Would using a 200 foot extension cord which is 6 gauge 3 wire cord on a 220 single phase welder present any problems?
Absolutely, you will have voltage drop, maybe enough voltage drop that the welder will not work <<>> To do a voltage drop calculation for the 200 foot cable the input amperage of the welder needs to be stated. At a maximum distance of 201 feet and limiting the voltage drop to 3% or less, a #6 copper conductor can deliver 37 amps on a 220 volt system. Check the nameplate on the welder to see if it falls withing the range of 37 amps input amperage. Do not use the welders output amperage.
What is the conductor size for a spot welder draw 90 amp with a duty cycle 40 percent?
It's not so much the duty cycle you have to worry about but the current draw, 8 gauge wire is more than sufficient to hold the current draw of your spot welder.
Which tool is best to measure linear distance?
small hole gauge
How do I wire a single phase 120 amp 230 volt flux and mig welder to a 200 amp panel?
It is very likely that the 120A current you quote is the output current. Check your Welder Box and look at the input current. It is likely around 30 Amps. To wire a 30A circuit you will need 10 gauge wire and it is likely 3 conductots + ground. You will need a 230V Breaker. Connect the black and red wires from the 10 gauge cable to the breaker, white wire to neutral and ground to ground.
How much should an electrician in CA charge for installing a 50 amp outlet?
It depends on the distance from the electric panel and the difficulty in running the wire. You need 8 gauge wire and the outlet itself is expensive. You also need to describe if it is single or three phase to allow an answer that makes any sense.
What wire gauge do you need for welder using 60 amps when runnung for a distance of 35 feet?
#6 awg copper
Where can one buy a new welder pressure gauge?
There are a few places online such as Welding Web, Grainger as well as Lincoln Electric offer websites that someone looking to purchase a Pressure Gauge for a welder can be purchased.
What gauge wire is used for electric furnace heating elements?

What is used to mark the distance from an edge?
It is a marking gauge.
How do you read micrometer screw gauge readings?
The distance between each line of the body is equal to 0.5 mm. Gauge the distance between each line is equal to 0.01 mm.
What is the correct gauge for electric guitar strings?
There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.
