B5.5 TRANSGUNS AND HANGING PORTABLE GUNS:
Consult the specifications sheets
or manufacturer of these types of
welders to find the proper number
that represents the “effective
area” of the welder.
If the specification shows the TIP
FORCE at a particular AIR
PRESSURE, then the effective
AREA of CYLINDER that will be
entered is calculated as:
Effective AREA of CYLINDER = TIP FORCE / AIR PRESSURE
EXAMPLE: The chart on the welding gun specification sheet shows:
688 pounds at 80psi.
The calculation will be: effective AREA of CYLINDER = 688/80 = 8.6
Enter this number as the AREA of CYLINDER in PROGRAM
979.
If the specification sheet for the welding gun has
values in metric, convert the numbers first to
inches and psi. Then do the calculation.
