Here are some of our FAQ’s: What is the intended application for the Argweld® PurgEye® 1000 Remote Weld Purge Monitor®? The Argweld® PurgEye® 1000 allows welding personnel to get an accurate reading of […]

Welding Stainless Steel

Avoiding loss of corrosion Many industries rely on the corrosion resistance of stainless steels including the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and nuclear. It has become common practice in some applications to accept discolouration and remove it post-welding, but this can be very expensive. It is time-consuming and, where access is limited, difficult to achieve […]

Dew Point Sensor

Dew Point Sensor: During purging, welders need to measure the oxygen content but also need to measure the ‘dew point’. The dewpoint is the temperature where condensation begins and water will condense on the material being welded. This can affect the weld properties significantly. We have recently added a Dew Point Sensor to our range […]

Our all in one, colour touch-screen PurgEye 600 with PurgeNet™ reads from atmospheric, down to 1 ppm oxygen (accurate to 10 ppm). Here are some of our Frequently Asked Questions. Q. What is the intended application for the Argweld® PurgEye 600 Weld Purge Monitor®? For weld quality control in aerospace, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, vacuum, biotech, food […]

Weld Purge Monitors

Weld Purge Monitors are essential instruments when welding reactive metals such as stainless steel, titanium, zirconium and nickel alloys. In the 1970s, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® developed the first of a new line of instruments, which led to the birth of the Weld Purge Monitors. Early in 2013, after nearly 40 years of updating designs and continuous […]

Welding Titanium: Tips for Success

Welding Titanium: Techniques for success! Welding Titanium: Titanium is a reactive metal. When it is heated during welding it will react with oxygen that surrounds it, forming oxidised welds, which will lead to loss of corrosion resistance properties. In many industries today, this is no longer acceptable. Oxidised welds will be rejected, causing unnecessary rework. […]

Oxygen Monitoring provides high quality and lowest cost Welds

Oxygen monitoring with a Weld Purge Monitor are essential instruments to help obtain zero colour welds by monitoring the oxygen level when welding, where a high quality weld is important. By striving for oxygen free welds, companies can eliminate the post weld cleaning costs, which can be very high making the cost of each weld […]

Foam Sponge in Weld Purging

The use of foam sponge in Weld Purging is a popular choice for Welders today, but to achieve the highest quality of welds, other materials are better suited. Foam sponge in Weld Purging is widely used. To those people welding stainless steel for garden gates or other decorative applications, satisfactory is something where oxide discolouration […]
