OVERVIEW

Smith SC60-3 Heavy-Duty Propylene Cutting Tip Overview

The Smith SC60-3 is a premium heavy-duty cutting tip engineered specifically for use with propylene and propylene-based fuel gases. As a Size 3 consumable in the renowned SC60 series, this tip provides a substantial cutting capacity of up to 2 inches (51 mm), making it an essential component for industrial fabrication, scrap yards, and heavy construction environments where propylene is the preferred fuel source. The tip features a two-piece design that incorporates a medium preheat capacity, striking an ideal balance between rapid start times and fuel efficiency.

One of the standout technical characteristics of the SC60-3 is its "In-Tip" gas mixing technology. Unlike some systems that mix gases in the torch handle or head, Smith's design combines the preheat oxygen and fuel gas within the tip itself. This precision-engineered mixing method attains maximum thermal efficiency and adds a significant layer of safety by adding resistance to flashback. Furthermore, the tip is constructed with a fully swaged smooth bore. This manufacturing process ensures a laminar gas flow, which allows for faster starts and significantly minimizes slag build-up during operation, reducing post-cut cleanup time.

Durability and safety are core to the SC60-3's design. The tip end features a concave shape, a strategic design choice that serves two purposes: it helps reduce the occurrence of backfire and resists flameout, and it physically protects the tip seat from nicking if the torch is dropped or handled roughly. This extends the operational life of the consumable. This tip is highly versatile regarding compatibility, fitting a wide range of Smith equipment including DG200 and SC200 series cutting attachments, all Smith SC and DG series hand torches, and Smith 3-hose machine cutting torches.

FAQ

The SC60-3 is designed specifically for use with Propylene or propylene-based fuel gases.

This Size 3 tip has a cutting capacity of up to 2 inches (51 mm) of steel.

It fits Smith DG200 and SC200 series attachments, all SC and DG series hand torches, and Smith 3-hose machine torches. It does not fit the smaller Smith Little Torch or medium-duty series that require different seat styles.

The concave shape protects the tip seat from damage if dropped and helps reduce backfire and resist flameout.

It is a two-piece cutting tip, which is the standard design for propylene and alternative fuel gases to allow for proper preheat.

It means the preheat oxygen and fuel gas are mixed inside the tip itself rather than in the torch head, which improves efficiency and safety.

No, the SC60 series is for propylene. You must use the SC12 series or equivalent tips designed specifically for Acetylene.

The SC60-3 provides a medium preheat, suitable for general purpose cutting.
