K3156-1 - Lincoln Electric Shielding Gas Flow Meter with Control Valve

Enhance Weld Quality with Accurate Flow Control

The Lincoln Electric K3156-1 Flow Meter Kit is a professional-grade accessory designed to take the guesswork out of shielding gas regulation. For professional welders, maintaining the correct flow rate is non-negotiable; too little gas leads to porosity and oxidation, while too much gas can cause turbulence and waste. This flow meter kit provides a precise, easy-to-read solution for monitoring and adjusting the flow rate of shielding gas directly to the gun, ensuring that your weld pool remains perfectly protected.

This kit is specifically scaled to accommodate the industry's standard gases, featuring distinct markings for Argon, CO2, and Argon/CO2 mixtures. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool for shops that switch between different welding processes and materials. The unit includes a manual valve, allowing the operator to dial in the exact cubic feet per hour (CFH) required for the specific application, wire diameter, and nozzle size being used. This level of control is essential for meeting strict welding procedure specifications (WPS).

Installation of the K3156-1 is straightforward, making it a quick upgrade to your welding equipment that yields immediate benefits. By verifying flow rates visually, troubleshooters can quickly rule out gas delivery issues when diagnosing weld defects. The clear tube design allows for instant verification from a distance, ensuring that flow remains constant throughout the welding operation.

Lincoln Electric is synonymous with durability and performance, and this flow meter kit is no exception. It is built to deliver consistent readings over a long service life. Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or performing delicate automotive repairs, the K3156-1 Flow Meter Kit is a critical component for achieving high-quality, defect-free welds. Invest in precision and reliability with this essential gas regulation tool.
