence of molten spatter, extending the service life of the consumable. When precision, speed, and fuel efficiency are paramount, the ESAB 1567-16 stands as the professional's choice for heavy plate processing.
