Isn't flame length on the TS8000 2 inches longer than the TS4000?.... perhaps the test would be more accurate if the tips of the flames for each torch touched the glass flasks. This would mean the TS4000 would be 2 inches closer for the test. I think those 2 inches allows too much heat to dissipate. Just a thought.... I appreciate all the work and math that you did.

My thoughts exactly. Real-world scenario, you wouldn’t be using the torch at a fixed point. You’d be using it based on where the flame is… This test is inconclusive.

According ro the manufacturer, the 4000 version is rated at 4500btu and the 8000 version is rated at 12,900btu. Each one has its place. It all depends on what you need from your torch. I recommend the different nozzles for multiple purposes.
@MikeTrieu
@MikeTrieu 11 ай бұрын
Since you bought one of each, a fun experiment is to take the nozzle off the TS8000 and screw it onto the TS4000. It totally fits and elongates the flame. It obviously won't change the flow rate, but at least more of the gas will be flowing in a column rather than making that fat bulb at the base that the TS4000 nozzle does.

Maybe it was just I couldn't see the flame very well, but I thought the TS4000 is supposed to have a smaller flame? So wouldn't one move it slightly closer to the target? Granted I've no personal experience, that's why I'm here learning about them, but the way I see most people using these things is with the flame pressed right up against the target. I guess you'd crack that glass if you did that here but a piece of metal you want to heat up isn't going to care. I know there is a difference, but I'd like to see if the difference is still so pronounced once you have less heat bleeding off to the sides of the TS4000 flame. Thanks anyway this definitely showed the TS8000 has a higher burn rate.

One uncontrolled variable: the TS4000 has a smaller flame, yet you placed it the same distance from the flask. Thus, more heat wasted -- not applied to the flask.

Seems like a good conclusion based on this experiment. HOWEVER, I use the torch to solder copper pipe 98% of the time, not heat up a beaker from about 6" away. When soldering pipe you want it to be in the inner cone , around an inch away. I think that a better experiment would be related to soldering pipe. However you did perform a nice controlled experiment.

Sadly Bernzomatic discontinued the TS 7000 when they came out with the TS 8000. The TS 7000 used less fuel, and had a little smaller flame,. Overall it was a much better torch, especially when working in tighter areas. Hope they read this and bring it back.

As an asphalt tanker delivery driver, this is one of the most used tools that I own. For every delivery I have to heat up the cap on the rear of the tanker to let it be loose so I can remove it. It's unfortunate that I just bought a ts4000 and just now researching which one is the best LOL. Although, my ts4000 has a almost yellow button, and says that it is designed for mapp gas. I'd love to see your thoughts and if this is any different since your button was red on your ts4000. Also my logo font is yellow.

Thank you for weighing the tanks for fuel consumption. I ran your math a bit further and see that the torches considerably outperformed their model numbers! ie: the TS4000 is designed for 4,000 BTU/Hr and the TS8000 is designed for 8,000 BTU/Hr. I'll be picking up a TS8000 very soon, not because of the additional heat, but because of the adjustability. Will it ignite reliably if the control remains set to about 25%?

"[...] and it's totally worth the extra money." Well, uh... depends what you're using it for. For soldering pipes, for example, the TS8000's giant swirly mess of a flame creates a lot of blow-by heat which just burns everything else around what you're trying to solder. So it's not really worth anything (and I returned me TS8000 shortly after buying it).
