OVERVIEW

Technical Overview of the Flame Tech Dual Argon Flowmeter

The Flame Tech 200-FL-AR-60-580 is a precision-engineered dual flowmeter and regulator combination designed to optimize gas management in industrial welding environments. This unit is specifically constructed to facilitate the simultaneous supply of shielding gas to two separate outputs from a single high-pressure cylinder. It is compatible with Argon, CO2, and Argon/CO2 mixtures, making it a versatile component for MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) processes. The core of the device features a machined brass body, selected for its mechanical strength and resistance to galling and corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding shop conditions.

Technically, the regulator stage is preset to a delivery pressure of 50 PSIG. This fixed pressure is optimal for maintaining stable flow rates through the variable area flowmeters. Each flowmeter tube is calibrated with dual scales, providing direct readouts for both Argon and Carbon Dioxide in Standard Cubic Feet per Hour (SCFH). The flow range extends from 10 to 60 SCFH, accommodating fine adjustments for delicate TIG work as well as higher flow requirements for heavy-duty MIG applications. The flow tubes themselves are manufactured from high-impact polycarbonate, a material chosen to eliminate the breakage risks associated with traditional glass tubes while maintaining optical clarity.

The dual-output configuration is controlled via independent needle valves located at the base of each flow tube. This allows operators to set distinct flow rates for each line; for example, one line can be set to 15 SCFH for a TIG torch while the second line delivers 10 SCFH for a back-purge setup on stainless steel piping. The inlet connection is a standard CGA 580, compatible with pure Argon and most inert gas mixtures. The unit also includes a high-pressure gauge rated up to 4000 PSI to monitor remaining cylinder pressure. By integrating the regulator and dual flowmeters into a compact, lightweight assembly, Flame Tech reduces the cantilevered weight on the cylinder valve, minimizing the risk of leakages or structural damage during cylinder transport.

FAQ

The flow range is 10 to 60 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour), suitable for most standard MIG and TIG applications.

Yes, each flowmeter has its own adjustment knob, allowing you to set different flow rates for each line or shut one off completely.

It is designed for Argon, CO2, and Argon/CO2 mixtures. The flow tubes have calibrated scales for both Argon and CO2.

The inlet connection is CGA 580, which is the standard fitting for Argon, Nitrogen, and Helium cylinders.

The flow tubes and outer covers are made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, making them much more durable than traditional glass tubes.

Absolutely. The dual outlet design is ideal for back purging; you can run your torch off one line and your purge hose off the other.

The regulator is preset to an output pressure of 50 PSIG to ensure consistent flow through the meters.

No, this product is the regulator and flowmeter assembly only. Gas hoses must be purchased separately.
