WELDING SHIELD GASES

Thermco gas mixers are used for mixing 2 and 3 gases for MIG and TIG welding applications. Because Thermco mixers use a surge tank design, the flow rate can be changed from full flow to zero flow while maintaining a correct mixture. No minimum flow is required. Most gas mixers allow the user to adjust the gas mixture, and all larger 2 gas mixers have a built-in gas analyzer.

FOOD PACKAGING

Mixers are available to mix N₂/CO₂ and O₂/CO₂ for food packaging. All these gas mixers contain built-in gas analyzers with alarms to assure that a correct mixture is being created. All wetted parts are cleaned for food service.

FURNACE ATMOSPHERE

Many heat treat processes require a mixture of H₂ and N₂ to create an atmosphere in a furnace. Thermco gas mixers meet the applicable requirement of NFPA 86, "Standard For Industrial Furnaces Using A Special Processing Atmosphere". All Thermco H₂/N₂ gas mixers contain a built-in gas analyzer with appropriate alarms. Thermco has been manufacturing these types of gas mixers since 1969.

LEAK DETECTION

Gas mixers for He/N₂ or He/Air are common for leak detection of parts such as compressors or coils. Some leak detection gas mixers are built for elevated pressures. Thermco has experience building gas mixers with up to 500 PSIG mixed gas pressures.

BLANKETING ATMOSPHERES

Some processes require a mixture of N₂/O₂ or N₂/Air to create a blanketing atmosphere over a chemical. Thermco gas mixers can closely control these mixtures to optimize safety and minimize usage of the more expensive gas component.

OTHER APPLICATIONS

• Airbag Leak Detection
• Molten Mg Blanketing
• Lamp Filling
• Laser Gases
• Plasma Welding
