Welding tip
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.

for steel structure building can i use: -size 2.5mm of 7016 welding rod as a filler for welding IPE240 to plates -size 2.5mm of 7016 welding rod as 2nd pass
Arc length is the distance from the tip of the electrode to the workpiece.
It is just at the end of the blue flame that comes from the tip.

To accurately measure a tennis grip size, use a ruler to measure the length between the tip of your ring finger and the second crease on your palm. Match this measurement to the corresponding grip size indicated by the manufacturer.
The size number on a gas torch tip refers to the diameter of the orifice. A size 0 tip has a smaller orifice diameter compared to a size 15 tip. This means that a size 0 tip will produce a smaller, more concentrated flame, while a size 15 tip will produce a larger, broader flame.
Each manufacturer does it a bit differently. several factors might be indicated by the "size." Tip opening - the space between the tip of the reed and the mouthpiece - is almost always indicated, usually with a number. The bigger the number the bigger the opening. 5, 6, and 7 are usually the mid-range with lower numbers indicating a more closed mouthpiece (including student pieces). Larger numbers are for big ol' things that play loud and take lots of air and lots of strength. Facing length may be indicated, usually by letters Chamber shape and size may also be indicated by letter, but often that is indicated by a model name Baffle style may also be indicated but that's usually by the model name, too.
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.
Larger in Gas Welding. In all arc processes the HAZ is concentrated in a couple inches around your bead. In gas welding it can be double or triple that size.
