Sheildign gas pressure

[J-Dogg]

Hey Guys, I finally got a regulator and my tank filled for my wire feed, and I was wondering what you guys recomend for pressure on mild steel?

Thanks, Jared

The general recommendation is between 15 and 25 cfh. I run the minimum I can get away with. Since I weld in a draft free environment this ends up being 15cfh.

Sorry I meant CFH, Also anyone know what the recomended pressure is for a victor oxy propane torch with i think a 003 tip?


Thanks for the help, Jared

i run my MIG at 15.
as for the victor i run mine at 5 acet. and 15 oxy for cutting and about 3to5 on both for welding.
you should have gotten a book with your torch that should tell you the recomanded setting for the diferent tips.
i'll see if i can dig mine up and see what it said for 003 tip.:)

If you are running propane on a victor. look in your book for GPN tips in the chart. I can look tuesday. You do know you need a different cutting tip to run propane?:confused:
