Are you struggling with porosity in your welds even though your regulator says you have plenty of gas? You might be losing shielding gas before it ever reaches your torch. The ESAB Flow Guard is the simple, pocket-sized solution to one of the most common welding headaches. This "peashooter" style flow meter lets you check exactly how much gas is coming out of your MIG or TIG nozzle, giving you the truth that your regulator might be hiding.
Welding gas is expensive, and wasting it hurts your bottom line. Many welders crank up their regulators just to be safe, blowing through tanks faster than necessary. With the Flow Guard, you can dial in your flow to the exact amount you need—no more, no less. By optimizing your gas usage, this little tool can pay for itself in just a few tank refills. It’s durable enough to toss in your toolbox and simple enough to use in seconds: just press it against your nozzle, pull the trigger, and read the ball height.
Consistency is key to great welding. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, knowing your equipment is performing correctly gives you confidence. The Flow Guard fits over almost any standard MIG nozzle or TIG cup. It measures flow from 5 to 25 liters per minute, making it perfect for everything from light sheet metal work to heavy structural fabrication. Don't let a leaky hose or a faulty regulator ruin your work; verify your flow at the source and weld with confidence.
