Often when welding lengths of tubes and pipework fabrications of 20 metres or more, measuring the purge gas might not always be easy. Under these conditions, there is a risk of contamination of the gas exiting the weld zone, leaving the welders uncertain about their welds and welding procedure.
Weld Purging Experts Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have designed and developed the PurgEye® 1000, a localised sensor with long distance cable that displays the oxygen level in the welding zone on a Weld Purge Monitor® screen that might be 10, 50 or even 1,000 metres away from the weld.
The PurgEye® 1000 comprises a stainless steel housing with a sensing head that can be fitted onto any Pipe Weld Purging System or simply left in the welding zone and have the oxygen levels transmitted electronically to a monitor up to 1km away.
The PurgEye® 1000 measures oxygen levels from 1,000 parts per million (ppm), right down to 1 ppm (accurate to 10 ppm), ideal for welding metals such as stainless steels, duplex steels, titanium and zirconium where oxide free, zero colour welds are required time after time.
