I bought peashooter flow measuring device, cost £7.00 of weldequip shop, really is very good simply put on end of nozzle, POWER OFF, press trigger gas goes through tube and measure flow at nozzle, welding has improved I now focus on other issues such as my speed and wire speed. Will get you pic if you need?
The gas should come on when the trigger is pressed
Hello
Are there any guidelines regarding optimum co2 flow rates?
Not sure if I am using too much or not enough. Have had reg set at 15 ltr/min and flow meter at 5/min on used cebora 130 mig welder.
Any advice?
Many Thanks
I notice in the cebora manual (link in my earlier post) that is says set the flow rate to 2litres a minute. Surely that's a typo and they meant 12, at least that's closer to 10lpm.
Tend to agree with you there, welds would look like tarmac - save gas though
Got a pea shooter which I check with every time before I start a session.
That was an option I considered but one of these just seemed easier
More accurate than the gauges on your regulator but still don't tell you whats coming out of the end of the torch
hi stevads61, newbie to forum, i,m just setting up a cebora 130 and the gas control is on the trigger, theres 2 o rings. take torch apart again, dont lose spring, push trigger rod out replace o rings and reassemble, simplesRight here we go:
Tried to clean - stripped gun and WD'd - no change. Ran out of gas today, would have been able to finish my work with the extra gas that I would have had if not for the 'constant gas' problem.
Swiss tony: thanks, will likely have to get one of those from weldequip.
Sapperb: interesting thread link.
Cannot see any such gas solenoid on this welder so hoping it is self contained in the neck assy. Will mail weldequip and see if he can shed any light.
Thanks fella's
