Weld Purging for Closing Welds
Weld Purging a variety of pipes of different diameters can prove complex and costly, particularly when having to fill whole pipework systems with expensive argon gas. One solution that welders have traditionally devised has been to construct homemade foam or paper dams that are placed either side of ...Effective Pipe Plugging in Heavy-Duty Applications, with Aluminium Plugs
Effective plugging and sealing of pipes in heavy-duty applications is essential, especially in refineries, offshore operations, plumbing operations as well as domestic and industrial water activities where the plug is likely to be immersed in chemicals or exposed to high temperatures. The Pipestopp ...Accessories for Inflatable Weld Purging Systems
It is important when welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium and zirconium that the welding zone is purged of oxygen even as low as 10 parts per million (ppm) before, during and immediately after welding, in order to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero colour weld. Weld Purging Experts Hunti ...Safer and More Efficient Welding with MultiStrike®
Many welders today are still using 2% red-tipped thoriated Tungsten Electrodes, which contain radiotoxic thoria and therefore can be dangerous to health of those exposed to it, especially in the dust format from grinding the tips. To overcome the accumulated hazardous thoria conditions, whilst main ...Inflatable Pipe Purging Systems for Zero Colour Welds
Producing zero colour tube and pipe welds when joining metals such as stainless, duplex and chrome steels, titanium and zirconium can be challenging and at times can prove costly. In many industries today the welding zone has to be purged of oxygen down as low as 100 ppm, or even lower in industries ...Block Pipes Instantly and Effectively with Low Profile Stoppers
There is a large number of pipe plugging and blocking requirements within a variety of industries such as Oil & Gas, Construction, Plumbing, Shipbuilding, Mining, Power etc., for duties such as repair work, leak testing, weld purging and debris stopping. One major concern being the entry of debris i ...Keep an ‘Eye’ on your Critical Welds
Weld Purging is the act of removing oxygen from the vicinity of a weld before, during and after welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium, zirconium and nickel alloys. Without Weld Purging, the weld would be left oxidised and discoloured, which could then lead to loss of corrosion resistance ...Improve Weld Root Profiles with Backing Tape®
During the welding of tanks, chambers and vessels, an uneven root profile can cause product entrapment that may contaminate a process as well as interrupting flow characteristics. Many weld joints require a controlled underbead profile of the first root pass. Where manual welding cannot control the ...Health and safety sectors benefits from disruption-free Pipe Repair with Accu-Freeze™
Public buildings, factories, manufacturing plants, power stations, hotels, sports facilities, stadiums, apartment blocks and all commercial constructions may have pipework systems such as sprinkler systems for example, that are full of water or other fluid that need to be completely drained for the ...Weld Purging of Pipes for the Oil and Gas Industry
Weld Purging tubes and pipes for the Oil and Gas Industry is crucial when joining metals such as stainless, duplex and chrome steels, as well as nickel alloys, titanium and zirconium. However, when welding larger pipe diameters it is not cost effective to completely fill tubes and pipes with expensi ...Weld Purge Monitor® for the Nuclear Industry
With the growth of Nuclear Power activities around the World, there is a large volume of stainless steel pipework that will need to be welded to a high standard, with no oxidation that can lead to loss of corrosion resistance. To meet the higher standards of welding that the Nuclear Industry expe ...Fire Sprinkler Systems – Easy Valve Replacement with Qwik-Freezer™
Replacing valves in fire sprinkler systems can be a challenge, especially when the pipelines have liquids running through them. One option is to completely drain the system to make the repairs, which can prove costly, time consuming and problematical as to where to drain the liquid. Pipe Freezing ...Flexible Welding Enclosure® for Welding Titanium and Nickel Alloy
When welding titanium or nickel alloy parts, it is important that the welding zone is purged of oxygen to a level as low as 10 parts per million (ppm). Flexible Welding Enclosures® are available for a fraction of the cost of a rigid welding chamber, providing a technically viable option to the ver ...
