Description: The 80 CF Welding Cylinder Tank is a substantial container designed to safely store and transport a gas mixture containing 75% Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This gas blend, commonly referred to as "75/25 Argon-CO2" or "75/25," is a popular choice for shielding gas in welding processes like MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. Here are some key features and details:
-
Capacity: The "80 CF" designation indicates the cylinder's capacity in cubic feet (CF). This size provides a significant volume of the 75/25 Argon-CO2 gas mixture, making it suitable for extended welding projects without the need for frequent refills.
-
Gas Mixture: The cylinder is filled with a precise gas mixture of 75% Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide. This specific blend is chosen for its ability to balance inert shielding (Argon) and increased penetration and arc stability (CO2). It's commonly used for welding carbon steel and some low-alloy steels.
-
Valve Type (CGA 580): The cylinder is equipped with a CGA 580 valve, which is the standard valve for Argon gas. This valve type ensures compatibility with the regulator or flow control device used to regulate the flow of the 75/25 Argon-CO2 gas mixture to the welding torch.
-
Full: The cylinder is described as "FULL," indicating that it is currently filled to capacity with the 75/25 Argon-CO2 gas mixture and is ready for immediate use in welding applications.
-
Safety: Welding gas cylinders are constructed with safety in mind. They typically feature robust steel construction and safety features like pressure relief devices to prevent over-pressurization.
-
Transportation: Welding cylinders often have built-in handles or caps for easy transport and handling, allowing them to be moved around the workshop or job site as needed.
