Low Cost Weld Purge Monitor® for Stainless Steel Welding

Measuring the oxygen level before, during and after welding stainless steel is crucial to achieve oxide free, zero colour welds. During stainless steel welding, the oxygen content must be purged down to a level as low as 100 ppm. The low cost, hand held, battery operated PurgEye® 100, designed and developed by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques […]

Weld Purge Dams for Dished Ends and Short Pipes

Weld Purging (back purging) describes the removal of oxygen from the vicinity of a weld before, during and after welding. For pipe and tank welding of stainless steels, titanium and chrome steels, it is good practice to restrict the area required to be purged, usually with an inflatable tandem weld purging system. For the purging […]

Oxygen Analyzer for Weld Purging Technology

Oxygen Analyzer developed for the welding industry. In 1975, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® was approached by British Nuclear Fuels Limited (BNFL) to provide them with an oxygen analyzer that was more suitable for the welding industry. Until that time, oxygen monitors were large, expensive and bulky instruments, especially those that would give a reading that would […]

Inert Gas Welding Monitor

Prior to inert gas welding (weld purging), the oxygen content must be reduced (purged) to a level as low as 100 ppm for stainless steels and as low as 50 ppm for zirconium and titanium. When oxygen levels are too high, the parent materials will suffer from a loss of corrosion resistance and metallurgical imperfections. […]

The Experts in Purging while Welding

Specialising in Weld Purging, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® remain at the forefront of Weld Purging (purging in welding) Technology. What is ‘Weld Purging’ (purging in welding)? When metals such as stainless steel, titanium and zirconium are welded in contact with air, the metals’ metallic elements may combine with oxygen and nitrogen to form undesirable compounds. […]

Weld Backing Tape® saves grinding time and costs

When the undersides of welds are ragged and uneven, they often need grinding to smooth them out. This costs labour time and money for grinding materials. The use of Argweld® fiberglass Backing Tape® can save these costs by leaving a smooth fully penetrating, clean weld that needs no further work. Weld Purging Experts Huntingdon Fusion […]

Construction Site Weld Purge Monitor®

There are considerable challenges when working on constructions sites, particularly when the conditions are in the open air. Taking into account global conditions, there might be extreme heat or extreme cold, sandstorms, dust storms, rain storms and winds. All conditions have their own difficulties for expensive equipment and quality results. Because of the extreme variations […]

Zero colour oxide free welds for manual welders

Titanium, stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials need to be shielded with an inert gas while welding takes place, in order to protect the molten weld pool from combining with oxygen and nitrogen from the surrounding air. Without this protection, welds will oxidise and can form metallurgical defects that may cause weld joint failure. […]
