The ESAB 998275 Nozzle Gouging #25 is a specialized consumable from the renowned 1568 Series, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal preparation and weld removal. Unlike standard cutting tips designed to sever material completely, this gouging nozzle is geometrically optimized to direct the oxygen stream in a way that washes molten metal away from the base material, creating a clean, U-shaped groove. This capability is essential for applications such as removing defective welds, preparing plate edges for welding (J-grooves or U-grooves), and removing root passes to ensure full penetration in multi-pass welding procedures.
Manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, the 1568 Series nozzles feature high-quality copper alloy construction. This material choice is critical for maintaining thermal conductivity, which helps keep the tip cool during the intense heat of the gouging process, thereby extending the service life of the consumable. The #25 size designation indicates a specific orifice diameter tailored for medium-duty gouging tasks, balancing gas consumption with metal removal rates. This nozzle is designed to function seamlessly with compatible Oxweld torch handles, ensuring a leak-free seal and stable flame characteristics.
In MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, the efficiency of a gouging tip directly impacts project timelines. The ESAB 998275 provides a stable preheat flame that quickly brings the base metal to ignition temperature, while the cutting oxygen stream is shaped to efficiently scour the groove without causing excessive oxidation or slag buildup on the groove walls. This results in less post-gouge grinding and preparation, streamlining the workflow for subsequent welding operations.
