AW tips are for the AW torches,
SW tips are for the SW & WH200 torches,
MW tips are for the MW & WH100 torches.

The above tip letter codes are followed by three digits:

The first digit indicates the gas:
2 = Oxy/Acetelyne
4 = Oxy/Propane or Oxy/Natural Gas

The second and third digits indicate the orifice size, and though there
is no strict scale that they follow, a smaller set of numbers (01)
indicates a smaller orifice.

Thus, an AW202 is an OA tip for thin stuff, made for the AW (~aircraft)
torch.
