Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

See the fine blue print where it says log in to get YOUR price. If you start a relationship with the sales people at your local store then that price will go way down. That's like MSRP on a new car. It's just a mythical number they pull out of thin air. I will try that to see what happens, i am jus...

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

i just posted another thread about the price on argon around here actually is the price from a LWS ( Argon Refiil $180.00 ). it kind of scared me. Holy Bejeezus! $180! Someone is screwing their customers. :evil: I have numerous 330 tanks, and not a single one of them cost me even $100 to fill. Now,...

Re: Argon. does it sound like an average price ?

the prices i posted above( pictures) are for cylinder exchange , just for the gas itself. it matches exactly the price that one of you guy from around here (union city ) also posted earlier.
I think the guys from LWS was giving me a discount already :D

the guys form the LWS will seel a 330 cf cylinder to me so i can own it for $ 512+argon $195= $707 then every time i want to refill it will cost me $195.00.
looks like here in my area, this is it.$$$

Re: Argon price in northern California Question

I just exchanged my 125 scf argon tank at Airgas the other day in Union City, CA. The price was $105.33. I've never bought a tank that large (330) but they are expensive. I've been lucky enough to inherit or find old tanks to trade in. I had to buy a small 40 scf nitro tank several years back and I...

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

i've been reading on some other threads that usually LWS raise the price on new customers or customers with no account with them, maybe the guy notice my inexperience right away and saw a good sale, and since i dont know anything about prices i could not say nothing, thank you guys

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

While cj737 makes several valid points, I would think the price of a helium mix is going to vary by region, meaning how close are you to a major refining/storage/shipping center? In very low demand market areas, it could be quite costly. You'll simply have to price it and see. Price it from every s...

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

I have not found the cost of a pre-mixed bottle to be significant. Especially when you amortize it across the hours of welding. And in some instances, the purchase of %He is far, far cheaper than a TIG box with more amps. I've toyed with the idea of 2 separate tanks in the shop, a Y fitting, and th...

Argon. does it sound like an average price ?

i am new to the welding world so my knowledge level is zero I am just getting quotes on argon price locally here in northern California and i went to a Local welding supply to see if they will sell a 330 cf tank filled with 100% argon so this is what i got : 330 cf cylinder = 512 tax included. Argon...

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

For most Tig welding you don't need helium - it just adds cost - that's why most guys blend a little if the situation calls for it - ie your past the amp limit / duty cycle of your machine for a given thickness - I use 100% argon 99% of the time due to cost but I will say the puddle is nicer on any...

Re: will a pre mix cylinder of arg/helium work in a dynasty

Yes, and it works just fine, unless there is a specific WPS for your task that has a different specification on gas. I use the same pre-mixed tank for carbon, stainless and aluminum in a smaller travel bottle. Thank you very much for your replying, i had that doubt since all i ear is about the Wye ...

Argon /helium mix questionss for miller inverter.

can the (helium/argon mix set up) be made with the two cylinders and mixer(Or Wye fitting) only, and /or can it be done by just getting both gases mixed in the same cylinder from LWS? and which would be a good combination of percentages to be used with a miller dynasty and which method do you think ...
