Think of it as a long steel pipe packed with steel wire that turns into a hightemperature cutting torch when oxygen is added. Itʼs powerful, fast, and ideal for high-heat industrial jobs — from opening tap holes to cutting scrap.
There are two main types:
• Type T – partially packed
• Type W – fully packed with wire for higher combustion

If youʼve ever worked in steel, demolition, or smelting, you know some materials wonʼt budge. Thatʼs where the Thermic Lance comes in — a serious tool for serious jobs.
Reaching temps up to 4,000°C, a Thermic Lance can slice through stainless steel, refractory concrete, ship hulls, and more. But with that kind of power, safety and technique matter more than ever.
Hereʼs a quick step-by-step guide we put together to help you or your crew use it safely and get the best results.
1. Suit Up
Before anything, put on your PPE helmet, gloves, fire-resistant clothing, boots, and eye protection. Sparks fly, and things heat up fast.
2. Set Up Your Gear
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby
Make sure your oxygen supply is good 812 bar)
Secure all hoses and connections to avoid leaks
Use an oxyacetylene torch to get the tip red-hot, then open the oxygen, and youʼre ready to go
3. Time to Cut
Keep at least a meter away from your material. Hold the lance at about a 3060° angle, depending on what youʼre cutting. Stay steady, and swap out the lance when it burns through.
4. Wrap It Up Safely
Shut off the oxygen. Let the material cool down before moving it. If itʼs still hot, mark the area so no one gets hurt.
