13 gauge tube is about .095" which is 1/16th of an inch we'll call it....


Miller weld calc calls for 50 to 80 amps for TIG on Stainless butt weld.... using a 1.6mm tungsten and same size filler... Gas flow should be about 11 CFH


So you're close.... Personally I like to choose a bit on the high side of the range -- because I can back off the amperage with the foot pedal -- or hand control and just use whatever it takes to get the job done.
