OVERVIEW

Precise Shielding Gas Control for Quality Welds

Every welder knows that porosity is the enemy, and consistent shielding gas coverage is the defense. The Victor FM 137 Flowmeter (1000-0261) gives you the confidence that your gas flow is exactly where it needs to be. Whether you are TIG welding delicate aluminum with Helium or MIG welding steel with Argon, this flowmeter provides clear, accurate readings that help you dial in your process perfectly.

One of the biggest frustrations in the shop is broken equipment. Victor has addressed this by building the FM 137 with high-strength Lexan tubes. If you've ever cracked a flow tube by accidentally knocking it with a workpiece or a cable, you'll appreciate the impact resistance of this unit. It is built to survive the real-world conditions of a welding station. The scale is easy to read, allowing for quick checks and adjustments without squinting through a clouded lens.

This flowmeter is designed to operate at 25 PSIG, which helps minimize the "gas blast" or surge that often happens when you first pull the trigger. By controlling this surge, you not only save money on wasted gas but also reduce turbulence in the weld pool at the arc start. It connects easily to standard gas hoses and regulators. If you are looking to upgrade your gas delivery system for better consistency and durability, the FM 137 is the professional's choice for Argon and Helium applications.

FAQ

The Victor FM 137 is calibrated for Argon and Helium.

No. This is a flowmeter, not a pressure regulator. It requires a pre-regulated inlet pressure of 25 PSIG. Attaching it directly to a high-pressure cylinder (2000+ PSI) is dangerous and will damage the unit.

The flow range for Argon is 15 to 65 SCFH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour).

The flow range for Helium is 40 to 200 SCFH.

The inlet is a 9/16"-18 RH(F) connection, and the outlet is a 5/8"-18 RH(F) connection.

Yes, both the flow tube and the outer cover tube are made of impact-resistant Lexan, designed for severe industrial applications.

Yes, it is pressure compensated for low surge requirements, which helps stabilize gas flow at the start of a weld.

The unit is calibrated to operate at 25 PSIG inlet pressure. Do not exceed this calibrated inlet pressure.
