These stoppers will not invert (turn over) inside a pipe under pressure because they are longer than their diameter.
These stoppers are used where the position of the stopper is not important. They can be put at any angle and still make a seal.
HFT Pipestoppers® Cylindrical and Spherical Inflatable Stoppers are available from 1 to 96" (25 to 2440 mm) diameter. They are manufactured using a high-quality robust latex inner tube and polyurethane-impregnated nylon fabric outer cover. They are supplied with a length of flexible inflation hose and a sealing valve. Inflatable Stoppers are available with heat-resistant covers to protect them against high temperatures. All HFT Pipestoppers® Inflatable Pipe Stoppers are manufactured with a strong internal inflatable bag made to the required shape and covered in a waterproof sewn polyurethane-coated nylon for low friction and to prevent the production of static electricity or accidental sparking.
Heat-resistant covers are available as an accessory for the Standard Cylindrical and Spherical Inflatable Stoppers range when exposed to temperatures of up to 300ºC (572ºF). These specially designed covers can endure high temperatures, protecting the Inflatable Stoppers and preventing them from being damaged or bursting. The covers are reusable without losing their heat-protecting properties.
HFT Pipestoppers® Heat Resistant Covers are manufactured to suit all sizes within the Standard Inflatable Stoppers range of 1 – 96” (25 to 2,440 mm). These covers are identical to those used on the chemical-resistant inflatable stopper PetroChem Stoppers.
"The purge meters are second to none."
"I am a huge fan of Huntingdon products and have talked to others over the years about using them. The purge meters are second to none. I own and use regularly my PurgEye 100 and my PurgEye 300. I think somewhere, I still have my original Argweld® MKV monitor, which sadly no longer powers up. I am a scarce breed because I have 3 degrees and a complete academic understanding of metallurgy, but more importantly, welding science; I also have over 20 years of hands-on experience in welding on drill floors, firing lines, and vessel shops. I quite literally have a passion for old-fashioned welding! Excellent product, guys!"

"One of the best, if not the best, residual oxygen detector instruments on the market."
"I believe the PurgEye to be one of the best if not the best, residual oxygen detector instruments on the market with its digital residual oxygen level LED display readouts measuring as low as 0.01% and its large, user-friendly viewing screen making it easier for me to read. I also believe the PurgEye has great accuracy in residual oxygen, with speedy measurements displayed within seconds. The PurgEye is a far cry from the old school homemade 'use a cigarette lighter' to check purge gas flow system."

"Purge monitors are a necessity."
"I can personally vouch for purge monitors. When working with medium to large-diameter exotic pipework, they can prevent you from having a terrible day! I've only used the older model, which was a godsend. Anyone, from the welder who has had to carry out weld repairs due to root weld oxidation (or coking) on such materials, to the directors facing an expensive bill for re-work and possible tarnished company reputation, to the client with their project now running behind schedule - knows exactly what I mean. Purge monitors are a necessity."
