Oxygen lance is a device used to melt or cut steel too thick to be cut by using ERW mild steel pipe to feed oxygen under pressure to a preheated area, supplying a constant 40-50 PSI (2.7-3.5 bar) flow to the lance. The lance tube itself should be as long as is practical since it is steadily consumed during the cutting process and should keep the operator at a safe distance from the cutting area.
The cutting procedure is also fairly simple considering the thickness of material that it melts. The edge of the section of steel is heated to a bright cherry red with the oxy-acetylene torch and the tip of the oxygen lance is then applied to this area. The pressurized flow of oxygen causes a vigorous oxidation reaction on the surface of the steel which, in turn, causes a peak in localized temperature sufficient to melt the material. The jet of oxygen also serves to blast away this melted material creating a channel or cut in the steel.
The oxygen lance should not be confused with a thermal or thermic lance. Thermal lance operates on a similar principle but uses a bundle of iron and magnesium wires inside the lance tube to create a self-sustaining and extremely hot cutting flame
