Monitor Your Weld Purge at a Distance

When welding long pipelines, one problem operators often face is not receiving a fast and true weld purge reading from the weld zone. Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® make it possible to have an immediate reading of the weld purge gas from any distance up to 1,000 metres away with the PurgEye® 1000.  This unique Weld […]

Effective Heavy-Duty Pipe Stopping

HFT® Pipestoppers® Aluminium Plugs have been designed for use in applications where pipes carrying fluids need to be plugged or sealed. They are available up to 36’’ (900mm) and can accommodate temperatures up to 250⁰C. These heavy-duty plugs are manufactured with a low-friction washer to ease tightening of the ring nut that expands a rubber […]

Oxygen Monitor for Welding

Inert gas welding requires the elimination of oxygen from the weld zone during the welding of reactive metals including stainless steel. Before the welding process begins, the oxygen level must be reduced to a required minimum, which is less than 100 ppm when welding stainless steel. The low cost, hand held, battery operated PurgEye® 100, […]

Low Cost Weld Purge Plugs for Tube and Pipe Weld Purging

Due to tight budgets, welders sometimes have to construct their own Weld Purging Equipment, often made from materials such as paper, card, sponge or foam. Homemade dams made from such materials can often lead to loss of welds when they leak or slip from position thus flooding the welding zone with oxygen. The Pipestoppers® Division […]

Titanium Welding in the Motor Sport Industry

Titanium Welding: Ti 22 MkII wins first place at Hillsborough Concours Vintage race class. The Ti 22 MKII was re-built from original drawings and photos. See HFT White Paper WP-271 Titanium in Motor Sport. The titanium welding was carried out in an Argweld® Flexible Welding Enclosure, providing a complete inert atmosphere down to as low as […]

Increase the life of your Tungsten Electrode with MultiStrike®

Thoriated tungsten electrodes are still widely used in GTAW/TIG welding despite the potential health hazards. Thoria is added primarily to stabilize the arc but it is radio-toxic and radio-toxic dust is generated during electrode grinding. To overcome the risk posed by harmful products Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®’s blue-tipped MultiStrike® Tungsten Electrodes contain a mix of […]

Hydrocarbon Resistant PetroChem® Stoppers

Pipe blocking and stopping pipes containing hydrocarbons such as petroleum products and natural gas can often pose challenges, with normal Pipestoppers unable to withstand such intense conditions. The Pipestoppers® Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® manufacture a range of hydrocarbon resistant stoppers called PetroChem® Stoppers. Manufactured from a high-grade latex, the PetroChem® Stoppers offer a […]

pipe purging

Replace Foam with a Quality Pipe Purging System

Pipe Purging: Some pipe welding companies buy in sheets of thick foam and the dams then have to be hand made. During welding, the foam heats up and release fumes that are not healthy for a high purity weld or the welder. Often, welders burn their hands whilst hurriedly removing a foam dam, which might […]

Welding Enclosures for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing

TWI (The Welding Institute) states that: “Wire arc additive manufacturing uses arc welding power sources and manipulators to build 3D shapes through arc deposition. This process commonly uses wire as a material source and follows a predetermined path to create the desired shape. This method of additive manufacture is usually performed using robotic welding equipment.” […]

Weld Purge Monitor for On-Site Conditions

Welding on site can pose difficult challenges, including exposure to extremes of heat and cold, harmful sand and dust and even hazardous fumes. Contamination during welding can lead to loss of corrosion resistance and a reduction in strength so control of oxygen levels is crucial. With another innovative development, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have designed […]
