  • Page 9: Maintenance

    §5 Maintenance 5.1 Cutting Torch Maintenance Plasma cutting torches use ionized air (plasma) as the arc that “melts” the metal and is pushed away by the compressed air. This plasma arc exceeds 50,000°F (28,000°C) when it is pushed through the .030”-.040” (0.8-1.0mm) hole in the berylium copper cutting tip. Considering these extreme temperatures, it is easy to understand the need to replace tips &...
