How does Soto pocket torch work?

The Pocket Torch uses fuel that can be purchased from most grocery stores or at your local outdoor store (along with a fill adapter). The Pocket Torch produces a flame that reaches temperatures up to 1300°C (approx. 2,300 °F). A disposable lighter increases it lifespan by 60% when used with SOTO’s Pocket Torch.

How do I refill Soto?

Turn bottom of the unit up. Insert tip section of the Fill Adaptor and push lightly to fill with gas.

How hot does a plumbing torch get?

Constructed of durable steel, the slim, lightweight cylinder is easy to grip and maneuver as you work. This product is compatible with our Digital Fuel Gauge to easily measure how much fuel is remaining in the cylinder. Propane fuel has an in-air flame temperature of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.

What temperature do lighters get to?

If a butane lighter did not lose any heat — called the adiabatic temperature — it could reach 4,074 degrees, but most butane flames actually burn at temperatures closer to 3,578 degrees due to their interaction with the surrounding environment.

Why is my torch spitting fire?

If your lighter does not have the means to check the fuel level, you will have to rely on the performance of the flame. Spitting or flaring are good signs that your lighter is nearing the empty mark and needs to be bled.

Can a torch get too hot?

There are many reasons why a torch could overheat. The following are a few examples of possible reasons: Running a torch beyond its recommended amperage rating can cause it to overheat. Lack of sufficient gas flow (air-cooled torches) or water flow (water-cooled torches) will result in an under-cooled torch.

Is propane better than acetylene?

Acetylene releases almost 40% of its heat in the inner flame cone. Therefore, acetylene is better for cutting than propane. While temperature wise acetylene is hotter than propane the fact is that people are using propane for cutting incorrectly.
