Welding technology

In welding technology, pressure gauges are primarily used to measure pressure levels in gases. Consider, for example, measuring the pressure of welding gas or protective gas used in welding. Related thermal cutting processes, such as plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting, also utilize pressure gauges to ensure efficient cutting operations.

Gas pressure regulation

The pressure of the welding gas used can be measured and regulated using pressure gauges. In welding with gases such as argon, helium, or their mixtures, maintaining the correct pressure is crucial for optimal arc stability and weld quality.

Protective gas for welding

In welding processes such as TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW) and MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding or GMAW), a protective gas is used to shield the weld pool from contaminants in the air. Our pressure gauges assist in controlling the pressure of this protective gas. For MIG welding, for example, you can use an argon/CO2 pressure gauge.

Pressure in cutting applications

Plasma cutting and oxy-fuel cutting are thermal cutting processes closely related to welding. These processes also involve the use of pressurized gases. Pressure gauges enable the measurement and control of the pressure in the cutting gas, ensuring efficient cutting operations.

Safety

Monitoring the pressure in various gases is not only essential for correct and efficient process execution but is also crucial for safety. Excessive pressure can lead to undesired outcomes, such as splattering, poor arc stability, or even damage to welding equipment.
