How far do you open an Argon tank valve? - WeldingWeb
2013年4月1日 · It's a simple stupid question. O2 tanks have double seals and should be opened fully to prevent leaks. Acet tanks should only be opened partway to allow easy and rapid closing if need be. Does an argon tank have the same valve system as an O2 bottle? Or can it be opened a half turn and call it good?

Leaking argon cylinder?? Help please - WeldingWeb
2014年2月4日 · On a CGA-580, the seal is between the mating cone shaped flare surfaces. If there is a deep scratch in either one of them, that would make a leak. If the damage is in the cylinder's valve, the supplier should replace it. If the damage is in the stem of your regulator, you can buy a replacement.
How low do let your argon tank go before refill? - WeldingWeb
2008年9月16日 · You still have more then a 1/4 tank left. I don't change out until it is empty. Of course as was already stated, if it is close to a weekend then get it filled. Or as is more common get it changed out for another tank. That is what is common for most LWS. Tim Beeker.
how does a argon tank get contaminated - WeldingWeb
2012年11月14日 · Re: how does a argon tank get contaminated. Originally Posted by DSW. As the cylinder warms up, the gas inside is actually less than the gas outside in volume and you get a slight negative pressure. This causes air to get sucked in thru the valve that was left open. Last time I checked, gas expands as it warms.
Transporting Argon in Closed Vehicle - WeldingWeb
2021年10月19日 · Re: Transporting Argon in Closed Vehicle. Shut the valve off tight and the only real risk is the weight of it in a sudden stop. Stand it up in the rear passenger floorboard or other arraignment that will not be likely to hit you in a sudden stop/accident and go do your business. Reply. 10-20-2021 #21.
How low do you run your argon tank? - WeldingWeb
2013年4月2日 · The easy way to double check is to try and do a few practice welds on known goo material and see how they go. Cheap regs frequently don't read the low end of the HP gauge very accurately. Mine usually will "run out" with the gauge reading somewhere around 200 psi or so.

2011年8月3日 · The thing about transporting bottles horizontally, you may or may not know, is this. An argon bottle can be transported lying down. No problem. Since nobody else has said it, an acetylene bottle, if transported on it's side, but be allowed time to settle before use.
What PSI to change Argon tank? - WeldingWeb
2019年3月14日 · I clean my surface before welding with a flap disc then wipe it with acetone I'm getting tiny sparks and craters, so I increased the gas regulator pressure from around 15 to 25. Still the same, usually at the end of the welds. My post flow is 10 seconds. Then I noticed the pressure gauge on the tank is at 10 PSI.
