OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Flow for Perfect Welds

Every welder knows that shielding gas coverage is the invisible key to a quality weld. The Victor FM 135 Argon/Helium Flowmeter takes the guesswork out of your gas settings, giving you a clear, easy-to-read visual of your flow rate in Standard Cubic Feet per Hour (SCFH). Whether you are laying down sensitive TIG beads on aluminum with Helium or running high-production MIG on steel with Argon, this flowmeter ensures you are using exactly the right amount of gas—no more, no less.

Built Tough for the Shop Floor

Let's face it: welding shops are tough on equipment. Tools get dropped, banged, and dragged. That is why Victor ditched the fragile glass tubes found on cheaper units and built the FM 135 with high-impact Lexan. It stays clear so you can read the ball, but it won't shatter if a cable swings into it. This durability means less downtime replacing broken parts and more time under the hood. The unit features a standard 9/16"-18 RH female inlet, making it compatible with most standard gas hoses and regulator outlets used in the industry.

Stop Wasting Gas

Gas is expensive. The Victor FM 135 is calibrated to operate at 25 PSI, which is a "low surge" pressure setting. This design helps prevent that massive "whoosh" of gas you hear every time you pull the trigger, which not only wastes expensive Argon but can actually pull air into your weld zone and cause porosity. By smoothing out the flow delivery, this flowmeter helps you produce cleaner starts and saves money on every cylinder. It is a professional-grade upgrade for any serious fabricator looking to dial in their process.

FAQ

The Victor FM 135 is calibrated to operate at an inlet pressure of 25 PSIG. This lower pressure helps minimize gas surge at the start of a weld.

No. This is a flowmeter, not a regulator. It must be attached to the outlet of a regulator or a low-pressure pipeline drop that supplies 25 PSI. Connecting it directly to a high-pressure cylinder is dangerous.

The scale is marked for Argon and Helium. It can be used for other inert gases if a conversion factor is applied, but the direct readings are for Argon and Helium.

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

No, both the inner flow tube and the outer cover tube are made of impact-resistant Lexan, making them much more durable than glass for shop environments.

The inlet connection is a 9/16"-18 RH Female (CGA 032), and the outlet is typically a 5/8"-18 RH Female, compatible with standard inert gas hoses.

Low surge prevents the initial blast of gas when the welding trigger is pulled. This saves gas and prevents turbulence that can suck atmospheric air into the weld puddle, causing defects.
