A new edition of the Guide to Weld Purging is published by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques, pioneers in the field of purging technology, and manufacturers of the Multi-Strike brand of tungsten electrodes
Water-soluble film for a weld internal barrier
Creating a controlled environment around a weld inside a pipe or tube can be difficult but using water-soluble plastic film as a purge barrier contributes to efficiency and overall cost effectiveness
Helping to eliminate rewelds and reworking due to defects, thus decreasing costs, the tape also increases weld productivity, cutting set-up and weld times significantly.
Weld Backing Tape is manufactured to the highest standards by a company with a reputation for quality and innovation.
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques is a pioneer in the field of weld purging and is the manufacturer of the famous MulitiStrike tungsten electrodes.
The tape is inexpensive and supplied in rolls of 25 metres.
The metallic, adhesive tape has a glass fibre strip, which is held up against the weld preparation area and maintains the weld in the same plane as the plates or tubes being joined.
In certain circumstances, the use of backing tape can replace purging of the underside as oxygen is absent and coking, oxidisation or discolouration prevented.
It is therefore suitable for situations where the use of purge gas is impractical or expensive.
Weld Backing Tape from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques is available in two versions, catering for weld applications up to 80 Amps and heavy duty applications up to 160 Amps.
In each case, the glass fibre strip is 25mm wide, making it ideal for even wide weld channels in thick-walled material. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
