I've just bought an argon regulator from a local supplier and it wasn't until I'd fitted it that I noticed the output gauge was calibrated to 10bar. The regulator is labelled 'Argon' (it's a Futuris Futreg 1 SARG-2GT) but it seems to me that this maybe isn't suitable for mig welding - there doesn't appear to be enough control over the low-pressure needed. I can just about get a low-enough flow rate but the meter hardly registers and it's difficult to get an accurate setting.
I've since looked around and most regulators look like they're calibrated in LPM flow rate.
So, is this regulator completely unsuitable?
