OVERVIEW

Precise Gas Control for Plasma Welding Systems

The Thermal Dynamics 5-2997 Flowmeter is a critical replacement component specifically engineered for the Ultima 150 Plasma Welding System. In precision plasma arc welding (PAW), the accuracy of gas flow—both for the plasma gas (orifice gas) and the shielding gas—is paramount to achieving high-quality welds. This OEM flowmeter ensures that operators can accurately monitor and adjust flow rates to meet specific welding procedure specifications (WPS).

Manufactured to the original equipment standards of Thermal Dynamics, this flowmeter guarantees compatibility and performance. It features a clear, easy-to-read scale that allows for quick visual verification of gas settings, reducing the risk of porosity or arc instability caused by incorrect flow rates. The unit is constructed from durable materials resistant to the typical wear and tear found in industrial manufacturing environments.

Failure of a flowmeter in a plasma welding console can lead to inconsistent arc starting, poor penetration, or oxidation of the weld pool. Replacing a damaged or cloudy flowmeter with the 5-2997 restores the machine's functionality, allowing for the precise control required in aerospace, automotive, and medical device fabrication where the Ultima 150 is commonly utilized.

FAQ

This flowmeter is specifically designed for the Thermal Dynamics Ultima 150 Plasma Welding System.

Yes, this is a genuine Thermal Dynamics (ESAB) replacement part, ensuring exact fit and function.

The Ultima 150 utilizes flowmeters for both; please verify your machine's parts diagram to ensure this specific SKU corresponds to the gas channel you are replacing, though it is often used for the primary gas circuits.

Signs include physical cracks, gas leaks around the tube, a stuck ball float, or a cloudy tube that makes reading the scale impossible.

Yes, if you are comfortable performing maintenance on welding power sources. Always ensure the machine is disconnected from power and gas supplies before opening the case.

Plasma welding relies on a precise balance of gas pressure and flow to constrict the arc. Inaccurate flow can lead to electrode erosion, nozzle damage, or poor weld quality.
