GTT Scorpion LC 4S Bench Torch — For Scientific Glass and Quartz Applications
Key Features
-
Type: Air-cooled bench torch (no liquid cooling required)
-
Burner Configuration: 4-stage (4S) — four independently controlled rings for precise flame shaping and temperature control
-
Fuel Compatibility:
-
Oxygen + Natural Gas or Propane: Standard for most scientific glassblowing and quartz work, offering versatility and strong heat output
-
Oxygen + Hydrogen: Supported for ultra-clean, high-temperature work—ideal for applications requiring carbon-free flames (e.g., quartz fabrication)
-
Flame Range: Adjustable from fine, pinpoint flames for delicate seals and repairs to broad, high-heat flames for large glass apparatus
-
Construction: Durable stainless steel—built for demanding laboratory use
-
Cooling System: Internal airflow design keeps the torch cool to the touch during operation
