    well i know we use those in welding so i dunno if it would or not. they do show real time flow rate.

    i would assume the weights of the gasses would make a difference but your local welding store should be able to tell you. IMO i think it would be fine since alot of people run straight co2 instead of the mix if they aren't doing super delicate stuff ie sheetmetal or show welds. i run straight co2 on my main unit and a co2/argon on my smaller sheetmetal unit.
