The Uniweld TYPE11TE-5 is a Type 11 series multi-flame heating tip end, specifically calibrated to size #5. Designed for oxy-acetylene systems, this component is critical for welders and fabricators requiring high BTU output for localized heating zones. The tip features a cluster of precision-drilled orifices that produce a stable, high-velocity multi-flame pattern. This configuration maximizes the heat transfer rate to the workpiece, significantly reducing the time required to reach critical temperatures for forming or brazing compared to single-orifice tips.
Technically, the TYPE11TE-5 is optimized for Acetylene gas, leveraging its high flame temperature (approx. 5,720°F / 3,160°C) and secondary combustion envelope. The tip end is constructed from high-grade copper alloy, which is essential for dissipating the intense reflected heat generated during heavy heating operations, thereby preventing tip overheating and potential flashbacks. It is designed to thread securely into compatible Uniweld mixers and elbows, ensuring a leak-free gas path and stable flame characteristics.
Operators should ensure that their acetylene cylinder capacity is sufficient for the draw rate of a #5 multi-flame tip to prevent withdrawing acetone from the cylinder (the 1/7th rule). Proper pressure settings are vital for optimal performance; insufficient pressure can cause backfires, while excessive pressure can lead to flame lift-off. This tip is an essential component for any serious oxy-fuel setup, providing the thermal power necessary for heavy-duty maintenance and fabrication tasks.
