What is a Thermic Lance?
A thermic lance (also known as a thermal lance or burning bar) is a tool that burns iron in the presence of pressurized oxygen to generate extremely high temperatures exceeding 4,000°C. This intense heat can cut through virtually any material including steel, concrete, stone, and cast iron.
Thermic lances consist of a steel tube packed with steel wires or rods. When oxygen flows through and the end is ignited, the iron burns exothermically, creating temperatures capable of melting through the toughest materials.
Extreme Heat
Thermic lances generate temperatures over 4,000°C - hot enough to cut through any material.
Versatile Cutting
Cut steel, reinforced concrete, cast iron, rock, and other materials that resist conventional tools.
Simple Operation
Requires only oxygen supply and ignition source. No electricity needed on site.
Thermic Lance Sizes
We supply thermic lances in various diameters to match your cutting requirements:
| Diameter | Length | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 10mm | 3000mm | Precision work, thin materials |
| 12mm | 3000mm | Light to medium steel |
| 16mm | 3000mm | General purpose (most popular) |
| 19mm | 3000mm | Heavy-duty steel cutting |
| 22mm | 3000mm | Very thick steel, cast iron |
| 25mm | 3000mm | Industrial demolition |
Thermic Lance Applications
Thermic lances are essential tools in industries requiring cutting of extremely thick or hard materials:
- Scrap metal processing and recycling
- Demolition of steel structures
- Foundry work and tapping furnaces
- Cutting frozen valves and pipes
- Emergency rescue cutting
- Shipbreaking operations
