This detailed product description showcases the premium quality, size 5 ceramic gas nozzle from Wieländer+Schill, specifically developed for TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding torches. This component is essential for precise and reliable shielding gas arc welding processes, ensuring optimal gas flow and effective protection of the weld zone.
The ceramic gas nozzle, part number 337132, is a key consumable for TIG welding technology. Made from high-quality ceramic material, it guarantees excellent heat resistance and long service life, even during the most intensive welding tasks. The design of the nozzle ensures a uniform and laminar flow of the shielding gas (usually argon) around the electrode and the weld pool, thereby minimizing oxidation caused by air and degradation of the weld bead quality.
This specific size (Size 5) is an ideal choice for applications where precision and the creation of relatively smaller weld beads are the goal. The ceramic material is extremely resistant to high temperatures and the thermal shock caused by the welding arc, unlike less resistant materials.
This gas nozzle is specifically compatible with the following TIG torches:
SR 17 series TIG torches
SR 18 series TIG torches
SR 26 series TIG torches
Thanks to its standard sizing, it can be easily integrated into existing welding equipment, ensuring quick and trouble-free replacement.
The precise physical characteristics of the product guarantee proper fit and performance. The table below summarizes the most important technical specifications:

The use of ceramic (often based on zirconium dioxide or aluminum oxide) in the manufacture of gas nozzles offers several advantages over traditional materials:
Excellent Heat Resistance: Ceramic maintains its structural integrity even at extremely high temperatures, preventing deformation or melting during intensive arc work.
Longer Lifespan: Due to its wear and heat resistance, ceramic nozzles last significantly longer, thus reducing maintenance and replacement intervals.
Clean Welding Environment: The ceramic material does not react with the substances generated during the welding process, thus it does not contaminate the weld seam.
Precise Gas Flow: Manufacturing precision ensures that the inner diameter of the torch nozzle (8.0 mm) remains constant, which is essential for a stable arc and optimal shielding gas distribution.
This size 5 ceramic gas nozzle is an ideal choice for the following industrial and professional applications:
Body Repair: Especially for welding thinner sheets, where precise heat input is crucial.
Construction Welding: Welding of general steel and stainless steel structures.
Pipe Welding: Welding of smaller diameter pipes where the size of the nozzle restricts access.
Workshop Work: General maintenance and repair tasks requiring reliable consumables.
Wieländer+Schill's range also includes ceramic gas nozzles in diameters other than size 5, which are also compatible with SR 17, SR 18, and SR 26 torches, but provide different gas flow parameters:
Ceramic Gas Nozzle | Size 6 (Item No: 337130): Diameter: 9.5 mm, Length: 47.0 mm. May require a larger volume of gas.
Ceramic Gas Nozzle | Size 7 (Item No: 337131): Diameter: 11.0 mm, Length: 47.0 mm. The largest diameter option in the series, ideal for higher welding currents.
These accessories allow the welder to adjust the gas nozzle size to match the workpiece size and the required welding parameters to achieve the best quality result.
Wieländer+Schill is committed to the highest quality standards. The product complies with strict quality management systems, as evidenced by the following certifications (although a direct certification for the nozzle itself is not included, the manufacturer's quality assurance background guarantees product reliability):
ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management)
This ceramic gas nozzle is an indispensable element of professional TIG welding, combining durability, precision, and reliable performance.
