0333-0364 - Victor 0-MTHN Machine Cutting Tip for Propane/Natural Gas

Technical Overview of the Victor 0-MTHN Cutting Tip

The Victor 0333-0364 is a specialized Series 1, Type MTHN cutting tip designed for industrial machine torch applications. Engineered to leverage the specific combustion characteristics of Propane and Natural Gas, this Size 0 tip features a two-piece construction that enhances preheat efficiency and cutting stability. It is specifically calibrated for cutting mild steel with a thickness range of 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, making it a vital component for automated fabrication lines requiring consistent throughput.

Operational parameters for the 0-MTHN are distinct, requiring a cutting oxygen pressure of 85 to 95 PSIG and a preheat oxygen pressure of 30 to 35 PSIG. These settings allow the tip to achieve cutting speeds ranging from 18 to 28 inches per minute, depending on the specific material composition and plate condition. The separation of the preheat and cutting oxygen paths in the two-piece design minimizes the risk of flashback and ensures a stable flame front, which is critical for the extended duty cycles typical of machine cutting operations.

This tip is compatible with high-speed cutting machines capable of handling up to 10-inch cuts (with appropriate tip sizes), though this specific Size 0 unit is optimized for the 1/2" to 3/4" range. The MTHN series represents Victor's commitment to precision gas apparatus, offering superior flow dynamics and thermal management compared to standard hand-torch tips. Users must ensure their manifold and regulator systems are capable of sustaining the required flow rates to maintain the specified pressures during operation.
