The PurgEye® 1000 enables operators to read the weld purge gas level from up to 1 km away from the welding zone.
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 the oxygen level at the welding zone when welding lengths of tube and pipework of 20 metres length and more. The sensing head can be placed up to 1 km away from the monitor so that readings from inside a pipeline or pipe fabrication can be taken directly at the welding zone.
What is the minimum pipe size in which the sensor head can be used?
1” (25 mm) diameter.
What is the sensor head housing made from?
Stainless steel.
Do I need to fix the sensing head to the purging system?
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® can supply fixtures for the head to be mounted to any kind of mechanical or inflatable pipe purging system.
Can Weld Purge Monitors® only be used when purging with argon?
The PurgEye® Weld Purge Monitors® measure the oxygen level within any gas, not only inert gases. They can be used to monitor the oxygen level when using inert gases such as argon and helium and also non-inert gases including nitrogen and nitrogen/ hydrogen mixes
What is PurgeNet™?
PurgeNet™ controls the welding power sources such as orbital welders and any other automatic welding systems to switch on and off according to oxygen levels, transferring data easily with the ability to link to external devices.
What is the PurgEye® 1000's measuring range?
The PurgEye® 1000 measures oxygen levels from 1,000 parts per million (ppm), right down to 1 ppm (accurate to 10 ppm), ideal for welding metals such as stainless steels, duplex steels, titanium and zirconium where oxide free, zero colour welds are required time after time.
