Gas Requirements
The regulated source gas supplies are provided
by the customer.
Refer to
Section 2
for specifications.
Caution: Gas supply pressures not within the parameters outlined in Section 2 can cause
poor cut quality, poor consumable life, and operational problems.
Note: If the purity level of the gas is too low or if there are leaks in the supply hoses or
connections, cut speeds can decrease, cut quality can deteriorate, cutting thickness
capability can decrease, and parts life can shorten.
If making hard plumbing connections, avoid using iron pipe. Never use PTFE tape on any
joint preparation. After installation, pressurize the entire system and check for leaks.
Air as Plasma Gas
Refer to
Section 2
for gas specifications.
Two different sources of air can be used to supply the plasma gas requirements of the system: cylinder
compressed air or shop compressed air.
From Cylinder Compressed Air or Shop Air to Gas Console
Use an inert gas hose to connect the air supply to the input connection on the gas console. Hosing can be
purchased through Hypertherm.
When using air as the plasma or shield gas, Hypertherm recommends a three-stage filtration system. See
Appendix section for suggested filtration.
