A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air. They are superficially similar in shape and construction to a Hair Dryer , though they run at much higher temperatures. They are often found in Physics , Materials Science , Chemistry , Engineering , and other types of laboratory or shop settings. Heat guns can be used to dry and strip Paint , apply Heat Shrink Tubing , dry out damp Wood , bend and weld Plastic , soften Adhesive s, and thaw frozen pipes. They typically output air at temperatures ranging from 100-550° C (200-1000° F ) with some hotter models running around 760°C (1400°F). Some have a rest, so they can be activated and placed on a workbench, which frees the operator's hand. Heat guns can have nozzles which deflect their air for various purposes, such as concentrating the heat on one area, or thawing a pipe without heating up the wall behind. |
