The Difference Between AC and DC TIG Welding

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/difference-ac-dc-tig-welding/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/AC-Frequency.png

TIG welding is one of today’s most versatile techniques for the fusing of both ferrous and non ferrous metals. It is applicable for all kinds of repair and fabrication projects and is a valuable skill for welders and hobbyist to possess.

Before you begin TIG welding, a thorough understanding is required as to the type of waveform that will be applied to the current based on the material being welded. Although the most modern welding rigs feature multiple AC waveforms, the fundamentals are alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

AC or DC: What’s the Difference in TIG Welding?

For those who aren’t familiar with these terms, AC and DC refer to the flow of current in a conductor which is in the opposite direction of the electron flow. Whilst electrons are negatively charged and flow from negative terminal to positive terminal, the current flows from positive terminal to negative terminal.

A DC current is a constant flow in one direction, in a DC welding process the current can change it’s intensity referred to as amperage but it will not change it’s direction. A DC current is used when welding all metals except those that oxidise such as aluminium.

An AC current alternates it’s direction continuously, in an AC welding process the current can change it’s period of direction known as frequency, it can change it’s ratio of direction known as balance and also change it’s amplitude referred to as amperage. AC current is used for aluminium and it’s alloys. When electrons flow from the workpiece to the positively charged tungsten during the cleaning half cycle, they remove the oxide layer from the surface of the aluminium by blowing it off from beneath and the gas shield of inert argon prevents new oxide forming thus allowing the molten pool of pure aluminium to fuse.

AC Frequency

As can be seen in the adjacent image, the proportion of time the weld current flows in either direction is the same, both top and bottom parts of the waveform are equal. The difference here is the period or rate of current reversal, this is known as AC frequency. The benefit of controlling AC frequency is that it allows for a wider arc at low frequency or a tighter arc and increased penetration when set to a higher frequency.

AC Balance

As can be seen in the adjacent image, the proportion of time the weld current flows in either direction is NOT the same. In the left side image current flows for longer periods in the positive half cycle before reversing direction, in the right side image current flows for a longer period in the negative half cycle before reversing direction. AC balance is used to control the amount of cleaning known as oxide removal whilst welding aluminium and it’s alloys. More cleaning, that is more bias of electron flow toward the tungsten does increase oxide removal, the heat is also directed toward the tungsten and it melts forming a ball due to surface tension of the molten tungsten. Less cleaning allows more penetration toward the workpiece. A sweet spot can be found between 20% and 40% of AC balance toward the positive half cycle.

Diagram showing the effect of AC Tig welding balance adjustment

Welding Aluminium with DC, it’s not a magic trick.

You may have heard or have experienced welding aluminium with your MIG welder and it is only a DC current welding machine. What is this black magic you may ask? It’s not magic and can be understood in the previous section detailing AC balance for TIG welding.

In a MIG welding machine, when the electrode is charged positively, the electrons flow toward it and blow away the oxide layer from the workpiece. In this situation it is cleaning action ramped up to 100% as there is no negative half cycle reversal. The electrode is disintegrated instantly due to the massive amount of heat forming on it. It sounds ominous for the electrode however in the case of a MIG welder, the electrode is the wire and as the electrode is melting it keeps getting replenished so never burns out. The molten electrode droplets are bombarded into the workpiece by the immense magnetic fields generated in the welding arc. Only in this situation is it possible to effectively weld aluminium with DC.

Pros

Good penetration

Neat weld appeal

Ability to control heat and filler easily

Cons

Slower than MIG

Not as effective as MIG in repairing salt exposed dingy hulls

The rise of Weld Cleaner Machines

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/the-rise-of-weld-cleaner-machines/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/pickling-paste-danger1.jpg

When you look at any market, and specifically long established methods or practices within those markets, the biggest disruptions are born out of occupational health and safety concerns.

The rise in weld cleaner machine use is driven by the dangers of pickling paste use. Now there is a safer alternative to post weld cleanup.

Post weld cleaning and polishing of stainless steels has been practiced for decades using pickling pastes. These chemical based pickling paste products contain a combination of nitric and hydrofluoric acids which cause serious burn injuries when in contact with the skin. They are primarily used to post weld clean stainless steels and can be applied by brush or by a spray on process. Lower viscosity formulations may reduce the risk of spatter but the best safety procedures always come undone by a series of minor failures and mostly caused by ignorance of the danger these products pose.

