What is a Cutting Torch?

A Cutting Torch (TORCH,CUTTING) is a tubular shaped item, hand or machine held, with a torch head at one end permitting use of various tips to be screwed in or on for different cutting conditions. The other end has provisions for attaching a plasma hose or an oxygen and a fuel gas hose. Metal cutting or separation is effected by preheating and subsequent oxidation of the metal.

What is a Welding Torch?

A Welding Torch (TORCH,WELDING) is a tubular shaped item designed for emitting a flame for uniting, reuniting or cutting ferrous metals. It consists of a handle (also known as a torch butt), gas mixing chamber and gas control valves. It does not include tips or attachments. Excludes TORCH CUTTING; TORCH SET, CUTTING; TORCH SET, WELDING; TORCH OUTFIT, WELDING; TORCH OUTFIT, CUTTING.

What is a Cutting Torch Tip?

A Cutting Torch Tip (TIP,CUTTING TORCH) is a metal device in the form of a short tube which is attached to the outlet end of a TORCH, CUTTING. Excludes TIP, WELDING TORCH.

What is a Welding Torch Tip?

A Welding Torch Tip (TIP,WELDING TORCH) is a metal device in the form of a short tube which is attached to the outlet end of a TORCH, WELDING. Excludes TIP, CUTTING TORCH.

What is a Welding Torch Outfit?

A Welding Torch Outfit (TORCH OUTFIT,WELDING) is a group of items consisting of a TORCH, WELDING, hoses, regulators, welding tips and/or welding tip assemblies. May include one or more cutting tip attachments with various cutting tips and wrench.

What is a Welding Nozzle?

A Welding Nozzle (NOZZLE,WELDING) is an item that controls and directs air and/or gas flow to an area to be welded.

What is a Welding Flashback Arrester?

A Welding Flashback Arrester (ARRESTER,WELDING FLASHBACK) is a mechanical item which is fitted to welding equipment to prevent back feeding of gases thus obviating flashback.

NATO Supply Class 3433 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 34, which is dedicated to metalworking machinery. Specifically, Class 3433 focuses on gas welding, heat cutting, and metalizing equipment.

Gas welding equipment refers to tools and machinery used for joining metal pieces together using a gas flame. This process involves heating the metal surfaces to a molten state and then allowing them to cool and solidify, creating a strong bond.

Heat cutting equipment, on the other hand, is used to cut through metal using heat. This can be achieved through various methods such as oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting, or laser cutting. Heat cutting equipment is essential in metalworking industries for precise and efficient cutting of metal sheets, pipes, or other metal components.

Metalizing equipment is used for metalizing or metallizing, which is the process of applying a metallic coating to a surface. This coating can provide protection against corrosion, enhance the appearance of the surface, or improve conductivity. Metalizing equipment typically involves the use of thermal spray techniques, such as flame spraying or arc spraying, to apply the metallic coating onto the desired surface.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 3433 encompasses gas welding equipment, heat cutting equipment, and metalizing equipment. These tools and machinery play a crucial role in metalworking industries, allowing for efficient welding, cutting, and coating of metal components.
