Application
The models 8500, 8505 and 9775 are designed to create welding shield gas. These gas mixers are suitable for:- 0-50% CO2 in Ar (model 8500)
- 0-10% O2 in Ar (model 8505)
- 0-50% He in Ar (model 9775)
Each gas mixer is easily changeable by adjusting a single calibrated dial.
Since these gas mixers use Thermco's surge tank design, the gas mixture is highly accurate throughout the flow range.
The digital, solid-state pressure switch controlling the surge tank pressure provides extremely long life as well as diagnostics for the surge tank pressure condition.
Features
- All models are variable simply by turning a single dial.
- Surge tank design allows infinite flow rate turn down from 750 to 0 SCFH while maintaining a precise mix.
- All solid-state pressure switch which controls surge tank pressure is rated at 100 million cycles. This switch also provides a digital readout of the surge tank pressure, which can be observed through the front window.
- Diagnostics – a light on the solid-state pressure switch illuminates when the surge tank is filling.
- Optional pressure alarm system available
Specifications
| Model | Range | Flow Capacity | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8500 | 0-50% carbon dioxide in argon | 0-750 SCFH (0-20.1 Nm3/h) | ±1.5% carbon dioxide |
| 8505 | 0-10% oxygen in argon | 0-750 SCFH (0-20.1 Nm3/h) | ±0.3% oxygen |
| 9775 | 0-50% helium in argon | 0-350 SCFH (0-9.4 Nm3/h | ±1.5% helium |
Note: This is the mixed gas capacity at the mid-range setting. The capacity may be more or less depending on the mixture setting. Consult Thermco for details.
Accuracy Under Typical Conditions:
(Example: For 25% carbon dioxide in argon mixture, the mix will be ±1.5% carbon dioxide; therefore, the mixture will be within the limits of 23.5% to 26.5% carbon dioxide.)Ambient and Supply Gas Operating Temperatures:
32°F (0°C) to 104°F (40°C).Supply Gas Pressure:
100-125 PSIG (6.9-8.6 barg)Mixed Gas Outlet Pressure:
10-50 PSIG (0.7-3.4 barg). Regulator provided by Thermco in mixer for mixed gas pressure adjustment.Gas Connections and Piping:
1/2 inch NPT female pipe for major, minor, and mixed gas connections.Solid-State Surge Tank Pressure Switch:
The gas mixer utilizes a solid-state pressure switch to control the surge tank pressure. A digital readout of the pressure is built into the switch. Both the sensing element and electrical switch are solid-state. An LED indicator shows when the surge tank is filling. Use of this pressure switch virtually eliminates the most common cause of gas mixer failure.
