Sundown, purge dam complete. Look inside!

[ChainbreakR]

So after that the other day of us both laying down some pretty miserable beads, I built you this stainless purge dam for you. Now you can run your 1/16" stainless at ~60 amps! ...thought I'd share it with the rest of the folk. The end piece with the bends is just so you can fixure it in different ways if necessary. It's time to find a Y valve and start layin' it down. If you don't catch me tomorrow, I won't be around till friday...pick it up whenever, though.

Nice Man!
Some stellar beads there.
What amperage did you do those at? Thats 1/16" SS right?

Skooter,

ChainbreakerR is most likely tied up with classes so if he dosn't respond I will let you know when I see him on Friday, I would almost bet they were done at about 40 amps or so on and old Airco transformer beast, at least that would be my best guess.

Dual flowmeter is the best way to go. I use a Victor.

thanx for the words, Scooter!...I actually welded this out at school...and today I freed up for a minute, so I could actually get back on here for a couple seconds...

Lincoln Prescision Tig 275 @ 33 amps
.045 308l filler(some portions are fusion welded)
1/16" stainless 304 material

George, have you found a Y valve online? The dual regulators really are the way to go, but I can't afford one right now...just a little extra work until I can get the dual. Do you also know where to just buy a single valve so you don't have to reach up to the bottle to shut off the purge? I probably shoulda posted this in the welding projects forum.

Depends on your machine, but you can put the Y on the solenoid. Old syncrowave I use has the Y on the front of the machine under the lower cover right at the solenoid so it's easy to get to. Sucks having to use a single flow meter for this, but if you got to you got to. It's got a valve on both legs so you can turn of your purge whenever. I'll be playing with it the next two nights and try to get some pics of it along w/ the headers I'll be back purging once fitted.

Thanks for the purge chamber I need all the help I can get, but I still want to be able to do it at 40-45 amps if I get my new glasses so I can see again. Right now I am thinking that instead of a y-valve, I might get a dual regulater. See you on Friday.....
