What Is a Butane Gas Blow Torch?
A butane gas blow torch is a handheld device that utilizes butane gas as fuel to produce a flame, supplying heat.
Butane gas, a type of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is predominantly used in camping stoves, lanterns, heating appliances, and is known for generating carbon dioxide and water through its reaction with oxygen, resulting in minimal environmental impact. Chemically, butane is a saturated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4H10.
The butane gas blow torch allows for the adjustment of flame temperature and shape through the nozzle. In culinary applications, it is used to sear the surface of meat dishes or melt cheese toppings. Additionally, it finds applications in soldering, welding operations, and jewelry making.
