A Huge Size Range and Fast Purging Too...!

Introducing the Argweld® QuickPurge® range of high-speed inflatable Weld Purging Systems for pipework and pipelines, the latest scientific innovation from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®. Designed for fast, efficient, and cost-effective purging, QuickPurge® systems are available in sizes from 6 to 88 inches (152 to 2,235 mm).
Why Choose Argweld® QuickPurge®
Superior Technology and Design

QuickPurge® systems leverage advanced technology to ensure efficient and reliable weld purging, featuring innovative solutions like IntaCal® and PurgeGate® mechanisms.

Cost and Time Efficiency

Significant reductions in purge time and inert gas usage translate into lower operating costs and faster project completion.

Versatility and Durability

Available in various sizes, QuickPurge® systems are suitable for various industries and applications, offering durability and reusability for long-term value.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Elegant Material: The new textured black and grey material is temperature resistant with a lower outgassing rate.
  • IntaCal® Technology: This technology simplifies the purging process with an automatic gas release system, eliminating the need for manual valve adjustments.
  • PurgeGate® Mechanism: Prevents over-inflation and bursting, ensuring the system's longevity.
  • RootGlo® Centre Alignment Band: This luminescent band helps operators accurately position the system within the pipe. It is visible through the root gap for up to 12 hours.
  • Reduced Purge Time: Typical purge times are under 8 minutes for a 36" pipe to reach 0.1% oxygen.
  • Gas Savings: Minimizes the volume of inert gas needed, reducing operating costs.
  • Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials, QuickPurge® systems are designed for repeated use.
  • Heat Resistance: Suitable for high-temperature applications, with heat-resistant versions available for pre-heated pipework.
  • Rapid Payback: The system pays for itself in just a few welds through significant time and gas savings.
  • Reliable Welds: Ensures high-quality, oxide-free welds, preventing costly rework and NDT failures.

Your Questions Answered
QuickPurge® systems dramatically reduce welding times and argon usage. For example, homemade devices can purge a 36" pipe joint in as little as 10 minutes compared to 4-8 hours.
QuickPurge® systems are available in 6 to 88 inches (152 to 2,235 mm).
Yes, QuickPurge® Systems can be manufactured with longer collars for return bends upon request.
Yes, they are designed for multiple uses, providing a cost-effective solution.
Argon and helium are commonly used, but any inert gas or gas mix can be utilised.
They are made from low vapour pressure, flexible, durable, and heat-resistant materials.
QuickPurge® Systems offer significant savings in time and gas, paying for themselves in just a few welds.
Yes, they are resistant to typical welding process heat. For higher temperatures, Argweld® HotPurge® systems are available.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"The purge meters are second to none."

"I am a huge fan of Huntingdon products and have talked to others over the years about using them. The purge meters are second to none. I own and use regularly my PurgEye 100 and my PurgEye 300. I think somewhere, I still have my original Argweld® MKV monitor, which sadly no longer powers up. I am a scarce breed because I have 3 degrees and a complete academic understanding of metallurgy, but more importantly, welding science; I also have over 20 years of hands-on experience in welding on drill floors, firing lines, and vessel shops. I quite literally have a passion for old-fashioned welding! Excellent product, guys!"

"One of the best, if not the best, residual oxygen detector instruments on the market."

"I believe the PurgEye to be one of the best if not the best, residual oxygen detector instruments on the market with its digital residual oxygen level LED display readouts measuring as low as 0.01% and its large, user-friendly viewing screen making it easier for me to read. I also believe the PurgEye has great accuracy in residual oxygen, with speedy measurements displayed within seconds. The PurgEye is a far cry from the old school homemade 'use a cigarette lighter' to check purge gas flow system."

"Purge monitors are a necessity."

"I can personally vouch for purge monitors. When working with medium to large-diameter exotic pipework, they can prevent you from having a terrible day! I've only used the older model, which was a godsend. Anyone, from the welder who has had to carry out weld repairs due to root weld oxidation (or coking) on such materials, to the directors facing an expensive bill for re-work and possible tarnished company reputation, to the client with their project now running behind schedule - knows exactly what I mean. Purge monitors are a necessity."
