Thermic Lance is used in diverse industries and is applied for different purposes, including heavy scrap cutting, or melting to eliminate slags. However, the application of the Thermic Lance pipes for different purposes and their usage significantly affects the highest efficiency of the lances. Depending on each usage purpose, customer considers which type of connection of the Thermic Lance is suitable for them during the operation.
We have several customers with specific demands and depending on the same, the connection type is modified. Therefore, today we shall be discussing about all the available connections for connecting the Thermic Lance pipes depending on the operation application of the customers.
Thermic Lance and its various connection types

Benefits of utilizing connections
- Decrease Production and Delivering Cost
By throwing leftovers of the Thermic Lances affect production costs. Therefore, by using fittings to join pipes during operation would be beneficial to decrease costs.
Generally, we offer a 3m Thermic Lance Pipe placed inside a 20 ft container. Yet, in some cases, we also provide 6m Thermic Lance Pipes as per customer’s request. And in this case, we use a 40 ft container for delivering. Therefore, with recurrent purchasing, shipping cost eventually gets affected and hence we recommend our customers to use fittings for connections as replacements.
- Safety for Operator
During operating time, safety is primary point to take into consideration. There are many heavy scraps which needs to be cut by using Thermic Lance. This process is not easy and so keeping a distance is required to have enough space to protect the operator and connecting the pipes helps in the same.
- Protecting natural resources
Another advantage that customers can consider while connecting Thermic Lance is to protect natural resources. Instead of throwing away the leftover, using a connection would sustain the whole big process from the beginning by not affecting the environment.
Different types of available Thermic Lance Connections
Thread coupling: In this type, wrench is used for tightening and connecting pipes. Sometimes, sealing or rubber sealing tape can also be used as another alternatives.
Quick coupling: In this type, operators can use hands to push the lances quickly to get it connected. The quick coupling is generally used in terms of connecting or removing the pipes.
Press quick coupling: In this type, customers mainly prefer the coupling to stick to one end of the pipes at the beginning, so they can use the connection between pipes immediately at the time of operation. This coupling type depends on customers requirement.
Fittings and SDGs
Decarbonization is a prerequisite for all production on Earth, and we are dedicated to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the steel making process by providing customers our Thermic Lance.
In the time being, using fittings for Thermic Lance would help to reduce scrap thus increasing the efficiency while using Thermic Lance for heavy scrap cutting, melting slags. Therefore, this can help reducing harmfulness to the Earth.
We are on a mission to safeguard the environment along with business development, following The Human Rights Guide to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Conclusion
Thermic Lances are applied in a range of sectors and for a diversity of purposes, including heavy scrap cutting and slag elimination. Our company’s manufacturing principle has always been producing high-quality steel pipe.
We have designed the fittings of the Thermic lances in such a way that it will help our current customers to use our products to suit the best as per their requirement.
