Three-Gas Flowmeter

The Victor 1000-0182 flowmeter regulates argon, carbon dioxide and helium for welding applications. It mounts directly to a pipeline and uses a three-stage design to deliver consistent outlet pressure up to 40 psig from a 25 psig inlet. The unit accepts a 1/4 in male NPT inlet and provides a 5/8 in-18 female UNF outlet.

Pipeline Mounting Constraints

Installation requires a compatible 1/4 in male NPT pipeline connection with right-hand thread orientation. The three-stage regulation is calibrated for a maximum inlet pressure of 25 psig; exceeding this limit will compromise accuracy. Outlet pressure is capped at 40 psig, so the device cannot serve high-pressure distribution systems.

Gas-Specific Capacity Limits

Argon flow peaks at 50 scfh, carbon dioxide at 40 scfh and helium at 150 scfh, reflecting the different density characteristics of each gas. Processes demanding argon or CO2 flows above these thresholds will require a larger-capacity regulator. Helium-intensive shielding tasks stay within range up to the 150 scfh ceiling.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 50 scfh argon, 40 scfh CO2 or 150 scfh helium scale for my gas mix?

The flowmeter covers all three gases simultaneously; each scale reads up to its own maximum so you simply watch the tube for the gas you are using.

What does the 25 psig maximum inlet pressure mean when the regulator is on my pipeline?

It is the highest supply pressure the flowmeter can accept; your pipeline regulator must be set at or below 25 psig to avoid damage.

How does the 1/4 in NPT male inlet and 5/8-18 UNF female outlet affect my hose connections?

The 1/4 in NPT male threads into the pipeline port, while the 5/8-18 UNF female outlet accepts a standard welding hose fitting for argon, CO2 or helium.
