OVERVIEW

Optimize Your Shielding Gas Coverage

Achieving a defect-free weld starts with proper shielding gas coverage, and the Techniweld FM2AQRW15100 Flowmeter Regulator is the tool you need to ensure consistency. Unlike simple dial-gauge regulators that measure pressure and estimate flow, this flowmeter uses a variable area tube to measure the actual volume of gas moving to your torch. This results in far greater accuracy, helping you prevent common issues like porosity and oxidation caused by inadequate shielding, while also preventing gas waste caused by excessive flow settings.

Designed for the Welder
The FM2AQRW15100 is built to be user-friendly and rugged. The large, easy-to-read flow tube allows you to verify your settings at a glance, even from a distance. The adjustment knob is designed for fine-tuning, so you can dial in the perfect 15-20 CFH for standard MIG work or adjust as needed for specialized TIG applications. The CGA 580 connection connects directly to your Argon or Argon/CO2 mix cylinder, providing a secure and leak-free seal.

Durability You Can Trust
Welding shops can be tough environments, and equipment needs to withstand the daily grind. This flowmeter features a solid brass body and a protective housing for the flow tube, minimizing the risk of damage from knocks and drops. The internal diaphragm is designed for stable pressure regulation, smoothing out fluctuations from the cylinder to deliver a steady stream of gas to the nozzle. This stability is crucial for maintaining a stable arc and a clean weld bead.

Versatile Application
Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, this regulator handles the job. It is compatible with pure Argon for TIG welding aluminum or stainless, as well as Argon/CO2 blends for MIG welding steel. By providing accurate control, it helps you maintain the optimal flow rate recommended for your specific wire diameter, cup size, and welding position, ultimately leading to cleaner welds and less rework.

FAQ

A regulator reduces high cylinder pressure to a lower working pressure, while a flowmeter measures the actual volume of gas flowing. This unit combines both, regulating the pressure and then measuring the flow in CFH for precise control.

This unit has a CGA 580 inlet, which fits Argon, Helium, and Nitrogen cylinders. Pure CO2 cylinders typically use a CGA 320 connection. To use this with pure CO2, you would need a CGA 580 to CGA 320 adapter, though it is calibrated primarily for Argon.

The regulator is designed to handle standard high-pressure cylinders up to 3000 PSIG.

The flow tube is made of durable polycarbonate and is protected by an outer impact-resistant cover to prevent breakage during normal shop use.

The outlet is a standard 5/8"-18 RH Female connection, which fits most standard inert gas welding hoses.

Yes, the unit features a needle valve knob that allows you to adjust the flow rate from 0 to 60 CFH.

Yes, it includes a pressure gauge that indicates the amount of pressure remaining in the cylinder, helping you know when it is time to refill.

Yes, it can be used for back-purging applications provided the flow range (0-60 CFH) is sufficient for the pipe or vessel size.
