The outside holes of a welding tip, often referred to as gas orifices, are designed to allow the flow of shielding gas to surround the welding arc. This gas protects the weld from atmospheric contamination, ensuring a cleaner and stronger bond. Additionally, these holes help to control the distribution and intensity of the gas, enhancing the quality of the weld. Properly functioning orifices are essential for achieving optimal welding results.

How is the size of welding tip indicated?

The size of a welding tip is typically indicated by its diameter, which is measured in either millimeters or inches. For example, welding tips may be labeled as 0.020", 0.030", or 1.0 mm, depending on the specific application and type of welding process used. Additionally, some manufacturers may use a numbering system to designate tip sizes, which corresponds to the gas flow and application needs. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct size and usage guidelines.

What torch do you use in welding to produce a variety of flame sizes?

A welding torch as opposed to a cutting torch is more appropriate . Welding torches accommodate a variety of tip sizes designated by a number and have only one orifice (hole) for the flame. The smaller the number the smaller the tip orifice (hole) and a smaller flame. Larger numbers means larger hole sizes and larger flames. Sizes start at 0 and can be as large as 40 or more. The size of the tip is determined by the thickness of material to be welded/brazed. Thin materials would call for a small tip size, thick materials would need a larger tip size.
