        --Have listened to Ernie and am in the process of getting a
flowmeter for my argon tank. The trouble is I haven't been able to find one
with anything other than a 0-100cfm scale on a small column; i.e. there's
insufficient resolution to see what's really going on! Anyone got a link to
one that's readable?

Ernie and I went through this recently. I found some NOS Meco flowmeters on ebay
that have really good resolution at the low end, essential for helium. I also
like the Harris No. 355 regulator/flowmeter - it has good resolution as well.
(So does the 356 dual flowmeter ..).

I cobbled up a dual-flowmeter setup using the Meco flowmeters, but then I got a
factory-made dual. I'd be willing to let go of the flowmeters individually or
together, whatever.

        --Thanks for the input; the only brand we seem to have at the local
Praxxair is Victor and there's not much of a selection.

If you only shop local at one store then why ask here, just look to see
what they carry? On the other hand, if you are willing to open up your
search parameters a little, you can get what you need.
