Abstract
A method of directing a gas flow in a tip of a gas torch includes: directing a flow of gas to an outer passageway of the tip; directing the flow of gas inwardly through at least one intermediate gas passageway; directing the flow of gas to a central gas passageway of the tip; and directing the flow of gas distally through a distal orifice of the tip.
Claims21
A method of directing a gas flow in a tip of a gas torch, the method comprising:
- directing a flow of gas to an outer passageway of the tip;
- directing the flow of gas inwardly through at least one intermediate gas passageway;
- directing the flow of gas from the intermediate gas passageway to a central gas passageway of the tip;
- directing the flow of gas distally through a distal orifice of the tip;
- and
- directing a flow of preheat gas to at least one axial passageway radially offset from the central gas passageway, for flowing the preheat gas through the tip.
A method of directing a gas flow in a tip of a gas torch, the tip comprising an inner tip and an outer tip, the method comprising:
- directing a flow of gas distally along an outer surface of the inner tip;
- directing the flow of gas inwardly from the outer surface of the inner tip into a central gas passageway in the inner tip;
- and
- directing the flow of gas distally along the central gas passageway.
A method of directing a gas flow in a tip of a gas torch, the method comprising:
- directing a flow of gas distally along an outer passageway that is offset from a central gas passageway of the tip;
- directing the flow of gas inwardly from the outer passageway to the central gas passageway of the tip;
- and
- directing a flow of preheat gas to at least one axial passageway radially offset from the central gas passageway, for flowing the preheat gas through the tip.
