Argweld® MarkV Sensors are NO longer available.
The Mark5 Weld Purge Monitor® has become so out of date, it is no long viable to manufacture these sensors.
Replace your MarkV with the NEW and greatly improved PurgEye® 100 Weld Purge Monitor®. There are so many new features and benefits on the new and latest model.
Plus, all PurgEye® 100 IP65 Sensors are manufactured in a unique packaging that will increase the sensor life significantly and guarantee longer life from your Monitor.
Spare sensors are packed at source inside a small sealed compartment to prevent oxygen from entering and causing the sensor to start to decay.
This sensor packaging affords an extra degree of protection to the special contacts and the sealing membrane on top.
PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitor® not only have a “low sensor” warning signal, which normal oxygen monitors do not have, but you know that when your replacement sensor arrives that it will last much longer than those for other oxygen monitors.
Once the tiny amount of oxygen inside the sealed volume has been consumed, a partial vacuum has been created just leaving the residual atmospheric nitrogen behind that protects the sensor and leaves it inert until the package is opened for use.
Spare sensors are sold as a single unit or as multiples subject to preference.
The packaging will protect the sensor from scuffs and damage during transit and will keep it clean during storage.
HFT® is constantly considering the needs of the customer. By using our scientific knowledge and background, we are continuously developing, engineering and saving the customer money.
Other sensors in the industry have a low lifetime. They start to deplete immediately after manufacture and there may be several lost months before the sensors are put into use.
Allowing shipping time to the sub contractor who will keep them in stock for some time, then to the reseller who will then send them to the welding distributor after which it will be shipped to the customer who in turn might wait some time before using or inserting the sensor.
The average life of most other sensors for other monitors may be only as little as 10-12 months.
Please contact us or your nearest Distributor for further information.

Read MoreWhere it all began....
Invented in the 1980’s by Vacuum Physics and Company Founder, Ron A Sewell, the Mark I Weld Purge Monitor® instrument was soon adopted by the welding industry as an essential piece of instrumentation for measuring the amount of oxygen in the purge gas.
Measuring range: Atmosphere down to 100 ppm.
As technology moved forward, so did our development of this initial unit, into MarkII, MarkIII, MarkIV and MarkV within the Argweld Family range of Weld Purge Monitors®.
The next millennium brought a completely new design and a new name……
PurgEye® 100 Weld Purge Monitor® was launched and is now the standard insturment of today used my most welding all over the World.
And in 2021 a new IP65 version was created.
Along with unique new packaging for the replacement sensors.
The PurgEye® 100 has become the world’s best-selling Weld Purge Monitor®. Loved by welders who are welding stainless steel and want to achieve bright, shiny, oxide-free welds.
