OVERVIEW

Rugged Reliability for MIG and TIG Welding

When you are laying down a bead, the last thing you want to worry about is inconsistent gas flow ruining your porosity. The Victor FM 155 Flowmeter is built to give professional welders peace of mind and precision control over their Argon and Helium shielding gases. Whether you are working in a busy fabrication shop or a garage setup, this flowmeter is designed to take a beating and keep on performing. The flow tube isn't fragile glass; it's made from Lexan, the same impact-resistant material used in bulletproof glass, so accidental knocks and drops won't put you out of commission.

Accuracy is key in TIG and MIG welding. If your flow is off, your weld quality suffers. The FM 155 is back-pressure compensated, which means the reading you see on the tube is exactly what is coming out of your nozzle, regardless of how long your hose is or if there's a slight kink in the line. This eliminates the guesswork and helps you dial in the perfect 4-18 SCFH for Argon or 10-50 SCFH for Helium, saving you money on wasted gas while ensuring excellent coverage.

Installation is straightforward for systems set up for 25 PSIG distribution. The 1/4" NPT inlet screws easily into your shop manifold or regulator adapter, and the standard outlet fits your existing gas hoses. Don't settle for fluctuating flow rates; upgrade to the Victor FM 155 and get the consistent, reliable gas delivery your high-quality welds demand.

FAQ

The FM 155 (1000-0257) is specifically calibrated for Argon and Helium.

It measures 4-18 SCFH for Argon and 10-50 SCFH for Helium.

The inlet connection is a 1/4" NPT Male thread, designed for mounting to regulators or manifolds.

No, this is a flowmeter only. It must be used downstream of a regulator that reduces the cylinder pressure to 25 PSIG.

No, the flow tube and outer cover are made of impact-resistant Lexan for superior durability in shop environments.

Yes, the FM 155 is back-pressure compensated to ensure accurate readings even with line restrictions.

This flowmeter is calibrated to operate accurately at an inlet pressure of 25 PSIG.

This unit is ideal if you are running off a shop manifold system or replacing a damaged flowmeter on an existing regulator body.
