Explore the Argweld® family of inflatable tube, pipe, and pipeline weld purging systems designed to deliver efficient, cost-effective, high-quality welds. Our range includes innovative purging systems, purge bladders, and purge dams to meet various industries' diverse needs of welders.
The Argweld® PurgElite® systems, suitable for stainless steel tubes with polished internal surfaces, cover sizes from 1 to 24 inches (25 to 610 mm). Introduced in 1975, these systems utilise advanced purge bladder technology to minimise purge volume, saving time and gas. The new 1-inch (25 mm) system is perfect for small-diameter tubes and pipes, ensuring high-quality welds.
The Argweld® QuickPurge® systems are designed to rapidly purge pipes and pipelines ranging from 6 to 88 inches (152 to 2235 mm). Featuring the IntaCal® gas release system, these systems ensure optimal gas flow and minimal inert gas usage, making them ideal for welding stainless steel, titanium, or alloy piping.
The Argweld® HotPurge® systems are developed for pre-heated pipework, allowing pre-heating and welding with the purge system in place. Utilising IntaCal® technology for gas release, RootGlo® for precise positioning, and PurgeGate® to prevent bursting, these systems cover sizes from 6 to 88 inches (152 to 2235 mm).
Argweld® Inflatable Weld Purge Dams offer a low-cost alternative to handmade dams. Suitable for diameters from 6 to 88 inches (152 to 2235 mm), these dams are made from advanced materials with low outgassing rates, ideal for maintaining high-quality welds in various applications.
PurgeGate® one-way valves provide easy push-fit connections for all inflatable pipe weld purging systems, preventing overinflation and ensuring consistent weld quality. These valves are standard in QuickPurge® and HotPurge® systems and available as an accessory for PurgElite® systems.
Available in various lengths (5m to 30m), Argweld® Argon Gas Feed Hose Assemblies come with end fittings, including argon regulator and quick-connect options. These high-standard assemblies ensure efficient gas delivery for weld purging systems.
Argweld® Heat and Chemical Resistant Covers are designed for inflatable tube and pipe weld purging systems, protecting against heat, oils, hydrocarbons, and chemicals. These covers are available for the PurgElite® systems, ensuring durability and safety in challenging environments.
