ESAB Launches New Range of Gas Welding & Cutting Products

ESAB’s Elite Regulator range is designed to provide optimum performance and first class operator safety even in the most demanding of conditions.

All the Elite R-720 single stage & R-770 multi stage regulators benefit from ESAB’s patented RBO protection. In the event of a regulator burnout, this additional protective device contains the fire within the regulator preventing the potentially fatal consequences of a regulator burnout. As well as the RBO protection, the R-720 & R-770 regulators are made from solid brass stock making them extremely robust and well suited to the environment in which they are used whilst still providing the accuracy and performance needed from a precision instrument conforming to the international manufacturing standard – BS EN ISO 2503.

Typical applications for Elite regulators include oxy-fuel gas welding & cutting, purging, pressurising & laboratory applications. This is alongside models specifically designed for MIG/MAG and TIG welding processes.

ESAB’s Elite range of welding & cutting torches come in the form of the medium duty Elite 6 and the lighter weight Elite DH combination torch. The rugged design of both the Elite 6 and Elite DH lend themselves well to the rigours they are due to be put through on a daily basis and will consistently give the user excellent cutting and/or welding performance throughout. Both the Elite 6 & the Elite DH combination torches are completely interchangeable with the Murex Saffire 5 & Saffire DH Lite model torches. ESAB has also introduced a range of oxy-fuel NM cutting torches which will come in a variety of different length and angled head options to cater for the broadest range gas cutting operations. All of ESAB’s cutting and welding torches are suitable for service with both Acetylene and Propane fuel gases.

With safety of the operators and their environment being of paramount importance within gas applications, ESAB has also introduced an extensive range of Elite flashback Arrestors alongside their regulator offering. The FR1000 & FR2000, regulator mounted resettable type flashback arrestors give high flow rates coupled with maximum safety features of flame arrestors, pressure sensitive and thermal cut off valves. There is also the FRT, regulator mounted ‘barrel’ type flashback arrestors and also, not commonly seen in the UK market place, the FT and FTH torch mounted flashback arrestors, all offering high flow rates and available for service with all common gas types for welding, cutting & heating applications.

To round off the new range of gas equipment from ESAB is a comprehensive selection of cutting, welding and process nozzles as well as a range of fitted and unfitted oxy-fuel welding hose.

The Nozzle range includes, Acetylene & Propane nozzle mix (ANM/ANME & PNM/PNME) cutting nozzles, Swaged and Lightweight swaged welding nozzles, Heating and process nozzles. All are manufactured from high grade tellurium copper and when used along with the Elite NM cutter and Elite combination torch range will give optimum control conditions and a precise flame shape.

ESAB’s gas welding hose is available in fitted and unfitted lengths available for gas service of Acetylene, Oxygen & Propane. They are designed to have an increased resistance against being crushed or kinked along their lengths and are manufactured to the international standard BS EN ISO 3821 and factory fitted to the standard BS EN ISO 1256.
