Remote Weld Purge Monitoring

The exposure to oxygen during the welding process on alloys such as stainless steel will result in discolouration and can severely reduce corrosion resistance properties. It is therefore crucial that the oxygen level is monitored throughout the welding process and kept to a desired level. However, is often difficult for welding personnel to get an […]

Eliminate Porosity During Welding with a Dew Point Sensor

The presence of moisture on the joint surface can create porosity in the weld metal. It is therefore important that the dew point is monitored so that welders are made aware when moisture is likely to be present. Innovators in Weld Purging Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have recently developed the PurgeNet™ Dew Point Purging Gas […]

Weld Purging with Preheat

In the power generation and nuclear industry, low and medium alloy steels such as SA 213 T91 and SA 335 P91 are chosen for their high strength, but are often prone to cracking during welding. Pre-heating and post-heating reduces the crack sensitivity. In order to meet the requirements of inert gas purging when temperatures exceed […]
