SH Carbide Burs – Flame, the Code Decoded

SH means flame with radius end. One page to decode the code – and the size ladder behind it.

Design and Construction

SH is the industry code for flame shape with radius end. This page decodes the code: what SH covers, how it differs from SL (ball-nose cone) and SM (taper), and the size ladder behind the letters.

How It Works

Know the code, know the geometry: SH always means the same flame profile across suppliers and sizes – ordering by code removes ambiguity.

Applications

Purchasing standardisation, cross-supplier consistency, training, documentation.

Field Cases

  • Purchasing: SH codes speced across two suppliers matched geometry exactly.
  • Documentation: work instructions reference SH codes instead of photos.
  • Training: one chart taught the whole code system.

Performance Data

Metric Value / Observation
Code SH = flame with radius end
Neighbours SL = ball-nose cone; SM = taper
Size ladder SH-3 to SH-12 class range
Ordering By code, like-for-like

Suitable Materials

Steel, cast iron, stainless and non-ferrous metals.

Material Comparison: SH vs SL vs SM – the Neighbouring Codes

Three adjacent codes, three geometries:

Code Geometry Signature Job
SH Flame with radius end Weld beads, curved seams
SL Ball-nose cone Deep internal radii
SM Taper Tapered holes and keyways
