MILLER - WELDCRAFT WP-26 Air-cooled Torch Body A-200

Miller - Weldcraft WP-26 TIG (tungsten inert gas) torch body is attached to compatible consumables and torch handle to create an air cooled TIG torch. This unit is made from high quality copper alloys, making it ideal for welding using current up to 250A. The torch is cooled by shielding gas and ambient air during welding tasks and therefore, does not require an external water hose or source. Miller - Weldcraft TIG torch WP-26 is easier to install & maintain, and is better suited for mobile welding applications or outdoor use than water cooled torches. However, it may become too hot if used for prolonged time periods. Miller - Weldcraft TIG torch WP-26 is ideal for short, low amperage welding applications. It comes equipped with an A-200 gas control valve for ensuring rapid adjustment of shielding gas flow. The attached flex can offer more flexibility with its flexible neck and can easily adjust to any angle for excellent torch control in limited access joints.

Uses:

Miller - Weldcraft WP-26 TIG torch is an air cooled unit that offers a wide combination of features, making it useful for heavy duty welding, manufacturing and maintenance & repair applications in the fabrication & ship building industries.

Features:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does the torch body do?

A. The TIG torch is a tool that the welder holds and manipulates to make the weld. It provides a valve and connection for the fuel gas & oxygen, a mixing chamber which is set at an angle where the oxygen and fuel gas mix, a handle for the welder to grasp, and a tip where the flame forms.

Q. What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding?

A. The difference between both is the style the arc utilises. The TIG welding process uses long rods to join two metals directly together. However, MIG (metal inert gas) welding uses a feed wire that enables constant movement through the gun for creating the spark, and then melts to form the weld.

Q. What are the different types of TIG torches?

A. The main types of TIG torches are water cooled and air cooled torches. Water cooled torches are ideal for welding above 200A at a high duty cycle, whereas air cooled torches are ideal for operation up to 250A.
