33036 - ESAB 33036 Gas Orifice 80 SCFH for PCC-90D/91

Precision Gas Control for Industrial Plasma Systems

The ESAB 33036 Orifice is a critical component designed specifically for the gas control logic of PCC-90D and PCC-91 plasma cutting consoles. In high-precision plasma cutting, the regulation of gas flow is paramount to achieving a stable arc, proper cooling of the torch consumables, and a clean cut face. This specific orifice is calibrated to deliver a flow rate of 80 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour), a specification necessary for the optimal operation of the plasma system during specific cutting modes or gas selections.

Manufactured to the exacting standards of ESAB (formerly L-TEC), this orifice ensures that the gas dynamics within the console match the factory engineering requirements. An incorrect or worn orifice can lead to flow rate deviations, resulting in turbulence within the plasma stream, reduced consumable life, or even failure of the torch to ignite or maintain an arc. The 33036 is precision-drilled and tested to ensure it provides exactly the resistance required to meter the gas supply down to the 80 SCFH set point under standard operating pressures.

Industrial maintenance teams responsible for the upkeep of legacy PCC-90D and PCC-91 systems understand that small components like orifices play a massive role in overall system reliability. Over time, orifices can become partially occluded by contaminants in the gas supply or eroded by high-velocity gas flow. Replacing the orifice with a genuine ESAB 33036 restores the system's pneumatic balance. This part is essential for shops looking to maintain the high-duty cycle and cut quality that these robust plasma consoles are known for.

Whether you are troubleshooting a flow error code, addressing poor cut quality, or performing a comprehensive overhaul of your plasma gas console, the ESAB 33036 Orifice is the correct OEM specification part. It integrates seamlessly into the existing gas manifold assembly, ensuring leak-free operation and consistent performance across the lifespan of the consumables.