To avoid workplace injuries and their subsequent workcover fines, compensation payouts employers are now looking to alternative methods of post weld finishing as part of their risk and hazard reduction processes. The most common approach to improve safety in the work place is the switch to an electropolishing process where possible. Electropolishing machines, also called weld cleaners operate by passing an electrical charge of relatively low voltage between workpiece and brush whilst in the presence of an acidic solution such as phosphoric acid.

When weld cleaning occurs in stainless steels the electropolishing process dissolves the microscopic high points of the materials whilst removing iron selectively which results in both an increase density of chromium and a smooth surface that prevents bacterial contamination due to the smooth surface.

Electron beam microscopy showing surface finish between pickling paste, AC brush and mepBLITz DC weld cleaner

Electropolishing is often described as electroplating backwards, the key however is to remove the microscopic high points at a much faster rate than the low points or valleys. In the image above, experiments conducted for Metal Science by the University of Wollongong shows the surface finish after using pickling paste (left), an AC brush (centre) and a DC brush powered by the mepBLITz i5 (right). The smooth surface on the right image shows the advantage of electropolishing.

The below text is sourced from the test results on the Easykleen website

“The excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel can only be achieved if proper cleaning and finishing operations are carried out after any fabrication process as there will have been damage to the surface condition. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel arises from a chromium oxide film that forms a protective layer naturally on the surface of the steel. The chromium oxide film is extremely thin, a few angstroms, but strongly adherent and chemically stable which is commonly referred to as ‘passive’. The film is formed when chromium reacts with oxygen. The film may be described in chemical terms as a Chromium iii oxide (Cr2O3 )”

Electropolisher Machine Stainless Steel Weld Clean

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/electropolisher-machine-stainless-steel-weld-clean/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/TIG_large-Corner-side-by-side-before-after1-300x225.jpg

Welding of stainless steels affects the chromium density of the surface which leads to poor appearance and subsequent corrosion when left untreated. There are a few way to clean up post weld and if you do a lot of stainless welding you want to avoid that nasty pickling paste process and invest in an electropolishing machine.

Why the machine, well, the best way to post-weld finish stainless steel is by electropolishing, which for those not in the know is an electrochemical process that rebuilds chromium throughout the weld surface by increasing it’s density and as a result restores the chromium’s ability to create an oxide film.

stainless steel weld with heat affected zone that is lacking chromium oxide

Stainless steel is corrosion resistance due to the formation of a chromium oxide film that forms the protective layer naturally on the surface of the stainless steel. This chromium oxide film is strongly adherent despite it being quite thin but most importantly it is chemically stable which is commonly referred to as ‘passive’. The chromium oxide film is created when chromium reacts with oxygen. Interestingly you may have seen some stainless steel rusting with a surface effect called tea staining. This is caused when dirt on the surface of the stainless prevents the oxygen molecules from bonding with the chromium and rust appears. By keeping the stainless clean the chromium oxide layer is kept intact and the passive property of rust prevention remains active.

So why does welding have an effect on stainless steel joints? The welding process adds extreme heat and this causes severe chromium depletion not only at the weld surface but through out the weld affected area, that is the portion that was heat affected. By only using a mechanical process and limiting the removal of surface material such as oxide scale only half the job is done as the weld area remains chromium depleted with regards to the original components of parent stainless steel.

It is critically important that stainless steel does not lose chromium from the surface, when the weld heat affected zone becomes is depleted of chromium, the surface corrosive resistance level is severely reduced and the weld along with it’s boundary that is heat affected is therefore vulnerable to corrosion and other effects such as loss of reflectance and poor cosmetic appeal. Would you buy a spit roast from stiffy if he had dodgy looking welds, no way. Below is a graphic showing the molecular structure of the chromium oxide layer.

Introducing the modern labour saver, the electropolishing machine. Electropolishing selectively dissolves the microscopic high points of the stainless and selectively removes iron so increases the chromium density and creates a microscopically smother surface on which bacterial contamination cannot bind or hide.

Many years ago, back in the transistor radio dark ages, electropolishing of stainless steel could only be performed by the immersion of the work piece in an electrolyte solution. As you can imagine, due to the varied sizes and shapes of weld sections this wasn’t always possible, practical or cost effective.

