· A highpressure tip is used for nitrogen assist gas cutting. This device is designed to maximize the speed and force at which the assist gas exits the nozzle. Assist gas pressures usually range between 300 and 400 pounds per square inch (PSI) when cutting thick stainless steel. Thinner stainless can be cut with pressures in the lower ranges of 100 to 200 PSI.
