The ESAB 54N16 is a high-performance gas lens alumina nozzle designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional TIG welding. Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers exceptional resistance to thermal shock and high temperatures, ensuring longevity even during prolonged welding sessions at higher amperages. It is precision-engineered to fit standard gas lens collet bodies found in WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 series TIG torches, making it a versatile addition to any welder's consumable inventory.
This specific nozzle features a #6 orifice, which corresponds to a 3/8-inch (9.5mm) diameter. The use of a gas lens setup, for which this nozzle is designed, significantly improves the quality of the shielding gas envelope around the weld pool. By smoothing out the turbulence often associated with standard collet bodies, the 54N16 allows for a more stable arc and reduced risk of atmospheric contamination. This is particularly critical when welding reactive metals like stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum, where porosity and oxidation must be strictly controlled.
Industrial professionals rely on ESAB consumables for their consistency and fitment. The 54N16 threads securely onto the gas lens insulator and collet body assembly, providing a tight seal that prevents gas leakage. Its robust ceramic composition resists impact damage better than lower-quality alternatives, reducing the frequency of replacements and downtime. Whether used in aerospace, automotive fabrication, or general pipe welding, this nozzle delivers the reliability required for code-quality welds.
