Check all the boxes for types of TIG torch coolant

• Element cooled

• Water cooled

• Air Cooled

• Oil cooled

What Does GTAW mean?

• Gas Tube Arc Welding

• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

• Gas Tungsten Alloy Welding

• Gas Trapped Arc Welding

When should you use a Water cooled TIG torch?

• Applications above 100 Amps

• Applications above 150 Amps

• Applications above 200 Amps

• Applications above 250 Amps

What does TIG mean?

• Tube in Gas

• Tungsten in Gas

• Tube inverted Gas

• Tungsten Inert Gas

Check all boxes that show what the foot control does

• Controls the Amperage

• Turns on the welding arc

• Turns on the gas flow

• Controls the coolant flow

How far should the tungsten electrode stick out from the cup?

• The diameter of the filler rod

• The diameter of the tungsten electrode

• The thickness of the material being welded

• Only the pointed angle of the electrode

What does the back cap on the torch do?

• Tightens the collet around the tungsten electrode

• Adjusts the length of the tungsten electrode

• Turns the torch on and off

• Creates a heat sync to reduce heat build up

List the #s in the correct order when setting up a TIG torch

(The order of setup)

1 - Screw in the Collet Body and tighten with a wrench

2 - Tighten the Back cap

3 - Slide the collet over the Tungsten Electrode

4 - Attach the Heat Shield

5 - Adjust the length of the Tungsten

6 - Loosely screw on the Back cap

7 - Attach the Ceramic Cup

8 - Insert the Tungsten Electrode through the back of torch
