The Manager of Welding R&D for the Leading Shielding Gas Producer, Praxair, Says Using Over 50 CFH Gas Flow - "Creates Weld Defects."

bullet

Osborne Reynolds in 1893 Found That  a Clearly Defined Velocity Exists Where Gas Flow Goes From a Smooth Laminar Flow Mode to Chaotic Turbulent Flow.

bullet

In Pipeline Shielding Gas Supply, Pressure Changes Cause Significant Flow Changes.  In Addition, if Flowmeters Are Used, Many Are Calibrated at 25 psi and Pipeline Pressures Are Often 50 psi.  In That Situation a Flow Set at 31 CFH Will Actually Be Flowing 40 CFH- SEE WHY.

Why Orifices Placed at Wire Feeder to Control Flow Are Often Justifiably Rejected By Welders

bullet

Using an Orifice to Control Flow at Pipeline Drop is "Fine."  Combined with The Gas Saver System Sufficient Extra Gas is Provided at the Weld Start to Purge the Weld Start Area.  Pressure is Maintained to Retain "Automatic Flow Control."

bullet

Gas Control System Must Provide Some Extra Gas at Weld Start

bullet

Pressure  in Flow Control Devices and in Pipelines Must be Over 25 psi to Provide an Important Feature the  Inventors of MIG and TIG and Early Designers of Shielding Gas Control Understood and Used and Some Have Forgotten - "AUTOMATIC FLOW COMPENSATION !"
