Miller/Smith Product Information Volume One

hi I'm Dale Johnson and thanks for tuning in we're very excited about the new Miller Smith brand transition and we want to do everything we can to support the sales team with the information necessary to make them successful in representing our oxy fuel and gas regulation product lines in this presentation we will focus on a couple of our mainline product families including cutting torches and some gas regulation equipment to start with let's talk about what an oxy fuel torch is designed to do torches may be used to heat to solder weld but most torches are used predominantly for cutting steel using a cutting tip as in a torch okay oxyfuel torches are designed for use with oxygen and various fuel gases such as propane natural gas propylene or acetylene and assembling by far is the most widely used next let's take a look at the metal cutting process and how cutting torches work first of all an oxy fuel torch flame is capable of producing flame temperatures of nearly 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit this high temperature flame is necessary to bring steel to is combustible point for cutting or to provide the heat needed for brazing and welding operations to cut steel it must be heated to its combustible point and a jet of nearly pure oxygen is forced through the metal this high-velocity oxygen passing through the metal then forces the burning molten metal away to produce the cut cylinder regulators are necessary in these processes to reduce the high pressure oxygen and fuel gases to the desired pressures needed for the cutting brazing or heating applications there are basically two torch designs used for these processes a straight torch otherwise known as a hand torch is designed specifically for cutting steel and is available in lengths from 17 to 72 inches the other torch design is known as a combination torch this type of torch is designed for use with various tip styles which can be inserted into the torch handle for welding brazing soldering and heating operations a cutting assembly may also be inserted into the handle for metal cutting operations there are various torch designs available for cutting from eighth inch to 24 inch thick steel different sized cutting tips are used for cutting various steel thicknesses now let's take a look at some of our high end torch design features and how they compare to the competition the Miller Smith torches are constructed with superior design features compared to the competition let's start with a combination style torch the torch handles are designed exclusively with internal threads for the tips or cutting attached but are inserted into the handle protecting them from damage also our gorge handles are constructed with stainless steel ball valves which provides smooth precise flame adjustment and can be finger tightened to create a consistent positive gas tight seal the torch valves were also constructed with a dragon tut any special packing material which allows the operator to set the desired resistance on the valves now let's look at the cutting attachment there are a couple of key features that set us apart from our competitors first of the o-ring seal where the cutting attachment fits into the handle this design allows the cutting assembly to be rotated to the desired tip angle eliminating the resistance of the hose on the operator during the cutting operation the o-ring design also allows hand tightening of the cutting assembly into the torch handle the same holds true for the welding and heating tips an exclusive key design feature of the cutting of Sam places that they are constructed with three tubes that carry the gasses to the torch head this design keeps the gas is separated until they mix in the tip itself keeping the gas as separate helps prevent combustion in the torch reducing the possibility of a backfire or flashback inside the torch this internals protect the operator from injury and/or damage to the torch itself another key feature to the cutting attachment is the ease on cutting oxygen valve this valve design allows the cutting oxygen to be slowly applied to reduce slag blow back at the operator next let's discuss our straight cutting torch designs a key feature is our exclusive reversible cutting lever which allows the user to mount the cutting lever to their preference on either the top or the bottom of the torch the straight torch models are equipped with an ease on oxygen feature similar to the cutting attachment these torches are also constructed with stainless steel ball valves for positive gas seating and they are assembled with a dragon justement feature the dragon justement allows the operator to set his or her desired valve resistance the torch valve the straight torch excuse me like the cutting attachment is also constructed with three gas tubes again this design keeps the gases separate until they enter the cutting tip and by doing so eliminates mixed gases in the torch as we know combustion requires mixing fuel gas and oxygen this design eliminates any potential for combustion to take place in the torch which results in added operator safety and extended torch life our largest competitor constructs their torches with only two tubes and in the two tube style torch the gas is actually mixed at one of the tubes if a backfire occurs it will burn inside the tube where the gases are mixed and will likely destroy the torch and even as a potential to injure the operator another great feature is our exclusive lifetime torch warranty which covers materials and workmanship and we are the only manufacturer of the industry that covers normal wear and tear as well now let's discuss some of the features and benefits of our long-lasting cutting tips our tip design and construction provides longer life than any other tip in the industry Miller Smith cutting tips are designed with an exclusive soft graft I'd seat material our competitor tips are designed with metal to metal seating surfaces which have dropped or nicked will not seat properly in the torch head requiring tip replacement our chip seat design is nearly impossible to damage and provides a gas tight seal time after time this soft seat packing also allows the operator to tighten the tip into the torch by hand or our competitors require a wrench for tightening now let's take a look at some of the high-end features of our gas regulation equipment and what makes us better than the competition we manufacture a full line of pressure regulators flow gauge and flow meter regulators all of our regulators are industrial grade and are designed with several features to provide long and accurate service one key feature is our sure seat technology this filter capsule design surrounds the high pressure seat and keeps debris from entering the valve seat area this results in significantly extending the life of the regulator our pressure regulators also utilize highly accurate shatter resistant polycarbonate gauges our flow meter regulator designs have several great features our series 30 flow meter regulators are designed with our exclusive self centering ball flow to this design provides accurate flow readings even when the flow tube is tipped which results in accurate flow readings for gas savings and optimum weld quality the flow tubes are also constructed with shatter resistant polycarbonate materials protecting them from cracking due to high pressure gas surge we've only touched on a few of the great features of a small part of our product line so to get more detailed information we would strongly urge you to then take advantage of our online training program there are several comprehensive training modules available to provide you with more in-depth information including competitive data features and benefits and technical information each module was about 25 minutes in length it includes a excuse me a quiz to test your knowledge these training modules may be taken at your own pace and to access them simply go to the Smith equipment comm website and under the distributor training program heading create your account by setting a username and a password you may also access this information under share force the Smith online University training modules will also provide you with more detailed product training including product features applications operation and safety we would recommend starting by viewing the first three modules which include basic product training gas regulation and torque safety we sincerely hope that you'll take advantage of these training opportunities please stay tuned for additional YouTube information regarding our other products and thanks for joining us
