At the moment, there are various techniques for connecting pipes. One of the rather popular methods is soldering by means of special burners. Worth considering it. A gas torch for soldering is a portable equipment equipped with interchangeable cylinders, or a stationary device called a welding post. This equipment is used in most cases when installing pipelines of various highways and systems. Thanks to the use of the soft flame of the burner, it is possible to uniformly heat up the soldering area, without burning the pipe material. The flame can reach a temperature of 1950 degrees Celsius, which is quite enough to connect copper pipes using soft or hard solders.
A gas soldering torch may be one of several varieties. In the assortment of modern outlets you can find both high-performance and household models.
A gas soldering torch is a fairly popular tool among representatives of various activities. It can be used in everyday life for various household needs. Masters use it to repair refrigeration equipment, install plumbing, air conditioning and more. Recently, even master jewelers have become interested in such equipment.
A manual gas torch for soldering can belong to one of three groups, depending on several characteristics:
- according to the field of application, it can be highly specialized or multifunctional;
- by type of nozzle, it can belong to the category with replaceable, spear or rotating nozzle;
- according to the type of flame control, it can be a device with a power regulator or a piezo-burner.
The gas burner for soldering has a very simple design. She has a wide nozzle, a valve for supplying gas, connected to the cylinder. Ignition is carried out after the valve is open and the source of fire is brought up. Using the same valve, the flame is adjusted. A burner of this design can be used for various purposes. There is a more powerful option, while achieving more power is possible due to the fact that there are special holes on the nozzle.
A gas burner for soldering, having an oblong and narrow nozzle that creates a powerful and even emission of flame, is used for special work, for example, soldering copper pipes when repairing or installing refrigerators and air conditioners.
The portable gas torch for soldering with piezo ignition is equipped with a convenient flame regulator. The directed stream of flame is able to reach a temperature of about 1300 degrees. Such devices in everyday life can be used for a wide variety of purposes. The usability of such equipment is difficult to overestimate. Gas for this is opened by means of a regulator, after which the piezoelectric element is activated.
A special soldering torch is designed for some special occasions. It is worth saying that a special flame supply in such devices was developed to carry out precise work with small elements.
