Florence Darlington Technical College Installs 61 Gas Saver Systems *The Many Short and Tack Welds Made in Welding Schools Allow Our Gas Saver System to Reduce Gas Use by Over 50% with Improved Weld Starts!*
Sue, a Welding Instructor, holds Gas Saver Systems ready for installation	One of the welding labs at FDTC in SC. They currently have over 80 students in the welding program	All 61 MIG welders had GSS's installed. They simply replaced the old gas delivery hoses.
The majority of the wire feeders and welders in the school have standard Compressed Gas Association female inert gas fittings (CGA 032;"B".) Our standard *GSS* hose (FB3, FB6 etc.) comes with male CGA 032 "B" fittings preinstalled on both ends. All that is required is to simply unscrew the original gas delivery hose from the gas cylinder regulator/flowmeter to the feeder/welder and screwing in the *GSS.* See below for a few welders that needed different fittings.
Some welders at FDTC had a 1/4 inch hose coming from inside the combined Power /Feeder welder. The gas delivery hose was attached to a barb fitting on the gas solenoid inside the welder. For these units it was a simple matter to cut the original gas hose close to the outside of the welder and use our WAT Splice Connector to install the GSS. A surge flow restrictor is built into the Splice fitting. A *GSS* can be supplied with a CGA fitting on the Gas Supply end and a splice fitting on the Welder end, or visa versa if needed.
Welders or Students Setting Shielding Gas Flow to High? We have measured 150 CFH when the ball is pinned to the top of the flow tube with some regulator/flowmeters! Save Gas and Avoid Excess Gas Flow Pulling Air Into The Shielding Stream. Click on Photo Left for More Information.
OPERATE A WELDING SCHOOL OR WELD TRAINING FACILITY? Great Idea from a person running such a facility. Welds made at these locations are of short duration and include many tack welds. The start surge wastes a great deal of shielding gas. Shielding gas savings can easily exceed 50%. Also, even though duty cycle is low, many cylinders are rented. Since the gas usage is significantly reduced with the Gas Saver System (GSS^TM) a school can get by with fewer cylinders. Simply put two welders on one cylinder and reduce the rental bill ! Super Simple!
You can use a dual regulator flowmeter which allows two welders to operate from the same cylinder. See photo left. Just connect two GSS's to the two outlets and save cylinder rent! Flows can be set independently. You'll be changing cylinders no more frequently than at present. Great idea. Concerned that flows are being set too high? Our Flow Rate Limiter will fit this model!
