In the steel making ladle process alumina particles can block the oxygen lance nozzle.

These include tuyeres, coolers, hot blast valve parts and oxygen lance nozzles.

Oxygen lances are used in scrapping operations and cut sections thicker than 200 mm (8 inches).

A spear of light sprang up the long axis of what had been the capsule, piercing the armored ceiling above like an oxygen lance through tissue.

His idea was to use a channel reactor with a series of oxygen lances, then have countercurrent flow of slag and metal to achieve high refining efficiency.

Kaldo Process A method of producing steel from molten iron, using an inclined rotating converter and a water cooled oxygen lance inserted through the converter mouth.

Once all scrap has melted, a special pipe called "oxygen lance" is lowered in the pig iron, and a very fast and sharp blow of oxygen is blasted in.

Technically, Mike used the perfectly well known trick of an oxygen lance to pierce the airlock door, let the air out of the lock, and so allow the outer door to be opened.

Oxygen lances and other custom made torches do not have a separate pressure control for the cutting oxygen, so the cutting oxygen pressure must be controlled using the oxygen regulator.

A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create the very high temperatures required for cutting.

A more accurate depiction of a thermal lance in film is in the 1981 Michael Mann movie Thief, in which a real oxygen lance is used to cut a doorway through a real vault door.
