Wp17 Gas Lens

A gas lens collet bodie for WP17, WP18 and WP26 Weldcraft® style TIG torches. The gas lens collet body screws into the TIG torch and holds the collet in place. By screwing the gas lens body into the torch, it clamps down onto the collet and loosens or tightens the grip on the tungsten.

A WP17 standard gas lens is an essential tool for any welder aiming for higher precision, cleaner welds, and improved efficiency. Its ability to enhance gas coverage, reduce turbulence, and improve weld visibility makes it indispensable for achieving consistent and high-quality welding results across various applications.

Advantages

-Enhanced Gas Coverage. The standard gas lens distributes shielding gas more evenly over the weld area, ensuring a stable and laminar gas flow. This minimises contamination from the surrounding air, leading to cleaner and higher-quality welds.

-Improved Weld Visibility. By providing a concentrated gas flow, the gas lens improves visibility of the welding arc and the workpiece. This is particularly beneficial for detailed work where precision is crucial.

-Reduced Turbulence. The design of the gas lens, often featuring a mesh or perforated disc, reduces turbulence in the shielding gas flow. This steadier gas coverage is essential for achieving consistent weld quality, especially in critical applications.

-Versatile Applications. Suitable for a wide range of welding tasks, from precision work on thin materials to more demanding industrial applications. It is effective in welding various metals, including stainless steel, aluminium, and titanium.
