Understanding and Setting MIG Gas Flow Rates (Part Number WAT-UGF)

Designed for Welders. Includes:

Reducing Gas Waste and Improving Weld Start Quality

This Self Study Learning Program is Easy to Follow

This Self Study Course Covers:

	Shielding Gas Safety Issues
	What MIG Shielding Gas Does
	Setting Minimum Flow Rates
	Discussion of Turbulence
	Setting Maximum Flow Rates (They are not much higher than the typical recommended flow rates! Includes a graphic - not in this web site - which can be shared with co-workers to prove high flow rates create problems.)
	Gas Volume Versus Pressure
	Shielding Gas Waste
	Solution to Gas Waste and Weld Start Quality Improvement
	Production Examples of Shielding Gas Savings
	Why High Pressure is Used (Discusses why it has been since MIG and TIG welding were invented!)
	Cost of Shielding Gas Leaks
	Gas Leaking Out Means Air Leaks In! (Includes several pages covering TIG and MIG asphyxiation hazards due to leaks)

This 61 page "Self Study" program is supplied as a PDF download. All that is needed is a FREE Adobe Reader or similar PDF reader.
