This video covers the most common TIG torch types used in weld shops, including air-cooled and water-cooled torches. It explains how each torch is cooled, how they connect to different machines, and why factors like amperage, duty cycle, and setup complexity matter.
What you'll see:
What the main types of TIG torches are commonly found in a weld shop
How air-cooled TIG torches use ambient air and shielding gas for cooling
Why single-piece and two-piece air-cooled torches pair with different machines
How water-cooled TIG torches manage higher amperage applications
Why torch size, duty cycle, and maintenance differ between air-cooled and water-cooled options
Who this helps:
Welding supervisors, shop leads, and experienced TIG welders who need to choose the correct torch setup for their machines, amperage requirements, and daily production needs.
Chapters:
0:00 Introduction to TIG Torch Types
0:18 How Air-cooled TIG Torches Work
0:28 Single Piece vs Two-Piece Air-cooled Torches
0:47 Water-cooled TIG Torch Overview
1:04 Air-cooled vs Water-cooled Comparison
1:19 Duty Cycle and Torch Size Differences
1:31 Copper and Cooling Considerations
1:41 Consumables and Additional Resources
