MIG GAS SAVER INFORMATION

The Typical MIG Welder Wastes Over 70% of Shielding Gas Used

- See Proof and Why

This page will help navigate this web site regarding  MIG gas waste and how our patented Gas Saver System (GSS) solves shielding gas waste and improves weld start quality.

The Blast of Shielding Gas Exiting a MIG Torch at a Weld Start Causes Problems:

1) Significant Shielding Gas Waste

2) Inferior Weld Quality Since Air is  "Pulled" Into The Turbulent Shielding Gas Stream

Our Gas Saver System (GSS) eliminates gas surge problems.

  1. What is the Ideal Gas Delivery System?

  2. Is the Main Reason for Gas Surge Hose Expansion?  No Hose Expansion May Only Cause 13%; See What it is!

  3. Why is Enough Extra Gas Needed at MIG Weld Starts?

  4. How does Automatic Flow Compensation Work and Why a Minimum of 25 psi Regulator Pressure is Needed to Achieve it?

  5. What is the Payback of the Gas Saver System? Note: It is Usually Measured in Weeks However When Adding New Welding Machines, it Could Be Immediate!- -See Payback Calculations and "Just Do It !"

  6. Why is My Existing Gas Delivery Hose a Wasteful 1/4 " ID?

  7. Why do Simple Orifices Not Work to reduce gas waste?  Why they often give a False Savings Impression!

  8. What problems occur if Low Pressure Devices are used?

  9. What About Using Orifices To Control Flow at a Pipeline Gas Supply?

  10. The Gas Surge Exiting My MIG Nozzle at the Weld Start Only Lasts a Short Time-Why is That A Problem with Weld Quality?
