Noz-Alls ANME-6 Cutting Nozzles - Full SIze Range Available From 0,8 (1/32") to 5,5 (7/32") ANME-10
The ANME-6 are more frequently used in cutting machines in the UK . The longer length of the ANME improves the backfire resistance when compared to the ANM-6. Our nozzles are manufactured to our engineering drawings to ensure you may be confident the nozzle has the correct flame characteristics and is safe to use.
The problem is that many nozzles may look similar but they are not, it is how the nozzle has been manufactured inside that counts.
The ANME -6 was the original ANM cutting nozzle, it was a cost cutting exercise by BOC which produced the shortened (76mm) ANM as we know it today the original nozzle length then became the ANME for "extended".
At a later date the nozzle body diameter was reduced to the European standard. The ANME-6 cutting nozzle is available in the full range of sizes to maximise your cutting efficiency.
Oxy / acetylene will always be the best and safest gas to cut with, no other fuel gas can match the ability of oxy/acetylene to impart its heat quickly and efficiently into the work plate to be cut so the ignition time with oxy/acetylene is always the shortest, one of the "problems" is having artisans set a pre-heat small enough, the oxy / acetylene flame is so efficient you don't need a large flame, as the large flame causes "problems" such as welded on dross on the bottom edge, top edge melt and concave cut. Reduce the flame size / amount of heat and the problems go away! Class 1 cut without any problems. From a safety point of view working with oxy/ acetylene is good as the acetylene is lighter than air and readily disburses into the atmosphere which is different to the heavy LPG gases such as Propane which don't burn so readily, are heavier than air and will collect and remain in voids / pockets as a danger for later.
Working with Oxy / Acetylene uses just a quarter of the oxygen that propane requires for burning the pre-heat.
Oxygen purity will affect the cutting speed with which a nozzle can function, not the fuel gas, no one fuel gas cuts faster than another and anyone that says so is being miss leading. The Oxygen does the cutting and the pre-heat is there to maintain the ignition spot. The fastest fuel gas to give an ignition spot is Acetylene while one of the least efficient is Natural Gas. When set correctly every fuel gas is capable of providing class 1 cut face finish at the same cutting speed when using the same cutting orifice characteristics. When your cutting involves frequent stop starts then oxy / acetylene will save time and money because oxy/acetylene achieves your ignition spot first and most efficiently using lots less oxygen.
Oxy / Acetylene - Safe & Efficient - Safe to work with safe to store and use - Put oxy / acetylene back at the top of your list.
