Pipe purging system feels the heat: but
stays cool
Argweld heat resistant pipe purging systems from HFT allow for the welding of high-temperature applications providing a cost-efficient, time-saving tool for clean and reliable welds
Argweld heat resistant pipe purging systems from HFT (Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Ltd) allow for the welding of high-temperature applications, or in high temperature conditions, providing a cost-efficient, time-saving tool for clean and reliable welds Argweld Heat Resistant Pipe Purging Systems are designed for materials whose pipe joints and adjacent areas need to be pre-heated prior to and after welding in order to avoid cracking

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
Such materials (such as P91, a high-strength and lightweight chrome steel) are used in high-stress, high-pressure applications and must be purged throughout the welding process to prevent coking and the formation of notches.
This system enables fabricators to purge pipes in temperatures of 300 degrees Celsius for up to 24 hours.
The Argweld Heat Resistant Pipe Purging System comprises two heavy-duty inflatable dams connected by a flexible argon gas pipe.
The whole system is covered in heat resistant material, while the spinal hose is covered with bonded pre-formed mineral wool to British Standard specification.
Models are available from 4" upward, with a range of 12mm approximately.
By localising the volume to be purged, fabricators benefit from decreased waiting time and shielding gas costs, while the effective elimination of atmospheric gases ensure smooth and even penetration beads on all pipe joints. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
