AR/CO₂ Gas Flow Regulator — repeatable flow rates for shielding gas
An AR/CO₂ Gas Flow Regulator from REAL GAZ focuses on one thing: delivering the shielding gas at a defined number of litres per minute.
Where a standard pressure regulator only shows pressure, a flow regulator lets the welder set and read the real consumption.
Where a standard pressure regulator only shows pressure, a flow regulator lets the welder set and read the real consumption.
Typical MAG welding uses between 10 and 20 litres per minute, depending on wire diameter, current and draughts. Too little flow lets air reach the pool and causes porosity, while too much wastes gas and creates turbulence. A flow regulator with a clear scale removes the guesswork and helps shops control gas use per metre of weld.
Gas quality conforms to EN ISO 14175, equipment design draws on EN ISO 2503, and traceability supports ISO 9001-style quality systems at your plant.
Good flow practice saves gas and improves results. As a guide, a gas lens or large nozzle may need a little more flow than a standard nozzle, and draughts on site often call for an extra two or three litres per minute together with a windshield. Record the flow used for each welding procedure so that it can be repeated. Check the hose for leaks by closing the torch and watching the float or gauge settle. A pre-flow of one second before arc strike and a short post-flow protect the weld start and finish, and many modern machines allow both to be adjusted from the control panel.
🏭 Where Ar/CO₂ Flow Regulators Are Used
- ⚙️ Pipe and tank welding — consistent flow protects long root and fill passes outdoors;
- 🏗️ Site erection work — adjustable flow compensates for wind and shelter conditions;
- 📊 Gas consumption audits — readable flow figures let managers cost the shielding gas per job;
- 🚀 Aluminium and stainless trials — different mixtures are tested at precisely recorded flows;
