Cutting Torch Using a cutting torch fueled by high-pressure natural gas means cleaner cuts with less slag, less top edge rounding and less grinding for faster cleanup. Compared to any other oxyfuel cutting torch, such as an acetylene torch or a propane torch, natural gas gives top performance at lower cost with similar piercing and cut travel speeds. Keep the torch body you already use - simply switch to a natural gas cutting tip!

Brazing Copper Pipe /
Silver Brazing When you're brazing copper pipe you want a broad soaking torch flame that provides even heat-up without hot spots, and that's exactly what you get with high-pressure natural gas. Natural gas has more heat in the secondary flame, perfect for heating copper pipe and other tube-shaped objects for silver brazing. In fact, natural gas has more heat in it's secondary flame than an acetylene torch or propane torch. Less oxidation problems, fewer surface heat defects, less porosity and the best quality braze with high-pressure natural gas! If you manufacture heat transfer, air drying, refrigeration, air conditioning or similar equipment natural gas will help you produce better quality products.

Thermal Spray If you have a thermal spray application including HVOF, flame spray or metallizing using Sulzer Metco or similar equipment then a G-TEC "H Series" Torch Booster will help you save money and improve performance. Replace propane or propylene with high-pressure natural gas and cut fuel costs by more than 50%, eliminate gas reliquification problems and never run out of gas in the middle of a job. If you are concerned about HVOF strength experience has demonstrated that coatings made with natural gas are at least equal to and often a little better than coatings with propane or propylene.

Glassblowing
Whether artistic glassblowing or scientific glassblowing, whether working with moretti, murano or borosilicate, natural gas is the best fuel gas! Cleaner than propane, your glass torch will not accumulate bits of carbon that flies into your work, and with a cleaner reducing fire your colors will be bold and clear. Natural gas works especially well for glass bead and neon sign makers. Suitable for installation in your home studio you will get all the fuel gas you need without having to refill and replace empty gas cylinders.
