The "Gas Blast" at MIG Weld Starts, Causes Problems:

1) Shielding Gas Waste - Typically Half the Gas Being Used!

2) Inferior Weld Start Quality - Since Air Enters Turbulent Shielding Gas Stream.

Testimonial:

Greg Pepitone sent an email (with pics of his '33) asking a question about MIG shielding gas flow rate.  He ended his email with the following:

"A number of years ago I purchased a Portable Flow Meter, Mud Flap and Gas Saver System. Great products not ever a problem. I did indeed find the Argon gas usage was extended - may I say well done.  Thanks for a great product, it did make a difference and I have recommended it to friends just short of twisting arms. However, the old story about leading a horse to water with some of the hard heads of the world!"

Note, Greg purchased our newly published book  "Advanced Automotive Welding" and emailed; "Thanks for writing the book."

A Perfect Complement to Our GSS to Save Even More Gas is Our Patented Flow Rate Limiter (FRL)

The FRL is our latest gas saving patent.  It simply clamps on to and locks the flowmeter knob.  It does not alter the flowmeter.

  6. What MIG Flow Rate Should be Used?  Also See Video

  7. What is the Payback of the Gas Saver System?

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

  9. Why do Simple Feeder Mounted Orifices Not Work to Reduce Gas Waste?  Why They Give a False Savings Impression!  Also See Video

  10. What Problems Occur if Low Pressure Devices are Used ot Reduce Surge?

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

  12. If on Pipeline Gas Supply What Corrections In Flowmeter Readings Are Needed for Pressure Changes?

  13. What is the Ideal Gas Delivery System? 

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

  15. Is There a Way to Lock the Flow Settings?

  16. Can I use the GSS for TIG?
