Shielding gas setting

The shielding gas flow rate from the welding gun is set according to the application, weld joint, gas type and gas nozzle shape and size. The flow rate should be measured at the welding gun nozzle via a rotameter before welding. Normally the measure is between 10 – 20 liters per minute for various welding applications.

Handle shielding gas bottle with care. Assess the risks associated with handling and using compressed gas. Always use a cylinder transport carriage and secure the cylinder safely.

If you have not welded for a while, the gas may have been evaporated from the subfeeder. In this case, release gas into the system before welding.
