How large must my LP tank be to provide sufficient gas flow to operate the torch?
You must first determine the gas flow needed to support the tip being used. The gas flow needed for a tip is usually measured in cubic feet per hour or liters per minute. You can find gas flow rates for Smith tips on our website, catalog or in our operations manual. There are two main factors that determine the flow capability of an LP tank; the size of the tank and the surrounding air temperature. The attached table represents the flow capacity in cubic feet per hour for various tank sizes at various temperatures.
