JET STIK 48″ Stoneworking Flame Tool

The JET STIK hand held torch is a miniature water-cooled rocket.
Oxygen, at 70 psig (3.4 bar) and propane (C3 H8) at 40 psig (2.7 bar) are injected into the combustion chamber at the
tip of the torch. These gases burn completely within the chamber at around 5,300 degrees F (3,000 degrees C). The hot
gases then fire through the tip orifice at a velocity of 5,000 feet per second (1,500 meters per second).

It is this high velocity that increases the heat transfer rate and makes the JET STIK so effective for flame finishing granite.

The flame is generated inside the torch, and is not influenced by outside conditions. Water can be sprayed on the flame
without extinguishing it.

Because the combustion chamber would melt without a continuous flow of water cooling it, the JET STIK hose bundle is
equipped with a pressure interlock to shut off the fuel if water pressure drops below a preset point. Since this
is a pressure switch and not a flow switch, the operator must make certain that water is always flowing through
the discharge hose.
