PowerWeld

PowerWeld covers the day-to-day hardware of a welding shop - oxy-fuel cutting tips, torches, attachments and regulators, electrode holders and ground clamps, cable connectors, tungsten, helmet lenses, gloves, jackets, chemicals and hand tools.

Gas equipment: style means compatibility

Victor-style, Harris-style and Airco-style parts are made to fit those manufacturers' torches and handles. Match the style of your torch first, then the tip series, then the tip size for the plate thickness. Fuel gas matters: acetylene tips and propane or natural gas tips are not interchangeable.

• Regulators are built for one gas and carry the matching CGA inlet - CGA-540 oxygen, CGA-510 acetylene, CGA-580 argon and inert gas, CGA-320 CO2.
• Fit reverse-flow check valves or flashback arrestors on every oxy-fuel outfit.

Holders, clamps and cable

Size the electrode holder and ground clamp to the machine's output current. An undersized ground clamp runs hot and makes the arc unstable - it is one of the most overlooked causes of poor welds.

Tungsten colour codes

2% thoriated is red, 2% lanthanated is blue, 2% ceriated is grey and zirconiated is brown. See tungsten electrodes.
