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.
