This Commercial Item Descrip
2、tion covers the classification of exothermic torch cutting rods which shall be provided for the Portable Exothermic Cutting Unit (PECU), NSN No. 1H 4240-01-272- 3841. Salisnt characteristics: DESCRIPTION: Exothermic cutting rods are of tubular construction, made of carbon steel, and are designed to
3、fit into an exothermic torch handle. The exothermic burning reaction begins when pressurized oxygen is passed through the rod and ignited by a spark from a 12 volt ignition source. oxygen and carbon steel rod consume themselves as the fuel and create a flame (without a welding power supply or explos
4、ive fuel gases) that generates temperatures sufficient to cut materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron and concrete and various non-metallic materials. The ignited e 1. Sizes. Two sizes of exothermic torch cutting rods shall be provided for the Portable Exothermic Cutting Unit (
