OVERVIEW

Reliable Replacement Flowmeter for Plasma Systems

Keep your welding and cutting equipment operating smoothly with the Thermal Dynamics 8-6801 Flowmeter. This 150mm flowmeter is an essential replacement part for monitoring fluid or gas dynamics within your machine. Featuring a clear 0-150 reference scale, it provides the visual feedback necessary to ensure your system is circulating coolant or gas at the manufacturer's specified rates. A functioning flowmeter is the first line of defense against equipment failure due to inadequate cooling or flow.

When a flowmeter becomes clouded, cracked, or stuck, it compromises your ability to monitor the health of your machine. The 8-6801 is designed as a direct replacement for existing Thermal Dynamics assemblies, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. The 150mm scale length offers superior readability compared to compact gauges, allowing for precise adjustments and verification. This is particularly important in automated or high-amperage plasma cutting where precise flow rates directly impact consumable life and cut quality.

Welders Supply understands the importance of minimizing downtime. By stocking genuine replacement parts like the 8-6801, we help you maintain the integrity of your valuable equipment. This flowmeter is robustly constructed to resist the wear and tear of daily shop use. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or troubleshooting a flow error code, installing a fresh, clear flowmeter restores confidence in your machine's operation. Ensure your plasma cutter's cooling system is flowing correctly with this high-quality reference gauge.

Product Highlights:

  • Direct Fit: Engineered for specific Thermal Dynamics systems.
  • Clear Visibility: High-contrast scale for quick checks.
  • System Protection: Helps prevent overheating by verifying flow.

FAQ

The 0-150 scale is a reference scale used to calibrate or verify flow rates according to the equipment's technical manual. It may not correspond directly to a standard unit like LPM or GPH without the manufacturer's conversion chart.

Yes, the 8-6801 is a genuine Thermal Dynamics OEM replacement part, ensuring proper fit and performance with their equipment.

The flowmeter features a 150mm long tube, which allows for a larger, easier-to-read scale compared to shorter compact flowmeters.

This specific part number is typically used in cooling systems (liquid) or specific gas measuring kits. You should check your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct part for your specific fluid application.

Installation typically involves disconnecting the fluid lines from the old meter and securing the new one in the panel mount or bracket. Always ensure the machine is powered off and depressurized before servicing.

Reference scales allow the manufacturer to use the same metering tube for different fluids or pressures, where the user sets the flow to a specific number ('Reference') defined in the operation manual.

A cracked flowmeter can lead to coolant or gas leaks and inaccurate readings. It should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the torch or power supply.

Typically, the 8-6801 includes the flowmeter tube assembly. Fittings and hoses are usually sold separately or reused from the existing installation unless specified otherwise.
