The Smith SC40-0 is a premium heavy-duty cutting tip engineered for industrial environments requiring precision and safety. Designed as part of the renowned SC40 Series, this Size 0 tip is optimized for use with alternate fuel gases, specifically propane and natural gas. It delivers a clean cut on steel up to 3/8 inch (10 mm) thick, making it an essential consumable for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and manufacturing facilities utilizing Smith Equipment oxy-fuel systems.
This cutting tip features a robust two-piece construction, which is standard for alternate fuel tips to ensure efficient preheating and flame stability. The SC40-0 utilizes a medium preheat setting, balancing fuel economy with the thermal output necessary to initiate cuts rapidly. A defining characteristic of Smith's engineering is the "In-Tip" gas mixing technology. Unlike traditional designs where gases mix in the torch head, this tip mixes the preheat oxygen and fuel gas within the tip itself. This significantly enhances safety by adding resistance to flashback and isolating any sustained backfire within the disposable tip, thereby protecting the expensive torch handle and the operator.
Durability and maintenance are also key focuses of the SC40-0 design. The tip end is concave, a feature that helps protect the seating surface from nicks and damage during operation or storage. Furthermore, the fully swaged smooth bore minimizes gas turbulence, allowing for faster starts and significantly reducing slag build-up. This results in less downtime for cleaning and higher productivity. The tip is fully compatible with all Smith SC and DG series hand torches, as well as specific machine cutting torches like the SC770 and SC772A.
