TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, also known as GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), produces some of the highest quality welds possible. The process uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create the arc, with filler metal added separately. TIG is used for stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, and precision critical welds.
The WP-12 is a compact, lightweight air cooled TIG torch rated at 150A. Its small head design makes it ideal for welding in confined spaces where a larger torch cannot gain access, and also provides excellent arc visibility for precision work on thin materials. Commonly used in instrumentation, aerospace components, and light fabrication.
The WP-17 is the most widely used TIG torch in Indian industry. A 150A air cooled torch that offers an excellent balance of size, versatility, and parts availability. Used across stainless steel fabrication, food equipment manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, and general engineering. The WP-17 accepts the widest range of spare parts in the TIG world.
The WP-18 is a heavy-duty water cooled TIG torch rated at 350A — the highest-rated standard TIG torch configuration. The water cooling allows the torch to sustain 350A indefinitely in continuous welding, making it essential for heavy-section stainless steel, thick aluminium, and high-deposition TIG applications in heavy industry and pressure vessel manufacturing.
The WP-26 is a 200A air cooled TIG torch with an integrated gas control valve on the torch body. The on-torch valve allows the welder to start and stop shielding gas flow directly without reaching back to the regulator or footpedal — particularly useful in positional or field welding where setup agility is important.
Flexible neck TIG torches feature a bendable swan neck section that can be shaped to any angle by hand. This allows the welder to maintain the correct torch angle in joints with limited access — corner welds, T-joints in tight structures, pipe socket welds, and repair welding. The flexible section retains its set position during welding.
Valve type TIG torches combine the standard WP torch body with an integrated gas control valve, giving the welder direct manual control over shielding gas flow without additional foot controls. Available across multiple amperage ratings for air cooled applications in the field, maintenance welding, and positional TIG work.
Complete TIG spare parts range covering ceramic nozzles, collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, and back caps for all WP series torches.
TIG ceramic nozzles direct the shielding gas flow around the tungsten electrode and weld pool. Larger nozzle numbers (#8–#12) provide better gas coverage at the cost of access in tight joints. Smaller nozzles (#4–#6) are preferred for root pass welding and tight joint access. Available for WP-12, WP-17, WP-18, WP-26 torches.
Collets grip the tungsten electrode and are held in the collet body which threads into the torch head. Correct collet-to-tungsten diameter match is essential — using the wrong size collet will cause arc instability and tungsten inclusions in the weld. We stock full size ranges for all WP series torches.
Gas lenses replace the standard collet body and feature a stainless steel mesh screen inside that straightens the shielding gas flow from turbulent to laminar. Laminar flow provides much better gas coverage — especially at longer tungsten stick-outs used on aluminium, titanium, and corrosion-critical stainless steel welds.
Back caps seal the rear of the TIG torch head and hold the tungsten electrode in position. Long back caps accommodate full-length tungsten rods; short back caps are used where overhead clearance is limited. The back cap choice does not affect welding performance — it is purely governed by access in the welding position.
