Replace Ceramic Backing Tape for Supported Weld Roots

Ceramic Backing Tape is often used to help support weld roots. However, with a melting point of 1,800ºC, concerns grow during TIG welding, where temperatures can reach up to 6,000ºC. Leaders in Weld Purging Technology, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® manufacture a range of Weld Backing Tape®, with no true melting point, helping to support weld […]

Weld Purge Oxygen Monitor

Weld Purging is the act of removing oxygen from the vicinity of a weld, before, during and after welding reactive metals by displacing the oxygen with an inert gas (usually argon). When welding stainless steel, the oxygen level must be reduced to a required minimum, which is less than 100 ppm. The most effective way […]

Low Cost Pipe Purging with Weld Purge Plugs

Weld Purging small pipes of different diameters can be challenging, especially when budgets are tight. Often, welders are left to create their own homemade purging dams out of unsuitable materials such as foam, paper or cardboard. Weld Purging Experts Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® manufacture a range of low cost, lightweight Weld Purge Plugs for a […]

PurgElite® Tandem Pipe Purging System

Inflatable Tube and Pipe Purging Systems simplify the process of inert gas purging by restricting weld purge volumes, making huge savings in time and inert gas. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® design and manufacture PurgElite®, a range of low cost Tube and Pipe Purging Systems that help to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero colour weld […]

Thoriated Tungsten Electrodes are left in the dust with MultiStrike®

Red tipped thoriated Tungsten Electrodes are said to contain 1.70% to 2.20% thorium. Thorium improves the quality of Tungsten Electrodes but also has a radio-toxic compound posing a risk to welders, particularly during grinding. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®’s blue-tipped MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes contain a mix of non-radioactive rare earth elements, eliminating the risk to health […]

Low Cost Alternative to Metal Glove Boxes

There is an ever-increasing demand in industries such as the Aerospace, Medical and Motorsport for high quality welded titanium components. Often, welding has to be carried out in an environment under 50 parts per million throughout the welding cycle. Metal glove boxes were previously a big success, however with the lack of flexibility, heavy in […]

Weld Purging On-Site with the PurgEye® Site

Welders often face weld purging difficulties when working under the conditions experienced on-site including exposure to extremes of heat and cold, harmful sand and dust and even hazardous fumes, where an expensive Weld Purge Monitor® may not always be ideal. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have designed and developed the PurgEye® Site, which is manufactured inside […]

Low Cost Pipe Stopping when access is tight

Pipe stopping where access is tight can pose challenges for when duties such as repair work, leak testing and weld purging are required. Pipestoppers®, a Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® design and manufacture a Range of Mechanical and Inflatable Pipestoppers® and Plugs to suit a variety of applications. Ron Sewell, Chairman at HFT® said: […]

QuickPurge® for Weld Purging Large Diameter Pipework

Weld Purging large diameter pipework made from stainless, duplex and chrome steels, titanium or zirconium can be expensive, with requirements to have the oxygen level well below 100 ppm during the welding cycle. As it is not cost effective to completely fill pipework with expensive inert gas, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have developed QuickPurge® Systems […]

Protect your weld with the New Design Argweld Weld Trailing Shield®

Protecting titanium and stainless steel welds from coming into contact with air whilst they cool prevents oxidation, weld defects and rework. Leaders in Weld Purging Technology, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have launched their re-designed Argweld Weld Trailing Shields®, which provide an additional inert gas coverage during welding, preventing the hot metal from coming into contact with […]

Pipe Maintenance with Pipe Freezing

Companies currently facing system downtime can drastically reduce pipe and valve repair and maintenance costs with Accu-Freeze™ available from the Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®. Georgia Gascoyne, CEO for HFT® said: “Pipe freezing is a simple and efficient way of sealing a pipe or system while pipe repairs or general pipework maintenance is […]

Inflatable Pipe Stoppers for Sealing, Blocking and Testing

Single Ended Inflatable Dams are readily available in a variety of shapes and sizes for a range of applications including sealing, blocking, pressure testing and isolation. Pipe stopping equipment from the Pipestoppers® Division from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® gives the user the opportunity to isolate a section of pipeline to carry out repair and maintenance […]
