I'm using a #6 cup at 7 litres a minute on 2mm and 2.5mm MS and haven't thought about changing, as this is working well.
7L per min = 14.837Cf per hour

Welding stainless tube
As a test for myself(Haven't done this before) I'm joining 2 sections of 38mm stainless X 1.6mm tube, one joining into the other at 90deg. I'm using a 1.6 thoriated tungsten and 1.6 filler at 55amps DC-. So far the result has been a bit hit and miss. I've avoided any undercut but the joint is either...
