H. Gas Supply Requirements
1. Plasma
Gases: Compressed Air, Nitrogen (N2), Argon/
Hydrogen only
Pressure: 65 psi (4.5 bar)
CAUTION
Maximum input gas pressure must not exceed 125
psi (8.62 bar)
Cold Flow:
Cutting: 50-78 scfh (23.6-36.8 lpm)
Gouging: 85-95 scfh (40.1-44.8 lpm)
scfh = standard cubic feet per hour
NOTE
Cold flow is measured before the main arc is activated.
When pressure is set correctly, the plasma gas flow rate
is significantly lower when the arc is initiated.
2. Secondary
Gases: Compressed Air, Carbon Dioxide (CO2),
Nitrogen (N2) only
Pressure: 60 psi (4.1 bar)
CAUTION
Maximum input gas pressure must not exceed 125
psi (8.62 bar)
Cold Flow:
Cutting: 340 scfh (160.4 lpm)
Gouging: 235 scfh (110.9 lpm)
scfh = standard cubic feet per hour