Australian ingenuity coupled with dogged determination has produced several stainless weld cleaning machines. With the Metalscience mepBLITz and TIG CHAMP BRUSH DC PLUS it is now possible to weld and then immediately after cooling finish the same weld with a mirror like finish that is chromium dense. It doesn’t matter if you weld on-site or in the workshop, each and every weld can be processed easily as the electropolishing rig is portable and runs on 240V single phase supply.

The Metalscience stainless cleaning machines require minimal labor to be invested in producing great results so in effect yield faster production than other cleaning processes and put savings into your pocket. The mepBLITz uses a food grade acid that combines a phosphoric acid with several sequestering agents to deliver a dramatic improvement in operator safety. The mepBLITz and TIG CHAMP BRUSH DC Plus range of electropolishing products will return the characteristic properties of stainless steel to it’s maximum effect of being chromium rich, metallically clean and free from stress, a smoother surface with reduced microscopic cracks, minimum absolute surface area and chemically passive.

10 steps to follow when buying a TIG welder

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/10-steps-follow-buying-tig-welder/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/tig-welder.jpg

About to considering buying a new TIG welder? Before you part with your hard earned, there are important and key points to know first.

Transformer or Inverter

Until 2005 transformer machines were very common in the new machine market and due to their limitations in control and weight have been replaced by modern inverter welder products. Transformer machines would step down the primary input, either 240V single phase or 415V 2 / 3 phase to a lower voltage welding current and then step the output in an attempt to create a square wave output. The devices used for creating the stepped output were triacs. Generally pulse weld output and frequency control were not achievable in affordable units so the control panels are relatively simple. Your budget will address this one as transformer machines are mostly found in the second hand resale market.

Inverter machines despite their complex build are relatively simple in design. The incoming supply is rectified into DC. The DC current is inverted to AC by way of a full or half bridge inverter circuit at high frequency and then the AC is stepped down via a transformer. The output of the transformer is rectified into DC and this current is used in straight or alternating reverse polarity by a second stage transistor array. What are the benefits of an inverter machine? Read on.

Precise arc control with an inverter tig welder

2. What are the benefits of an inverter welder?

Due to the high frequency used to create the inverted AC wave in the step down transformer, magnetic flux is reduced and as a result the transformer shrinks in size and weight. When comparing a 50 Hz 200 amp transformer from an old transformer machine to a 100Khz 200 amp transformer from an inverter machine the difference can be 80:1, that is 80 kilograms to 1 kilogram. This is all to do with the operating frequency of the step down transformer.

So weight is the first key benefit, next is control. Modern inverter machines control the inversion of the AC before the step down transformer so they can also pulse the current. This type of product is called a pulse welder.

3. Do I need a pulse Tig welder?

Pulse welder mode is a beneficial feature that can assist the operator in lowering the overall weld current by pulsing it. When a pulse completes there is a period of time when the base current is introduced and it is lower, generally by 30%, than that of the pulse. This pulse base cycle allows the material to melt and solidify and achieve a level of melt that prevent excess or runaway heat so is an ideal process for thin walled material, and whilst we are on the subject of material….

4. What material can be welded with a TIG?

A TIG machine can weld any material. Think of the TIG as an electron beam heat pump with electrons flowing from negative to positive electrodes. When you add heat to a metal and enclose it in an inert gas shield that metal will melt. All metals are TIG welded with a negative electrode except aluminium or it’s alloys which requires an alternating current. Aluminium is covered with an oxide layer that melts at 3 times it’s temperature so when using an AC waveform the oxide is removed from the surface when the TIG torch is charged positively and the aluminium work piece melts when the TIG torch is charged negatively. If you don’t plan to weld aluminium then a straight DC welding machine is suitable. If on the other hand you plan to weld all materials then your only option is to invest in an AC/DC TIG. Machines with ACDC wave forms are more expensive as they contain a second stage transistor array for switching the output current in either straight or reverse polarity.

Tig welding control with a single knob

5. How many controls are required to weld?

Only one control is required and that is amperage , the other controls just make things easier. For AC welding having a balance control is a must and a frequency control for the AC waveform is icing on the cake. Consider the type of welds you will be creating and there is no harm in getting a very complicated product. Just because a feature is there doesn’t mean it needs to be used but as you grow into a product and gain experience you will find more adjustment can be introduced to your welds by using these extra features.

6. Multi process or Multi Function or single function?

If you buy a multi function welding machine, you can do several things such as MIG and TIG or TIG weld and Plasma Cut. It is advantage to buy a multi function welder every time and here is why.

