Kemppi Flexlite TX K5 Torches - 7 Pin FAQs

Answers to common questions about choosing, connecting and looking after 7-pin TIG torches in air-cooled and water-cooled versions.

Should I choose an air-cooled or a water-cooled TIG torch?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

It mostly comes down to current and how long you weld at it. Air-cooled torches rely on the surrounding air and the shielding gas for cooling, so they are lighter and simpler and suit lighter-duty, shorter or more portable jobs. Water-cooled torches need a cooling unit and coolant, but they usually have a higher duty cycle and a lighter, more flexible cable, which suits sustained high-current welding.

Check the current you actually weld at and for how long, then compare it with the torch's rating on its data plate. Where you are close to the limit, the water-cooled option is usually the safer choice.

What do the amp rating and duty cycle on a TIG torch mean?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The amp rating is the current the torch is designed to carry, and the duty cycle is the share of a 10-minute period it can run at that current without overheating. Running above the rated current reduces the duty cycle, and a torch usually has no thermal cut-out of its own, so the machine's protection may not stop it. The consumables, hose and handle can be damaged if it overheats.

If different parts of a torch have different current limits, the lowest one is the limit that applies. Always match the torch rating to your power source and your typical welding current, and read the exact figures from the data plate and manual rather than from a general guide.

What is the difference between a flexible neck, a rigid angled neck and a swivel or rotate-and-lock head?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

A flexible neck can be bent by hand to reach awkward joints, though the bending point can loosen with repeated use. A rigid angled neck holds one fixed angle and is usually the choice for steady, repeatable work on open joints. Swivel and rotate-and-lock designs let you change the head angle without bending a neck, which can help with pipe and repeated positions.

There is no single best option: pick the style that matches the joints you weld most often, then choose the size of torch from the current you need. Our team can help you choose if you are unsure.

Do I need a torch with a gas valve for scratch start or lift arc TIG?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

If you are using a stick (MMA) power source for TIG, you generally need a torch with a manual gas valve in the torch body, because the machine does not control the gas for you. You open the valve to start the shielding gas flow, then strike the arc by scratch or touch start. Torches with a valve are designed for this purpose, usually on the air-cooled side.

If your machine is a full TIG power source with a torch socket and gas control, you would normally use a torch without a valve and let the machine control the gas. Scratch start carries a higher risk of tungsten contamination, so it is not recommended for critical welds.
