Gas nozzle: OD/D L The markings in the gas nozzle specification stand for: OD = outer diameter (at the widest point), D = diameter (inner diameter of the gas nozzle tip), L = length, L1/L2/L3 = length class (L1 = short, L2 = medium, L3 = long). In the contact tip specification: L+ = Life+ contact tip with longer life time, STD = standard. |
