0330-0505 - Victor Size 8 HDN Heavy-Duty Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip

Technical Overview of the Victor 0330-0505 Type HDN Cutting Tip

The Victor 0330-0505 is a specialized Type HDN cutting tip, Size 8, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of heavy industrial environments such as steel mills and foundries. Unlike standard general-purpose cutting tips, the HDN series is designed to withstand the intense heat and rigorous duty cycles associated with continuous production and processing of heavy metal sections. This specific model is calibrated for use with alternative fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas, making it an essential component for facilities that utilize these gases for their cutting operations.

In industrial gas apparatus, the geometry of the cutting tip is critical to performance. The Type HDN tip features internal flow paths optimized for the combustion characteristics of propane and natural gas, which differ significantly from acetylene. This ensures a stable preheat flame and a powerful cutting oxygen stream capable of penetrating thick steel efficiently. The Size 8 classification indicates a large orifice diameter, suitable for severing heavy plates, risers, and structural components typically found in foundry casting removal and mill scrap processing.

Manufactured in Mexico to Victor's exacting specifications, this tip offers reliability and consistency. The construction materials are selected to resist the adherence of spatter and slag, a common issue in foundry work. By maintaining a clean tip face, the operator can ensure a consistent cut quality and reduce the frequency of tip cleaning or replacement. The 0330-0505 integrates seamlessly with compatible Victor heavy-duty torches, providing a leak-proof seal and optimal gas mixing for safety and efficiency. For procurement specialists and facility managers, selecting the genuine Victor HDN series ensures compatibility with existing equipment and adherence to safety standards required in high-hazard mill environments.

This product is sold individually and is identified by the internal SKU VIC0330-0505. It represents a targeted solution for heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting where propane or natural gas is the preferred fuel source.
