1001-0046 - Victor Replacement Flowmeter Body 1001-0046

Technical Overview of the Victor 1001-0046 Flowmeter Body

The Victor 1001-0046 Flowmeter Body is a critical replacement component designed for Victor gas regulation systems. Manufactured to the exacting standards of Victor Technologies, this body serves as the central structural housing for variable area flowmeters used in industrial welding applications. Constructed from high-quality brass, the body provides the necessary mechanical strength to withstand the internal pressures associated with shielding gas delivery while offering excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear.

In a typical flowmeter assembly, the body houses the metering tube and float mechanism, acting as the conduit for gas flow from the regulator to the welding torch. The precision machining of the 1001-0046 ensures that all threaded connections—including inlet and outlet ports—align perfectly with existing fittings, ensuring a leak-free seal. This is paramount in maintaining the accuracy of the flow reading (SCFH or LPM) and preventing the waste of expensive shielding gases like Argon, Helium, or CO2 mixes. As an OEM part, it adheres to the original dimensional tolerances required for the safe operation of Victor flowmeters.

Maintenance professionals and equipment technicians utilize this part to refurbish damaged flowmeters where the main housing has suffered impact damage, thread stripping, or stress cracking, avoiding the cost of replacing the entire regulator assembly. By utilizing genuine Victor parts, operators ensure compliance with safety standards and maintain the reliability that the Victor brand is known for in the metal fabrication industry.
