1000-0182 - Victor FM 372 Station Flowmeter for Argon/CO2/Helium

Precision Shielding Gas Control for Professional Welders

Achieving the perfect weld requires more than just a steady hand and a good machine; it demands consistent and precise shielding gas delivery. The Victor FM 372 Flowmeter is the professional welder's choice for shop environments utilizing piped gas systems. Designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty fabrication shops, this flowmeter replaces fragile glass tubes with virtually unbreakable Lexan, ensuring that accidental bumps and knocks don't put your equipment out of commission. Whether you are welding stainless steel with Argon, mild steel with CO2, or aluminum with Helium mixtures, this versatile tool gives you the control you need.

Accurate Readings, Every Time
One of the biggest challenges in gas delivery is maintaining accuracy when line restrictions or long torch cables create back pressure. The Victor FM 372 is fully back-pressure compensated, meaning the flow rate you see on the gauge is the actual flow rate at the nozzle. This eliminates the guesswork often associated with uncompensated flow gauges, helping you prevent porosity and oxidation defects caused by inadequate gas coverage. The clear, easy-to-read scale is marked for Argon, CO2, and Helium, allowing you to switch between processes quickly without changing equipment.

Built for the Shop
This unit is designed for "station drops"—points where gas is accessed from a central piping system. It connects easily via a 1/4" NPT fitting and is calibrated for the standard 25 PSIG line pressure found in most industrial setups. The smooth adjustment knob allows for fine-tuning of gas flow, from delicate TIG applications requiring 10-15 SCFH up to high-flow demands. By investing in a high-quality Victor flowmeter, you ensure that your shielding gas is delivered efficiently and accurately, saving money on wasted gas and reducing post-weld cleanup time.
