The table below shows how effective thickness changes with different torch angles.
You can calculate the effective thickness for any thickness and torch-angle combination with the
following formula:
Effective thickness = Workpiece thickness / sin(a)
Hypertherm recommends that you use the thickness settings in the cut chart that are most similar to
the effective thickness that you want to cut. After cutting starts, adjust thickness settings only as
necessary.
Effective thickness = Wall thickness
sin(a)
* For pipe cutting, substitute “workpiece thickness” with “wall thickness” to calculate the effective thickness.
1 Effective thickness
2 Angle of the torch – sin(a)
3 Wall thickness
Effective thickness Torch angle
12 mm (.50 inch) 90 degrees
17 mm (.71 inch) 45 degrees
25.4mm (1.00inch) 60 degrees
