Are You Looking For Ways To Conserve Gas At Your Company? As a major supplier of welding and cutting equipment and accessories, our customers inform us of their challenges. Sometimes the challenges are ones we can fix…make their cutting work easier, faster, cleaner, etc. But, sometimes our customers are facing challenges we can’t control, like increases in steel costs, lack of skilled employees, or a shortage of Argon and Helium – two essential gases for most companies that weld. Although we can’t control the shortage of Argon and Helium, we are able to help our customers reduce their gas consumption, from up to 30 to 60%, which can reduce cost and money, and many headaches. Smith, and other suppliers, have developed technology and products that can better regulate gas providing many benefits to customers. Have you considered ways to decrease your gas consumption rather that simply allocating it in your most needed areas? The new flowmeter regulator technologies provide a very accurate gas flow and also increase the flow capacity. This technology also eliminates gas surges, decreasing the amount of gas used. This is especially beneficial to companies that do a lot of tacking and fit-up work where they are frequently stopping and starting the welding arc. The flowmeter technology also provides a significantly better TIG arc start because the operator doesn’t experience the usual blast of gas that can ruin a code TIG weld. In addition, wouldn’t it be convenient to stock and handle fewer gas cylinders for your work? Let me know if you’ve considered this alternative to your gas shortage, as well as any other methods.
