This really points out that what Brent is working on is a good idea.
A full listing of torches and consumption compiled by a qualified operator familiar with the production techniques we use.
Perhaps the numbers from the manufacturers are not real world numbers.
Looks like we will find out as soon as Brent has a chance to complete his research.

I'm sure that Knight did not make a typo on their product data information. I have similar numbers for the Premier torches (National) and the Herbert Arnold torches.
For the torches that we have been testing for the past few years, we use very high quality in-line flow meters and pressure gauges (costing several hundreds of dollars - not the cheap type) and measure the largest usable flame. I cannot speak for the other companies out there, but GTT knows flame characterisitics very well.
