I know it's a "how long is a piece of string" question but I reckon I've only done about 6 feet of welding, let's be generous and say 8 feet and am horrified to see that the bottle is nearly empty.
I am running it at about 5 to 6 L/min. It is a brand new bottle from Adams with a brand new Wescol regulator on a brand new Portamig 185. I have checked the main valve for a leak, none detected. I am unused to these little bottles having always had a big one before but wasn't expecting it to empty itself quite so quickly. Does it sound odd to you or about right?
Edit: just to be sure, I think I'm right to call it a "Y", it stands about 2' 3" tall.
