Can I use an argon regulator for MIG gas?

It’s important to make sure the Delivery Gauge reads Flow Rate as most Mig and Tig Welders will quote a recommended delivery in Litres per Minute. An Argon Regulator should also be used for Argon/Co2 Mixed gases.

What kind of regulator do you use for MIG welding?

Argon/CO2 Regulator – 4000PSI Gas MIG TIG Flow Meter Regulator. The Argon CO2 gas welding regulator is designed to suit the MIG and TIG welders. The brass regulator body and CGA -580 inlet make it an excellent product for welding. The regulator is built to provide accurate regulation of gas flow.

What PSI should welding gas be for MIG?

3 to 8 psi
MIG shielding gas flow is set and measured as cubic feet of gas per hour (CFH) NOT pressure in psi. Unlike oxyfuel welding and cutting, MIG gas flow rates are very low. The gas pressure in the hose going into a wire feeder/welder, while welding, typically varies from 3 to 8 psi.

What is the best gas regulator?

Are CO2 and argon regulators the same?

Generally, the Carbon Dioxide regulator is the same as Argon/Co2 regulators. The main difference besides the looks is the fitting of the regulator. Instead of being with male thread as it is argon regulators, for Co2 it is female. That is because the Carbon Dioxide cylinders have a female fitting.

What is the best gas for MIG welding?

A 75/25 argon and CO2 blend is typically considered to be the best overall option for MIG welding, so that’s our top recommendation at Vern Lewis Welding Supply. A “tri-mix” of helium, argon, and CO2 is also sometimes used.

What should MIG gas be set at?

The polarity connections are usually found on the inside of the machine. Set gas flow. Turn on the shielding gas and set the flow rate to 20 to 25 cubic feet per hour.

How many PSI is a full argon tank?

120psi (on the main gauge that shows tank pressure) for Argon/CO2 mix should be about empty. Those are high pressure tanks, like an oxygen tank, and I’d expect to see at least 1500 psi on a full one. Straight CO2 are a lower pressure tank, normally they’re under 1000 psi when full.

How do you fix a leaking gas regulator?

Gas Leaks. If your gas regulator is continually being tripped, you may have a gas leak in your hose. Shut off the valve on the gas tank and remove the regulator and hose from the tank. Dip the regulator into a solution of soap and water and reattach the regulator and hose to the tank.
