The service starts with a thorough analysis of your current welding process using independently calibrated equipment. An Application Specialist from Air Products will work closely with you to eliminate gas wastage and identify precisely where you can optimise welding performance and then provide you with a predicted gas consumption saving report, outlining how much you could potentially save. As there’s no cost for this service, you really do have nothing to lose. Customers can typically cut their usage by around 25%, every welding operation is different though and some could see savings of up to 65%. See how you can benefit:


• Reduce gas usage and costs: Optimum flow rates are locked to control welding gas usage and costs. Frequent service calls from our Application Specialists ensure targets are maintained.


• Improve weld quality: Using optimised flow rates and eliminating air entrainment reduces weld defects.


• Improve productivity: No time is wasted setting up flow rates plus the risk of weld rejects improves.


• Reduce your carbon footprint: Optimised flow rates lead to reduced gas usage, which means fewer deliveries are required and thus reducing transport emissions.
