Super Heating Tip – Oxy/Acetylene
The Super Heating Tip is a high-capacity oxy-acetylene heating nozzle designed for industrial applications requiring concentrated heat, rapid heating rates and precise flame control. Engineered to deliver a powerful and stable flame pattern, these tips are ideal for heavy-duty fabrication, preheating, heat straightening, bending, shrinking and thermal expansion work.
Utilising oxy-acetylene technology, Super Heating Tips provide a high flame temperature and excellent heat transfer characteristics, making them particularly effective for applications where fast heating and localised heat concentration are required. Available in multiple sizes, the range allows operators to select the appropriate heat output for the workpiece and application.
Suitable for fabrication workshops, maintenance departments, construction sites, mining operations and heavy industry, Super Heating Tips offer reliable performance for demanding heating applications.

Note: The above information represents typical operating ranges only. Actual performance may vary depending on equipment condition, operator technique, tip condition, gas purity, regulator performance and material type being heated.
Recommended Applications
- Heavy plate heating
- Structural steel fabrication
- Heat straightening and distortion correction
- Preheating prior to welding
- Shrink fitting and thermal expansion work
- Maintenance and repair operations
- Mining, rail and construction industries
- General industrial heating applications
Understanding Tip Sizes
The Super Heating Tip range is designed to provide increasing heat output as tip size increases. The SHA1 is suited to general heavy-duty heating applications, while the SHA2 delivers greater heat output for larger workpieces and applications requiring faster heating rates.
By selecting the correct tip size, operators can optimise heating efficiency, minimise gas consumption and achieve more consistent heating results.
Operator Guidance
For optimum performance, set oxygen and acetylene pressures to the recommended values shown above and adjust the flame to achieve a neutral oxy-acetylene flame. Ensure flashback arrestors are fitted to both oxygen and acetylene lines and that all equipment is suitable for the required gas flow rates.
Always follow relevant oxy-fuel safety procedures and ensure adequate ventilation when operating heating equipment.
Heat Output Comparison
Delivering heat outputs of approximately 180 MJ/h to 220 MJ/h, the Super Heating Tip range provides substantial heating capacity for demanding industrial applications while retaining the rapid heating characteristics and flame control associated with oxy-acetylene equipment.
