To begin to determine what use blowtorches and how to make the right choice? Torches have been produced for over 130 years, but are still relevant to use. There are different types of torches : gas , gasoline and kerosene lamps . They come in different types and volume. Capacity of tank may be from 100 ml to 2 liters of fuel . From this and their dependent heat capacity, which can also be in the range of 0.5 kW to 3 kW more . These lamps are used for soldering various components of large and medium size. With a soldering iron can remove coatings , unscrew rusted fasteners and dismantle old metal construction, weld plastic, etc. Choosing a blowtorch will depend on its purpose .
There are four criteria by which to choose a blowtorch . They consist of a cylinder and the torch , but nevertheless they are all different . How are they different and how to choose the right machine ?
1. The first criterion is the construction of a blowtorch . As mentioned earlier, all the lamps consist of a cylinder and burner , but beyond that there is still a burner with a hose with a length of about five feet. These burners are very comfortable to work on weight, because the weight they significantly lighter than conventional torches .
2 . Second , you should pay close attention – a kind of balloon. There are lamps with punctures the balloon without a valve , and there is a joining valve. First are disposable to them not to make adjustment of flame and can not dispense the contents of fuel. But for the price they are much cheaper than the latter , it is their advantage . Burner valve with a joining in performance is much better than the ” disposable ” burner. They are more reliable and with them you can easily dispense fuel consumption and when there is a need can fuel podbavit . But are these torches are much more expensive than the former. There is a third option, which contains both the cylinder and a one-time joining .
3 . When choosing a blowtorch just pay attention to the fuel, which “eats” tool . It is important to know that those lamps that run through gasoline or kerosene flame issued at the exit temperature of more than 1100 degrees. Also, a flame can be easily controlled. There is also a gas heater . It is certainly much easier , so it should be used when working on weight, for example , when doing the roof of the house .
4 . And last, but not an important factor in the selection of the soldering iron is the volume of the fuel tank . This is the one with the most important technical characteristics that can determine the time of operation. If you want to work less than about an hour, then for gasoline or kerosene lamps need a tank capacity of at least 1 liter. But for the same length of the gas lamp will be enough volume to 100 ml. Looking at such a big difference , it seems that the gas lamps are much cheaper in use . But do not think only about the economy , there are other characteristics , where the gas lamp inferior to his opponent.
If you need a lamp for “amateur” work ( for example , to analyze an old radio or remove old paint from the fence ), here is fine most simple lamp , you can even use disposable . If you are going to use a blowtorch as the main tool for the job , there are certainly better not to spare money and choose the tool more expensive, but therefore better.
Blowtorch can be purchased at the nearest market , which sells tools for home , in specialty stores, or order a lamp over the Internet. On the Internet you can find not only the lights, but additional tools, special cases for storage , spare cylinders , hoses, burners and more. But then no one will give advice and consultation , rely solely on their own choices .
