Cutting paraMeters for the esp-1000 the pt-36 is a mechanized plasma cutting torch designed for cutting without water injection. Cutting can be per- formed using air, oxygen, nitrogen or h-35 as the cut gas at currents ranging from 50 to 360 amperes. underwater cutting can be performed by using an air Curtain at 150 amps or higher.
