0330-0547 - Victor Size 10 HDNL Propane Cutting Tip for 18-Inch Steel

Victor 0330-0547 10-HDNL Heavy Duty Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor 0330-0547 10-HDNL Heavy Duty Cutting Tip is a specialized industrial component designed for extreme cutting applications. Part of the renowned Victor HDNL series, this tip is engineered to handle material thicknesses that far exceed standard fabrication requirements. With a cutting capacity of up to 18 inches (457mm), the 10-HDNL is an essential tool for heavy industry, demolition, and large-scale infrastructure projects where deep severance of ferrous metals is required. The tip utilizes a one-piece construction, a hallmark of Victor's design philosophy for specific fuel gases, ensuring robust performance and longevity even under the high-heat conditions generated during prolonged heavy cutting.

Optimized for alternative fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas, this tip allows operators to leverage the cost benefits and availability of these gases without sacrificing the ability to cut massive sections of steel. The internal geometry of the Size 10 tip is precision-machined to maintain a stable preheat flame and a powerful cutting oxygen stream. The specification requires a cutting oxygen pressure between 60 and 100 PSIG, providing the kinetic energy necessary to blow slag through 18-inch plates or castings. Fuel pressure requirements are versatile, accommodating ranges from 5-15 PSIG for standard setups and up to 35-104 PSIG for high-pressure supply systems, offering flexibility in various industrial environments.

The HDNL series is specifically categorized for use with hand torches, providing manual operators with the capability to perform cuts that are typically reserved for machine torches. This flexibility is vital in field applications such as scrap yards, shipbreaking, and structural steel demolition where automated machinery cannot be deployed. The 0330-0547 model represents the upper echelon of manual cutting capacity, requiring appropriate gas volume supply and regulator capacity to function at peak efficiency. Users must ensure their gas manifold or cylinder setup can sustain the flow rates demanded by a Size 10 orifice to prevent starvation and ensure a clean, continuous cut through thick workpieces.

In summary, the Victor 10-HDNL is a high-performance consumable built for the most demanding tasks. Its compatibility with widely available Propane and Natural Gas makes it a strategic choice for operations looking to maximize efficiency while maintaining the raw power needed to process heavy gauge metals. The 0330-0547 SKU stands as a testament to Victor's legacy in providing reliable, heavy-duty oxy-fuel solutions.
