CSMTHP0 - Victor CutSkill MTH-P-0 Propane/Propylene Cutting Tip Size 0

Technical Overview of the Victor CutSkill MTH-P-0

The Victor CutSkill CSMTHP0, also identified as the MTH-P-0, is a specialized cutting tip engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications utilizing alternative fuels. Specifically designed for use with Propane and Propylene, this tip belongs to the MTHP series, known for its robust performance in both hand and machine cutting operations. The tip features a Size 0 orifice, calibrated to deliver a precise preheat and cutting oxygen stream capable of severing mild steel with a material thickness of approximately 3/8 inch (10mm).

Technically, the MTH-P-0 utilizes a two-piece design characteristic of alternative fuel tips, where the separation of the preheat fuel and oxygen occurs to maximize flame stability and prevent flashback, which is critical when dealing with the slower burn velocities of propane compared to acetylene. The tip is rated as Type 1, indicating its standard configuration for general purpose cutting. It is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure a consistent flame cone and efficient gas consumption.

Compatibility is a key feature of the CSMTHP0. It is designed to interface seamlessly with a broad spectrum of Victor industrial torch handles and cutting attachments. Verified compatible units include the heavy-duty 315FC and H315FC torch handles, as well as the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree) cutting attachments. Furthermore, it supports straight torches such as the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and HC1200C. For automated or semi-automated processes, this tip is also suitable for use with MT200 and MT300 machine torches, making it a versatile component for mixed-use fabrication shops.

Operators should ensure that the gas supply pressures are adjusted according to the manufacturer's charts for a Size 0 tip to maintain the optimal cutting range of 3/8 inch. The use of propylene or propane requires specific attention to the oxygen-to-fuel ratio to achieve the neutral preheat flame necessary for rapid ignition and clean cuts. The Victor CutSkill series represents a balance of professional-grade quality and economic value, ensuring that MRO operations can maintain high throughput with reliable consumables.
