The ESAB 19682 Nozzle 30 Amp is a critical consumable component designed specifically for the PT-31 and PT-31XL plasma cutting torches. In the plasma cutting process, the nozzle plays a vital role in constricting the plasma arc and focusing the gas flow, which directly determines the energy density and the quality of the cut. This 30-amp version is engineered to handle the thermal loads associated with light-to-medium duty cutting applications, commonly found in the ESAB HandyPlasma series machines.
Manufactured from high-grade copper, this nozzle offers excellent thermal conductivity, allowing it to dissipate heat effectively during operation. This helps prolong the lifespan of the consumable and prevents premature melting or deformation of the orifice. A precisely machined orifice ensures that the plasma stream remains tight and focused, resulting in a narrower kerf, less dross buildup, and a cleaner edge on the workpiece. When the orifice becomes worn or out-of-round, cut quality degrades significantly; replacing the nozzle with a genuine or high-quality equivalent like the 19682 restores the machine's performance.
This nozzle is compatible with a range of older ESAB power sources that utilize the PT-31 torch platform, including the HandyPlasma 250, 380, 550, and the PCM-500i. It is designed for drag cutting or standoff cutting depending on the specific torch setup and operator technique. Regular inspection of the nozzle orifice is recommended to maintain optimal cutting speeds and precision.
