How Long Can You Wait to Reduce Your Shielding Gas Waste??

All of the major gas produces have raised prices 30 to 40% in the past few years.  With the high cost of fuel for delivery and increased cost of power for production, expect that to continue.  Even in this tough economy, Air Products raised  prices of industrial gases Oct. 1, 2009.   Their Press Release said;  "Due to higher costs of running plants with weaker demand."   Argon increased 4 to 8 %, Helium 5  to 10%.    

Isn't it time to reduce waste?  

There are simple ways to calculate how much shielding gas your wasting.  Our customers find that by using our low cost patented products they reduce total gas use by 40 to 50% (or more) while improving weld start quality.  Welders appreciate the benefits and don't feel constrained by devices that limit their ability to make quality welds and often save little gas!

Two published articles by knowledgeable welding authorities indicate the average MIG user consumes from 2 1/2 to 6 times the amount of shielding gas they should.  We have found similar values.
