For shielding gas pipelines it has been well established that installing flowmeters only, provides inconsistent and inaccurate flow to the welding machine. Regulated flowmeters ensure accurate and steady gas supply no matter what pressure is in the pipeline or in the cylinder. The pipeline can run at a higher pressure and the outlet point delivers the exact pressure required at each point for the flowmeter. This means that you get precise gas supply to each machine, reducing re-works due to inconsistent gas pressure. It also means a reduction in gas consumption against other systems running at higher pressures with non-regulated flowmeters. Each time gas flow is actuated here is a huge gas surge if the flowmeter is not regulated. Installing a regulated flowmeter helps to dramatically reduce this wasted gas.
