0333-0206 - Victor Size 4 BTN Series Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip

Technical Overview of the Victor 4-BTN Cutting Tip

The Victor 0333-0206 is a Series 1 BTN, Size 4 cutting tip engineered for precision and durability in industrial environments. Designed specifically for use with Propane and Natural Gas, this two-piece tip separates the preheat and cutting gas paths to optimize flame stability and thermal efficiency. It is rated for cutting mild steel and specialized alloys such as HSLA, T1, and HY-80, with a material thickness capacity ranging from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches.

Operational parameters are critical for achieving the rated performance of this consumable. The manufacturer specifies a cutting oxygen pressure range of 60 to 75 PSIG and a preheat oxygen pressure of 30 to 35 PSIG. Fuel gas pressure should be maintained between 8 and 10 PSIG to ensure a consistent flame profile. When set correctly, operators can expect cutting speeds between 5 and 18 inches per minute, depending on the specific thickness of the workpiece. The heavy preheat characteristic of the BTN series makes it particularly suitable for bevel cutting, where maintaining edge temperature is vital for a clean cut.

This tip features a standard Victor-style seat, ensuring compatibility with appropriate torch handles and machine torches designed for two-piece alternative fuel tips. The separation of the outer shell and inner member allows for easier cleaning of the splines, extending the service life of the tip in dirty or high-spatter environments. Industrial MROs should note that this tip is not suitable for acetylene gas; utilizing the correct fuel source is mandatory for safety and performance.