When it comes to inverter based machines they already have an inverter circuit creating welding power. This welding power is available in either constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC). A CV machine like an inverter MIG can also be CC machine like a stick or TIG welder simply by switching what it is controlling, that is instead of being a MIG and controlling arc voltage, it starts to control arc current and works as a Stick welder. With plasma cutters it is the same process but they operate at a higher voltage around 100 volts DC under load so they have a second transformer winding and changeover relay to switch the plasma current from the step down transformer to the output. Our machines have a 5 year warranty regardless of whether they are single function or multi function welder products. The only time you would specifically stick to a single function product is when it is located in a fabrication shop and it is being used for one purpose most of the time, in such cases staff sharing the different functions is counter intuitive to productive work places just to save a few bucks.

Digital Tig Welder Control Panel

7. Do I need a digital panel or are analogue knobs ok?

Analogue panels are fine and have plenty of control. The Metalmaster analogue panel machines still have a digital control board with microprocessor control but employ analogue to digital converts which allow the operator to still experience old world charm on a modern machine.

If on the other hand you want every possible feature available then a digital panel allows for maximum features in the smallest space. Digital welders also have memory functions that allow the saving of preferred parameters and are ideal in fabrication shops where jobs can be stored and recalled at the press of a button.

8. How many amps will I need?

TIG welder penetration is all about amperage with a rough guide being 30 amps per mm of material thickness in aluminium and 25 amps per millimetre in steel. These figures are for full penetration into the material and don’t take into account weld joint type, ambient temperature or mass of material being welded. For a 200 amp machine you will easily weld 8mm plate from one side and if you want to go really thick you can pre heat with LPG or propane in order to raise the surrounding weld area by a few hundred degrees.

9. Duty Cycles, what are they and do they matter?

A duty cycle is the rating the manufacturer gives a welding machine so that the operator has a clear idea of how useful the machine is for welding at high amps or for prolonged periods. The duty cycle of an inverter welder is given as a percentage of time in a 10 minute period that the machine can output the set current at an ambient air temperature of 40 degrees celsius.

For example there are cheap 200 amp welders that quote a duty cycle of 20% at 180 amps, this would indicate very poor performance at 200 amps. To the contrary, Metalmaster ACDC TIG welder products have a rated duty cycle of 60% at 200 Amps making them ideal for dependable use for prolonged periods of time.

10. What to expect with a long welder warranty.

Warranty on welding machinery varies between manufacturers with most being between 1 and 3 years. It is critical to read the fine print of any warranty as some only warrant control boards for 1 year whilst covering a transformer (which will never fail) for 3 years. All Metalmaster welding machines come with a 5 year warranty for parts and labour giving the original owner many years of peace of mind.

AC DC Tig Mig Welders For Aluminium Boat Building

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/ac-dc-tig-mig-welders-boat-building/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/aluminium-boat-welded-with-tokentools-ac-dc-tig-welder-and-mig-welder-650x488.jpg

Many of the welding machines sold online by Tokentools are used to fabricate components for individuals involved with home projects right up to industrial customers but every now and again we are fortunate to be in the service of skilled legends that possess great knowledge and passion with an inspirational dream that manifests into reality.

Arne boat build progressing in 2012 with Tokentools MIG Welder atop the vessel

Arne striking a pose in front of his awesome ally boat

It has been quite a few years since I met Arne at the Wyong welding store way back in 2011 when he told me about his ambitious project. Arne was a freshly retired boat builder and was planning on building himself a small boat to celebrate his retirement. This was an ambitious project that required a dedicated site for the boat build and around 3 years of fabrication. I had no idea how big the boat was until Arne shared some photos with me. That’s not a boat I thought, that’s a bloody ship.

Arne used a Tokentools Alupulse AC DC Pulse Tig Welder, a TT MIG 205 Inverter Mig Welder and a TIG Welding Water Cooler. During the build Arne burnt through many rolls of wire and numerous kilograms of tig filler wire. As a supplier of quality welding equipment this was a great opportunity to receive feedback on our products as well as witness their use on a daily basis.

In the time the project took to complete Arne had gone through two spool guns and two water cooled Tig torches which is not bad considering the amount of welding required to finish the job. Next time someone carries on that you need to spend 10K on a Miller or Lincoln or Kemppi or Fronius welder in order to build something great perhaps instead consider that all you need is passion for what you want to achieve and persistence. When Arne shared his photos with me I was immediately drawn to the level of knowledge and experience he had in building a boat of this size from scratch.

