For welding and cutting

SanCut®

Special product for oxyfuel cuttingprocess.

The right solution foryour oxyfuel thermalcutting.

The oxyfuel thermal cutting technology is the oldest and best known, but still in continuous development. This technology is fundamental for processing of constructionsteels. Plasma and laser technologies are suitable for medium thin thicknesses, but oxyfuel technology remains the queen for cutting thick sheets.

Nippon Gases has developed some productsspecific for this technology with the aim ofmaking the process even more advantageousto increase productivity and cutting quality.

What is the most important gas in the oxyfuel cutting process?

Without a doubt, the answer to this question is oxygen.

It supports the flame in the preheating phase, bringing carbon steel to incandescence, and thus fueling an exothermic reaction between the carbon contained in the steel and oxygen. However, fuel gas also has a fundamental function in the type of work and process economy.

You can choose the right fuel gas based on the type of cutting to be performed..

Acetylene with its high flame temperature can be used in many contexts but has its advantage on thinner plates where the cutting speed can be increased.

On thick plates where the total amount of heat applied is decisive for a good result, propane will be a suitable fuel gas.

Mepran is the fuel gas that fills the space between these two fuel gases and is therefore a good "all round" fuel gas that is delivered liquid in the same way as propane..
