XLT specialises in Advanced Thermic Lancing Training and is one of a very few training organisations worldwide to offer professional Thermic/Thermal Lancing Training Courses.

A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that burns iron in the presence of pressurised oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long iron tube packed with iron rods, sometimes mixed with aluminium or magnesium rods to increase the heat output. One end of the tube is placed in a holder and oxygen is fed through the tube.

A lance will cut through anything, including:

• Metals
• Reinforced concrete
• Rock
• Huge lumps of metals and slag
• Metal pins in awkward places

For some jobs the lance is the only tool available.

The temperature reached by a thermic lance in the centre of the combustion zone is around 4000°C, greater than the melting point of any substance on Earth. By way of comparison, concrete melts at 1800 - 2500°C and steel at less than 1500°C.

XLT's Advanced Thermic Lancing Training Programs are structured so that trainees become proficcient in all aspects of Thermic Lancing.

• Safety and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
