This Self Study Learning Program is Easy to Follow

This Self Study Course Covers:
bulletShielding Gas Safety Issues
bulletWhat MIG Shielding Gas Does
bulletSetting Minimum Flow Rates
bulletDiscussion of Turbulence
bulletSetting Maximum Flow Rates (They are not much higher than the typical recommended flow rates!  Includes a graphic - not in this web site - which can be shared with co-workers to prove high flow rates create problems.)
bulletGas Volume Versus Pressure
bulletShielding Gas Waste
bulletSolution to Gas Waste and Weld Start Quality Improvement
bulletProduction Examples of Shielding Gas Savings
bulletWhy High Pressure is Used (Discusses why it has been since MIG and TIG welding were invented!)
bulletCost of Shielding Gas Leaks
bulletGas Leaking Out Means Air Leaks In!  (Includes several pages covering TIG and MIG asphyxiation hazards due to leaks)
