Radial cutting torch is a cutting device used to sever tubing, casing, drill pipe and coil tubing. It utilizes a proprietary mixture of various powdered metals, a torch body and a nozzle section, which together burn like a cutting torch on ignition by the gas generator. The reaction can best be described as a burn with the effect being similar to that of an oxyacetylene cutting torch. The nozzle section, located at the lower end of the torch, consists of carbon elements that act as a heat barrier for the steel nozzle, the threaded nozzle, the diverter, the cap, and sleeve. The nozzle section is protected from well bore fluids by means of a sleeve that slides out of the way upon ignition exposing the nozzle to the well bore for cutting.
