What is Burning Bar and Its Role in Cutting & Demolition Projects?

Burning bars—also called thermic lances or thermal lances—pack serious cutting power at a scorching 3,600°C. Here's how they work: A steel pipe filled with steel wires ignites using an oxy-acetylene torch, then high-pressure oxygen fuels a powerful exothermic reaction (4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃ + heat). This creates a continuous burning action that slices through rock, steel, and concrete effortlessly. No electricity needed—just oxygen and fire. A very simple, portable, and incredibly effective tool for tough industrial cutting jobs.

Why It Is Called "Burning Bar"?

Ever wondered why it's called a "burning bar"? The name perfectly captures what it does—it literally burns steel (the combustion process) in a bar-shaped rod. Think of it as an industrial-sized sparkler that melts through anything! You'll also hear it called a thermic lance, thermal lance, or oxygen lance—different names, same incredible tool, same principle. "Thermic" refers to the intense heat generated, while "oxygen lance" highlights the oxygen-fueled reaction. In the field, professionals use these terms interchangeably. Whether you call it a burning bar or thermal lance, you're talking about that powerful 3,600°C cutting beast that transforms oxygen and steel into unstoppable cutting force.

Our Burning Bar Specifications and Descriptions 

Burning Bar Type T - OD 13.8 ~ 27.2 mm Diameter

Ideal Applications:

  • Reinforced concrete demolition
  • Heavy-duty steel cutting
  • Industrial furnace dismantling
  • Thick structural steel removal
  • Extreme demolition projects

Specifications:

  • Diameter: 10.0 ~ 27.2 mm (±0.2mm)
  • Length: 2,500 ~ 5,500 mm standard (custom lengths available)
  • Operating Temperature: 3,600°C
  • Oxygen Pressure: 8-11 bar
  • Material: a mixture of steel wires inside the pipe

Why Burning Bar Type W? Type W delivers enhanced oxygen flow rate with higher pressure, making it perfect for cutting through harder materials that demand

 

maximum cutting force. 

The robust design of Burning Bar Type W provides:

  • Superior penetration power
  • Fast cutting through tough materials
  • Reliable performance on concrete
  • Maximum efficiency on challenging projects

Quick Selection Guide 

Material Type Recommended Type Why?
Mild Steel, Iron Type T Optimal oxygen flow for efficient cutting
Reinforced Concrete Type W Higher pressure breaks through concrete
Standard Construction Type T Balanced performance, cost-effective
Heavy Industrial Type W Maximum cutting force for tough jobs
Daily Operations Type T Easier to handle, lower oxygen consumption
Extreme Demolition Type W Superior power for challenging materials

Quick Reference:

  • Type T = Efficiency, control, everyday use
  • Type W = Power, penetration, extreme condition
