OVERVIEW

Troubleshoot Porosity and Save Gas

Are you struggling with weld porosity even though your regulator is set correctly? The issue might be a restriction in your line or a leak you haven't found. The PWGFT MIG Gas Flow Checker is the quickest way to know exactly how much shielding gas is coming out of your torch. Unlike the gauge on your tank, which only measures what is leaving the cylinder, this handheld tester measures the real-world flow right at the nozzle where it matters most.

Using the tester is incredibly easy. Simply release the tension on your wire drive rolls (to stop wire feeding), hold the rubberized opening of the tester over your MIG nozzle or TIG cup, and trigger the gas. The ball inside the tube will rise to indicate your exact flow rate in Cubic Feet per Hour (CFH). The scale reads from 0 to 50 CFH, making it perfect for standard steel, stainless, and aluminum welding setups.

Built from durable, break-resistant composite materials, this tool is tough enough to live in your toolbox. It works with all common shielding gases including Argon, CO2, and Helium mixtures. Whether you are setting up a new machine, diagnosing a gas flow problem, or just want to double-check your settings to save money on wasted gas, this flow checker is a must-have accessory for every welder.

FAQ

Place the rubber opening over your welding nozzle to create a seal, then trigger the gas flow (disengage wire feed first). Hold the tube vertically and read the level of the floating ball.

The scale is calibrated in CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour), which is the standard unit for welding gas flow. The 'Cfm' in the product title is a common industry abbreviation often used interchangeably in casual conversation, but the scale is 0-50 CFH.

Yes, as long as the tester's opening can form a seal against your TIG cup, it will accurately measure Argon flow for TIG welding.

Regulators measure flow at the tank. If the tester at the nozzle reads lower, you likely have a leak in the hose, a restriction in the liner, or a clogged diffuser.

It is calibrated for Argon, CO2, and Helium, making it suitable for almost all MIG and TIG shielding gas mixtures.

The tube is made of a durable, impact-resistant composite plastic designed to survive drops in a shop environment.

The scale goes up to 50 CFH. Most standard MIG/TIG welding is done between 15 and 35 CFH.
