Argon Flow meter

[matteh99]

I knocked over my argon tank and broke the flow meter part of my regular so no more TIG welding until I get it fixed or buy a new one.

Is it possible to just get the flow meter part of the regulator or do I have to get the whole thing?

For one that tank should be secured you are lucky it did not turn into a missile. Either chained to the wall or chained to a suitable cart . you got lucky
I would just buy another flow meter a quality one

htp sells some nice looking flowmeter/regulator that are a hair under $30.00

i would stick to a victor or harris you get what you pay for

If a bottle of argon fell over on me my butt would still be puckered.Glad nothing else happened.Could have been a lot worse.

I would check with longevity and see if they will sell one of theirs. The one that came on my 200 dx works great and the whole system holds pressure for well over a week. With my miller it would only hold pressure for about 4 hours.

I bought a used victor flow meter on ebay. I think it will fit on the other part of my regulator which is still fine.

I may have to buy a whole new regulator but I figured I would try that.
