Description: The 80 CF Welding Cylinder Tank is a substantial container designed for safely storing and transporting 100% Argon welding gas. Argon is commonly used as a shielding gas in welding processes such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding and is preferred for its inert properties that protect the weld from atmospheric contamination. Here are some key features and details:
-
Capacity: The "80 CF" designation indicates the cylinder's capacity, measured in cubic feet (CF). This size provides a large volume of Argon gas, making it suitable for extended welding projects without frequent refills.
-
Gas Purity: This cylinder is filled with 100% Argon gas. The absence of other gases ensures a pure, inert shielding atmosphere, making it ideal for welding a variety of metals, including aluminum and stainless steel.
-
Valve Type (CGA 580): The cylinder is equipped with a CGA 580 valve, which is the standard valve type for Argon gas. This valve ensures compatibility with the regulator or flow control device used to regulate the flow of Argon gas to the welding torch.
-
Full: The cylinder is described as "FULL," indicating that it is currently filled to capacity with Argon gas and is ready for immediate use in welding applications.
-
Safety: Welding gas cylinders are built to withstand high pressures associated with compressed gases. They typically feature sturdy steel construction and safety features like pressure relief devices to prevent over-pressurization.
-
Transportation: Welding cylinders often have built-in handles or caps for ease of transport and handling, allowing them to be moved around the workshop or job site as needed.
-
Usage: This cylinder is designed to be used with TIG welding equipment and other applications that require a high-purity Argon shielding gas.
