Tig Cup Size Chart

Tig Cup Size Chart - Use a gas flow of 30 scfh use a maximum of 15 scfh etc., etc. 6 cup = 12 cfh; Everyone i've seen who does fancy tig welding uses one cup for everything and 3/32 tungsten. Basically, they list various metal types (stainless, copper, etc), and based on the thickness of the material and the type of weld (butt, corner, etc), the chart then recommends tungsten type, size, cup size, gas flow, and amperage. When i've done tig on stainless plate or aluminum (god forbid i ever have to again) i used a #7 all the time. So by that logic, if cup 5 uses 10cfh of argon, cup 10 should use way more than 20cfh. For example, if you use a 1/4 tungsten in a #4 cup, the theory falls apart faster than quantum gravity inside a black hole.

For stainless sheet metal if aesthetics. Everyone i've seen who does fancy tig welding uses one cup for everything and 3/32 tungsten. Stainless loves more argon within reason. Also, the gas lens collet body is always used, so the bigger, tapered cups.

For example, if you use a 1/4 tungsten in a #4 cup, the theory falls apart faster than quantum gravity inside a black hole. Basically, they list various metal types (stainless, copper, etc), and based on the thickness of the material and the type of weld (butt, corner, etc), the chart then recommends tungsten type, size, cup size, gas flow, and amperage. Use a gas flow of 30 scfh use a maximum of 15 scfh etc., etc. Use a small cup size. Do not use a gas lens when tig welding aluminum. So by that logic, if cup 5 uses 10cfh of argon, cup 10 should use way more than 20cfh.

The diameter of cup 5 is half of the diameter of cup 10, but it's not nearly the half cup area. 7 cup = 14 cfh; The gas lens allow you to stick tungsten out a long way so easier to see puddle. When i've done tig on stainless plate or aluminum (god forbid i ever have to again) i used a #7 all the time. For stainless sheet metal if aesthetics.

I was hearing the popular rule cup size x2 = required gas flow rate in cfh. 7 cup = 14 cfh; Here are some torch cup sizes taken from this manual. Basically, they list various metal types (stainless, copper, etc), and based on the thickness of the material and the type of weld (butt, corner, etc), the chart then recommends tungsten type, size, cup size, gas flow, and amperage.

Use A Large Cup Size.

I was hearing the popular rule cup size x2 = required gas flow rate in cfh. 6 cup = 12 cfh; The diameter of cup 5 is half of the diameter of cup 10, but it's not nearly the half cup area. Everyone i've seen who does fancy tig welding uses one cup for everything and 3/32 tungsten.

When I've Done Tig On Stainless Plate Or Aluminum (God Forbid I Ever Have To Again) I Used A #7 All The Time.

Use a small cup size. They offer good gas coverage plus you can even turn down the flow rates over the standard collet bodies if you wanna save on gas. When i weld stainless i like to use a number 8 cup. Mostly thoriated but i've seen lathanated and ceriated used too.

For Stainless Sheet Metal If Aesthetics.

7 cup = 14 cfh; 6 being your general cup size. Basically, they list various metal types (stainless, copper, etc), and based on the thickness of the material and the type of weld (butt, corner, etc), the chart then recommends tungsten type, size, cup size, gas flow, and amperage. So by that logic, if cup 5 uses 10cfh of argon, cup 10 should use way more than 20cfh.

For Example 5 Cup = 10 Cfh;

Also, the gas lens collet body is always used, so the bigger, tapered cups. I suggest getting wedge collets will last you a lifetime and buying alumina cups in a size 7 and 8. Use a gas flow of 30 scfh use a maximum of 15 scfh etc., etc. For example, if you use a 1/4 tungsten in a #4 cup, the theory falls apart faster than quantum gravity inside a black hole.

6 cup = 12 cfh; 7 cup = 14 cfh; Basically, they list various metal types (stainless, copper, etc), and based on the thickness of the material and the type of weld (butt, corner, etc), the chart then recommends tungsten type, size, cup size, gas flow, and amperage. For mild steel i wouldn't see you needing to go any bigger than a 7. I suggest getting wedge collets will last you a lifetime and buying alumina cups in a size 7 and 8.
