Dew Point Sensor

PurgeNet™ Dew Point Purging Gas Moisture 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. Water can form as moisture on metal surfaces while welding and it is important to be able […]

Replace Foam Dams with a Quality Purging System

Quality Purging: Weld Purging dams are still fabricated on-site by welders to save money. They are often made from unsuitable materials such as foam, wood, paper and even tape. These types of Weld Purging dams can often leak, become displaced and even burst into flames. Rework is then consequently necessary and in some cases welds […]

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 […]

Weld Purging Tube and Pipes

When welding stainless steel, zirconium or titanium tubes and pipes, the oxygen must be purged down to a level where the alloy will not oxidise since this can lead to a loss of corrosion resistance properties. This is usually under 100 ppm for stainless steel and under 50 ppm for titanium. The Pre-Purge Process Displacing […]
