Read the cylinder, not the regulator

The pressure marking is stamped on the cylinder shoulder along with the test date. Matching regulator to cylinder is a two-second check that people skip because bottles usually come from the same supplier.

Turbulence is the trap

Turning the flow up when a weld goes porous is instinctive and often wrong. Beyond a certain flow the shield becomes turbulent and entrains air — the very fault you were trying to fix.

Sources

Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

The questions welders ask

Why does the inlet rating matter?

Because it must meet or exceed the cylinder’s filled pressure. Most European industrial cylinders are filled to 200 bar; some are 300. Fitting a 200 bar regulator to a 300 bar cylinder is a real hazard, and it is the sort of mismatch that happens when someone borrows a bottle. Check the cylinder shoulder marking before fitting anything.

What flow should I set?

For MIG with a standard nozzle, 8 to 12 l/min is the usual range; TIG with a gas lens often works lower. More is not better — excessive flow becomes turbulent and pulls air into the shield, producing porosity that looks exactly like too little gas.