Arne is quiet spoken man, he exudes great confidence yet is humble and does not self promote. Although planning took a lot of time, within three years Arne had taken this project from first arc strike to completion and fitted out the

entire boat. The mig and ACDC Tig welding machines used in the build have been superseded by newer models since 2011 and the addition of the Inverter pulse mig welder will enhance the process of aluminium boat building these days. The finished boat once launched below, quite a sirius build indeed 🙂

Alusync 215 AC DC Tig Welder For Aluminium On Sale | Welding Australia

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/ac-dc-tig-welders-aluminium-sale-welding-australia/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Metalmaster-Alusync-215-AC-DC-Inverter-Tig-Welder-Multi-Process-Plasma-Cutting-Machine-2-563x650.jpg

The ALUSYNC (Alu as in aluminium and Sync and in Synchronise) AC DC Tig model range has received it’s latest tech upgrade and transitioned into the must have welder for 2017. We are constantly assessing the feedback of our customers and user voice is a powerful tool for driving innovation. We wanted to continue with our direction of SMT digital architecture for the brains end of the welding range, just like we did years ago in the Alupulse 210 Pro and Metalmaster 215 Elite Digital Welder, but we did not want to give up the gentle control available from panel mounted knobs, nor the appeal of single glance settings recognition that can only be achieved with knobs. The solution of course was to hack both concepts together and incorporate analogue to digital converters that enable the best of both worlds.

Alusync 215 ACDC Tig welding machine features the following features.

Australian 5 Year Parts and Labour Warranty

AC Waveform for Tig Welding Aluminium and It’s Alloys

DC Waveform for Tig Welding Steel, Stainless Steel, other Metals

Built In 50 Amp Plasma Cutter

Full Function AC/DC Tig Welder to 210 Amps

Stick Welder to 170 Amps

IGBT Transistors Used For All Welding Inverter Sections

Over Current & Over Temperature Protection

Digital Microprocessor Control

High Duty Cycle 60% at 210 Amps

Fan on Demand – Fan activates to cool welding power source as required

Rear Mounted Female Panel Socket For Tig Water Coolers

Clear Control Panel Cover That Flips Down To Protect Knobs

Pre & Post Flow

Up and Down Slope

Start Amps and Crater Amps

High and Low Pulse Welding Modes

Arc Force For MMA Stick Welding

AC Frequency and AC Balance Control

Digital Mode Selection Via Push Button Membrane Switches

15 Amp Plug with 2 Metre (3 x 2.5mm) Input Supply Cable

HF Bush Button Ignition For Tig Welding Modes

The Alusync 215 AC DC Inverter Tig Welding Machine uses a high frequency ignition module to create the ionised gas path required to initiate the Tig welding arc. In order to facilitate an easy ignition cycle the start amps setting may be used to set a momentary amperage applied when the Tig tungsten electrode first ignites, similar to a hot start. The purpose is to heat the tungsten and ionise more shielding gas to provide stable arc ignition after which the arc power level either up slopes to the preset welding amperage or follows the input as set by the Tig foot control.

A clear plastic front cover has been added along with a new front end allowing even greater protection to the potentiometers. The digital amps display has been increased in size and all switches are bush button toggles allowing greater life expectancy than traditional throw type mechanisms.

Cooling is still taken care of by the large capacity high volume fan however a Fan On Demand (FOD) system handles the operation of the fan which results in a cleaner machine do to reduce particle intake when not welding. Other benefits are a quieter workshop in between welds.

AC welding frequency is available between 20 Hz and 250Hz with AC balance control values between 10% and 90% for cleaning of aluminium oxide layer. Pulse welding is available for both AC and DC Tig waveforms and the frequency range is 0.5Hz to 25Hz for low range jumping to 25Hz to 250Hz for high range.

When AC Tig welding aluminium at high amperage a Tig water cooler may be added as an option, we have included an IEC C14 socket on the rear panel to allow easy interfacing and synchronous switching, in other words, turn on the welder and the water cooler activates also.

The built in 50 amp plasma cutter offers 10 amps more power than the previous model which increases cutting capacity by 25%.

Silky smooth stick welding up to 170 amps thanks to the IGBT inverter core and ripple filtration achieved by the copper choke reducing the amount of AC ripple from the rectified output of the inverter providing near perfect DC current.

