The blowtorch is used for heating containers containing non-flammable liquids, repair work, heat treatment and soldering. Devices are classified according to the type of fuel they use. They produce kerosene, gas and petrol burners.
The gas blowtorch is considered the most popular and convenient. However, fans of gasoline burners insist on their own.
Modern high-tech gas soldering devices combine ergonomics and reliability in use. They are able to work both from disposable cylinders and from refillable ones. The blowtorch itself is available with a plastic or metal case.
Universal gas devices can operate from various types of cylinders that are connected with a thread, while the gas container can be disconnected at any time. This equipment is convenient for transportation and storage. When buying a device, you should pay attention to gas lamps that work with the latest KEMAP valve cylinders.
These containers have aluminuma housing that contains a special mixture of liquefied gases created on the basis of oil. This blowtorch allows you to achieve high soldering efficiency, which previously could only be obtained using acetylene.
These devices will be a great help for craftsmen involved in professional welding and soldering.
There are gas burners powered by ordinary propane tanks. These devices are powerful and reliable. They are universal and do not depend on the choice of gas source. For work, you can use a hose of any length. To carry out roofing work, you need to pick up a lamp that comes with a lever and a nozzle that allows you to quickly increase the power of the flame.
For those involved in the repair of electrical appliances, you can buy microsoldering irons in which the gas container is located inside the fixtures. Before using the devices, they are filled from a gas cartridge designed for lighters. This device can be a good gift for men with skillful hands.
A gasoline blowtorch can generate very high temperatures, reaching up to 1100 degrees. The strength of the flame of the device can be easily adjusted. A blow torch that runs on low-octane gasoline or kerosene can be used to heat large soldering irons or work with hard solder.
Devices running on gas or gasoline have their own advantages andlimitations. To combine the characteristics of both devices, you can purchase a universal multi-fuel burner. This device is able to work on any type of fuel, from diesel to gas. Such a blowtorch is quite expensive (7-8 thousand rubles).
It must be remembered that all devices require careful handling and may fail. Most often, the pump that pumps fuel breaks down, and the jets are clogged.
