5-2998 - Thermal Dynamics 5-2998 Shield Gas Flowmeter for Ultima 150

Precise Shielding Gas Control for Plasma Welding

The Thermal Dynamics 5-2998 Shield Flowmeter is a critical replacement component designed exclusively for the Ultima 150 Plasma Welding System. In the precision-demanding world of plasma welding (PAW), the control of shielding gas is paramount to achieving defect-free welds. This flowmeter is the specific OEM part used on the front panel of the Ultima 150 console to regulate and monitor the flow rate of the outer shielding gas, which protects the molten weld pool from atmospheric contamination.

Manufactured to Thermal Dynamics' rigorous standards, this flowmeter ensures that your machine's readings are accurate and reliable. Using non-OEM or generic flowmeters can lead to incorrect flow rates, resulting in porosity, oxidation, or unstable arcs. The 5-2998 provides a clear, easy-to-read scale that allows operators to dial in the exact cubic feet per hour (CFH) or liters per minute (LPM) required for their specific welding procedure specification (WPS).

Replacing a damaged or clouded flowmeter is essential for maintaining the operational integrity of your plasma welding setup. Over time, flowmeters can become difficult to read due to shop grime or accidental impact. Installing a fresh 5-2998 restores the operator's ability to monitor process variables instantly. As a genuine replacement part, it fits perfectly into the existing mounting cutout and connects seamlessly to the internal gas lines of the Ultima 150, minimizing downtime during maintenance.

Whether you are welding exotic alloys, stainless steel, or titanium, the stability of your shielding gas envelope starts with accurate metering. Trust the Thermal Dynamics 5-2998 to deliver the performance and durability expected from a leader in plasma arc technology.
