OVERVIEW

Precision Replacement for Gas Flowmeters

The ESAB 996854 Float (.250) is a critical component for maintaining the accuracy and functionality of your welding gas flowmeters. Designed specifically for compatible ESAB and Victor equipment, this precision-engineered float serves as the visual indicator within the flow tube, allowing operators to read the cubic feet per hour (CFH) or liters per minute (LPM) of shielding gas being delivered to the weld zone.

Over time, flowmeter floats can become stuck, damaged, or lost during maintenance and cleaning. A compromised float can lead to inaccurate flow readings, resulting in either wasted gas (if flow is too high) or poor weld quality due to porosity (if flow is too low). This 0.250-inch diameter float is manufactured to exact weight and size specifications to ensure it corresponds perfectly with the calibration of the flow tube scale.

Whether you are repairing a regulator in a heavy industrial setting or maintaining shop equipment, using genuine OEM parts like the ESAB 996854 ensures that your safety and quality standards are met. It is easily installed during routine regulator maintenance.

Key Features

  • Exact Calibration: Manufactured to specific density and size (.250") to match flow tube scales.
  • Durability: Resistant to corrosion and wear within the gas stream.
  • Visibility: Designed for clear visibility through the flow tube for quick checks.

FAQ

The float has a diameter of 0.250 inches.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, number 996854.

It sits inside the flowmeter tube and rises to indicate the current flow rate of the shielding gas.

No, flowmeters are calibrated to specific float weights and diameters. This is designed for units requiring a .250" float.

It is typically made of stainless steel or a specific alloy designed for corrosion resistance and precise weight.

Installation usually involves removing the top of the flow tube or the tube housing. Consult your regulator's manual for specific disassembly instructions.

Using the wrong size or weight will result in incorrect flow readings, leading to potential weld defects or wasted gas.

No, this SKU is for the replacement float ball only.
