F fingers99 Member Messages 1,246 Oct 14, 2008 #3 There's a guide on the Miller site, but it will be in cfm, rather than lpm. For TIG I always use less than 10, more like 7lpm. Depends a lot on other factors, ceramics, type of weld, and don't forget back purge for stainless. Didn't I post this before?
