1000-0264 - Victor FM200 CO2 Station Flowmeter, 30-100 SCFH, 1/4 NPT Inlet

Precision CO2 Flow Measurement for Industrial Piping

The Victor FM200 Medium Duty Carbon Dioxide Flowmeter Regulator (SKU: 1000-0264) is a specialized instrument designed for the accurate delivery of shielding gas in piped shop environments. Unlike cylinder-mounted regulators, this unit is calibrated to operate at an inlet pressure of 80 PSIG, making it the ideal solution for station drops where gas is supplied via a central manifold system. Its 1/4" NPT Male inlet connection ensures seamless integration into standard industrial piping infrastructure, while the 5/8"-18 RH Female outlet accepts standard welding gas hoses.

Robust Construction for Harsh Environments

Industrial fabrication facilities demand equipment that can withstand rigorous daily use. The FM200 features a flow tube and outer cover tube molded from impact-resistant Lexan. This high-strength polycarbonate material offers exceptional clarity for reading flow rates while providing superior resistance to physical damage compared to traditional glass tubes. This design choice significantly reduces maintenance costs and downtime associated with broken flow tubes in busy production areas.

Accurate and Safe Operation

Accuracy is paramount in MIG and TIG welding applications to ensure weld quality and porosity-free joints. The FM200 provides a flow range of 30 to 100 SCFH, specifically calibrated for Carbon Dioxide. The unit is back-pressure compensated, meaning the flow reading remains accurate even if there are downstream restrictions in the hose or torch. For enhanced safety, the cover tube incorporates an overpressure protection mechanism, safeguarding both the equipment and the operator in the event of a pressure surge.
