chewing through the argon
Well I thought a E size argon bottle would last ages, but I'm chewing through it pretty quick with the tig. I always turn off the main valve when finished, and I checked for leaks - nothing. Then I did a few calcs. The bottle holds 4.1m3, I have the gas running at about 10 LPM which equates to a tad less than 7 hours welding. Is my gas use excessive? I tend not to even adjust the flow rate. Using #7 cup, 2.4mm tungsten. Thanks - Mick
