Gas lighter

Piezoelectric gas lighter for igniting oxy-fuel burners (up to 400 l / h).
(excl. 2 AA batteries)

A gas lighter is a tool commonly used in welding processes to ignite the fuel gas, such as acetylene or propane, which is then mixed with oxygen to produce the flame required for welding. The gas igniter plays a crucial role in initiating the combustion process and producing a controlled welding flame. Below are some important points about the role of a gas igniter in welding:

Ignition: The main function of a gas lighter is to ignite the fuel gas used in welding. Pressing the ignition button or triggering the mechanism creates a spark that ignites the gas mixture. This ignition is important to start the combustion process and produce a stable flame.

Safety: Gas lighters are equipped with safety features that ensure reliable and controlled ignition. They usually have a built-in mechanism that produces a spark without the need for an open flame or matches. This minimizes the risk of accidents or unexpected ignition of the fuel gas and increases safety during welding.

Convenience: Gas lighters offer a convenient and quick method of igniting the fuel gas. By simply pressing or triggering, the spark is generated so that the welder can easily start the welding process. This saves time and effort compared to other ignition methods.

Precision: Gas lighters allow precise control of the ignition process. The spark generated by the lighter is directed to the desired spot, ensuring precise and targeted ignition of the fuel gas. This precision is particularly important for delicate welding work or when working with certain materials that require precise flame control.

Durability: Gas lighters used in welding are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the welding environment. They are usually made of robust materials that can withstand heat, sparks and occasional impacts. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the gas lighter, even in harsh welding environments.

Portability: Gas lighters are often compact and portable, allowing welders to easily carry them in their pockets or tool belts. This portability ensures that welders always have a reliable ignition source available, regardless of the welding location or work area.
