I Forge Iron

venturi set-up

Recommended Posts

What is a good size length and diameter pipe to use for my venturi, I am using an old propane tank for my forge. What is also a good starting distance from the end of the pipe to start my dialing in for it. I have also seen some forges with the pipe aimed straight down and have seen some offset (for heat circulation I guess), any pros/cons to either way. I am using a .025 welding tip for my knozzle. Any help is appriciated.

If you don't have this one, get it, It is a good read.

I am still learning some of this myself, But I think it is 9 times the diameter.

I am playing with the 3/4 size and it should be good for a small forge.

Here is a look inside the book.
