ZTIP1064 - Koike 106 Series Propane Cutting Tip, Size 4, 2-Inch Capacity

Precision Engineered Koike 106 Series Propane Cutting Tip

The Koike 106-4 Standard Propane Cutting Tip represents the pinnacle of gas cutting technology for industrial applications utilizing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Engineered by Koike Aronson, a world leader in cutting machine and consumable technology, this Size 4 tip is specifically calibrated for processing steel plates with a thickness of 2 inches (51mm). The 106 Series is renowned for its rigorous manufacturing criteria, which prioritizes the creation of a consistently even cutting surface, minimal kerf width, and the substantial reduction of top and bottom slag.

Technically, the 106-4 utilizes a 2-piece design, a configuration essential for optimizing the combustion characteristics of propane. Unlike acetylene tips, propane requires a specific mixing turbulence to establish a stable, high-temperature preheat flame. Koike's design achieves this through a precision-machined inner brass member and a chrome-plated outer shell. This construction not only ensures a uniform preheat flame but also protects the tip from heat adherence and spatter, significantly extending the consumable's service life.

Operational efficiency is a key specification of the KOI106-4. It is rated for an Oxygen pressure of 45 PSIG and a Fuel pressure of approximately 4.3 PSIG. Adhering to these parameters ensures the cutting oxygen stream maintains laminar flow, delivering a sharp, square edge on the workpiece. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with genuine Koike 100 Series torches, these tips are part of a system designed to minimize the risk of flashbacks, enhancing operator safety during high-output fabrication tasks. Each tip undergoes strict quality assurance testing, including firing and cycling tests, to guarantee form, fit, and function meet the highest industrial standards.
