Gas transfer between cylinders - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Sep 7, 2004 · For a fill on an 80 cuft tank should run you between 20-30 US Dollars. And i know for my customers it is normally between 30-45 dollars for a 300 size Argon bottle. Airgas should be able to fill your little 80 cuft tank, and i would take pjseaman advice and find out why they don't fill them. Hope this helps, BC. BC.
Transporting Tanks - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Sep 18, 2009 · Gas bottles (Oxygen, Argon, etc) are ok in any position, but acetylene is better vertical due to the filler. In most of the US, regulations require that all tanks be secured so that they can not move, and many states require all tanks be transported vertical, valve up, with valve cap fit if the tank is equipped for it.
Is it better to lease or buy welding gas???
Also, most guys i spoke to said i would want 75% Argon and 25%CO2. I got a few quotes locally and the cheapest was: $240 To own a 50 cubic foot tank and $53 to refill it. $76/year To lease a 125 cubic foot tank and $75 to refill it. I just don't know exactly how much welding i will do.
Argon bottle pressure... - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Tweet. #2. 09-17-2008, 06:14 PM. Argon pressure. Hi blazehaze69, I use 336 cu ft tank and a full tank is about 2500 psi. I stop tig welding when it gets to about 100 psi just to be safe for my welds and also to make sure I bring back the tank with positive pressure to prevent possible contamination for the next fill cycle.
Argon bottle standing or on its side? - Miller Welding Discussion …
Feb 27, 2017 · Argon bottle standing or on its side? 02-27-2017, 11:32 PM. Hi all. I recently bought a miller TB 301G. It is set up to weld aluminum. I am planning on putting it in a pickup bed and servicing commercial fishing boats in my area. Obviously welding out of a pickup bed is less desirable that off a flatbed, but I haven't got around to building a ...
How long should a tank of argon last? - Miller Welding Discussion …

That bottles useful life per fill is directly proportional to the amount of flow you have set at the regulator. If you have an 80cf bottle of gas, and you're regulating it to 10cf/h, then that bottle will last 8 ...
pressure of full 125cf argon cylinder? - Miller Welding Discussion …
Since pressure varies by temperature, the real way to measure how full a bottle is, is by weight. According to Google: Argon: 1.78400 (g / l) = 0.111371482 pounds / (cu ft) So 120 cu ft should add 13.36 lbs. And then if you really care (roughly): pressure x volume = some_constant x temperature. The 'some_constant' depends on things like number ...
Pros & Cons of Leasing vs. Owning your tanks - Miller Welding ...
The obvious reason is amortization of the cost over time. Once that's done, your jug ain't costing you! If I was running through multiple bottles per week, I'd probably lease. Most high-volume operations get delivery service. I can't go through enough of anything to get it delivered - welding gas, beer, nothin'! Hank.
different regulator for different gasses? - Miller Welding …
Sep 23, 2008 · Argon gas has a density of 1.78 grams per liter and carbon dioxide gas has a density of 1.98 grams per liter. These densities are close enough that mixing the gases (as in a C-25 cylinder) and running the mixture through a flowmeter will not significantly affect the accuracy of the reading if read on the meter's Argon scale.
Owner Owned argon Cylinder! - Miller Welding Discussion Forums
Dec 23, 2012 · Owner Owned argon Cylinder! 12-23-2012, 12:28 PM. My new Dynasty from Cyberweld is in route. I purchased an owner owned cylinder (no name on it/ tested until 2014) 330CU cylinder and filled for $250.00 cash from LWS. Future refills are $45.00. I think this was a good deal. What is everyone else paying for same.
