Flame Cutting

Compare acetylene and natural gas flame cutting speeds

You only need to change your torch tip to make the switch to hi-pressure natural gas. We have the right tips for all brands and models of cutting torches...hand torches, machine torches, and specialty equipment such as powder cutting torches.

Messer flame cutting table with ALFA torches

Do you need high-pressure natural gas for your Messer cutting system with ALFA torches?

The newest generation of Messer cutting tables with ALFA torches need 25-28 psi natural gas and if your gas utility can’t supply this pressure a G-TEC Torch Booster is the answer!

- If you use 2 oxy fuel torches then select

TB-125 Torch Booster

- If you have up to 5 oxy fuel torches then

TB-250 Torch Booster is the right system

- For up to 10 oxy fuel torches select the

TB-500 Torch Booster

Clean edge on steel flame cut with natural gas

Using a cutting torch fueled by hi-pressure natural gas means cleaner cuts with less slag, less top edge rounding and less grinding for faster cleanup.

Compared to any other oxy-fuel 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!

The Edison Welding Institute says...

Natural gas is an excellent fuel...it had less tendency to round the top edge of the cut and produced less slag or dross. Also, the dross that was produced...did not adhere as tightly to the plate and was more easily removed. No difference was found in cutting speed between acetylene and natural gas...
