Choosing the correct gas delivery system for metalworking
- By John Karpus
- Sep 9, 2013
- Consumables
- Article
Supplying gas to your metalworking applications can be complicated, especially if the gas needs to reach multiple locations. If you are looking for cost savings and productivity gains, consider installing gas cylinders at one main location and controlling them with a basic manifold or switchover manifold. With this method you won’t need to worry about cylinders running out of gas.
