ST610 - Smith ST610 Heavy Duty Multi-Flame Acetylene Heating Tip

Smith Equipment ST610 Heavy Duty Acetylene Heating Tip

The Smith Equipment ST610 is a high-performance, multi-flame heating tip designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring substantial heat input. Engineered for use with acetylene gas, this tip delivers an impressive average output of 194,890 BTU per hour, making it an essential tool for professionals involved in large-scale metal fabrication, shipyards, and structural steel work. The tip features a 12-flame configuration (drill size 54) that concentrates heat effectively, allowing for rapid temperature elevation of the workpiece.

With an overall length of 19 inches, the ST610 provides the operator with necessary reach and distance from the intense radiant heat generated during operation. It is specifically compatible with Smith torch handles WH200, SW1A, and SW1B. Common applications include heat treating, heavy bending and straightening, priming, shrinking, and forming of thick metal sections. The ability to deliver large volumes of concentrated heat quickly translates to significant efficiency gains in pre-heating and brazing operations.

Safety Warning: Due to the high volume of gas required to sustain 194,890 BTU/hr, special attention must be paid to gas supply. Acetylene must not be withdrawn at a rate exceeding 1/7th of the cylinder capacity. Consequently, a single standard cylinder is insufficient for this tip. Manifolding of at least three (3) fuel cylinders is required to ensure safe and efficient operation and to prevent solvent withdrawal from the cylinders. High-flow flashback arrestors are also mandatory.

• High Output: Delivers nearly 195,000 BTU/hr for the most demanding heating tasks.
• Compatibility: Fits standard heavy-duty Smith handles (WH200, SW1A, SW1B).
• Construction: Durable design withstands the rigors of heavy industrial environments.