Over all we believe the new Alusync 215 AC DC Tig welding machine offers exceptional value for money and with the 5 year parts and labour warranty in Australia, provides peace of mind on a budget. For further enquiries or sales information please contact us on 1300 881 991.

Genuine Binzel MB Grip Mig Torch 15 24 25 36

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/genuine-binzel-mb-grip-mig-torch-15-24-25-36/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/authentic-binzel-abicor-mb-grip-mig-torch.jpg

Authentic Binzel MB Grip Mig Torch

Binzel has pioneered in many sectors of the welding market and one of the most impactful has been in the MIG torch arena. After sampling many Binzel knock offs usually marketed as “Binzel Style” I must say that longevity and reliability is found in originally branded gear. We have been supplying Binzel torches with our Mig welding machines for over a decade and I am proud to admit the failures are rare compared to the cheaper alternatives. Yes there is a price hit however given the cost to the average tradie when not welding due to down time, how much is it worth to be a penny pincher? As they say, a tight A!*e pays twice 🙂

You can see our range of Binzel Grip Mig Torches here. Currently we are stocking 4 metre and 5 metre MB24 KD, MB25AK and MB36KD. The part numbers and links to the products are as follows.

4 Metre MB Grip 24 KD, 5 Metre MB Grip 24 KD, 4 Metre MB Grip 25 AK, 5 Metre MB Grip 25 AK, 4 Metre MB Grip 36 KD, 5 Metre MB Grip 36 KD

Call our staff on 1300 881 991 or order via the online welding store at a time that suits you. All torches are shipped in Binzel boxes with contact tip spanner, one spare contact tip and an instruction manual. The Binzel series MB grip torch is fitted with a Euro connector.

Tig Torch Stand Holder - Magnetic Tig Rest

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/tig-torch-stand-holder-magnetic-tig-rest/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/tig-torch-stand-with-tig-torch-mounted-650x638.jpg

Perhaps the most notable issue faced by a TIG welding operator is where to put the torch when not welding. Often it is draped across the welding machine or just left on the bench which leads to breakages of critical Tig torch components. An ideal solution is to use a Magnetic Tig Torch Stand to mount the torch when not in use. The magnetic tig holders can accommodate left or right handed operation and affix easily to any surface capable of magnetic adhesion. The magnetic tig holders include a bolt mount for welding job clamp so that you may run the current via the base. Although a novel concept it is best to use a specialised magnetic job clamp for such as found in our Magnetic Job Clamp Section.

The tig torch rest can be purchased here for $29 or added as an option to any Tig welding Machine or Tig welding torch for $22.

Nitrous Oxide - Buy your own bottle and refill easily

Latest update on https://www.tokentools.com.au/nitrous-oxide-buy-bottle-refill-easily/

https://www.tokentools.com.au/wp-content/uploads/nitrous-oxide-own-your-cylinder-134x650.jpg

Buy your own nitrous oxide bottle

Buy your own Nitrous Oxide gas bottles from Tokentools Welding Equipment Supplies. A C size Nitrous gas cylinder contains 1.8Kg of liquified Nitrous Oxide and is ideal for use in a Nitrous Oxide System as part of an engine boosting solution. The cylinder dimensions are 54cm high x 17cm diameter, the cylinder weight is 6.5Kg.

Empty cylinders may be returned to us for a refill swap at a discounted rate. Nitrous Oxide refill for this cylinder is available here.

Warning: Automotive-grade liquid nitrous oxide differs slightly from medical-grade nitrous oxide. A small amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is added to prevent substance abuse.

General Nitrous Oxide Information:

When nitrous oxide is injected into a suitable race engine, the nitrous oxide, commonly referred to a “NITROUS” allows a combustion engine to burn more fuel by providing a greater amount of oxygen at the precise moment it is required resulting in a more powerful fuel/air detonation. On it’s own nitrous as a gas is not flammable at low temperature or pressure but when it enters the combustion chamber of a hot engine the oxygen and nitrogen molecules break apart freeing up the oxygen to bond with the fuel and combust. Additional fuel is added to keep the fuel air ratio from leaning out causing engine damage. Another benefit is that the gas is stored as a liquid and when it vaporises in the inlet manifold, the gas molecules absorb heat in order to expand thus creating a densely packed fuel charge further adding to the horsepower boost. Nitrous oxide must be used with a fuel delivery and injection system.
