Forming gas system with convenient carrying case

the base unit can be simply exchanged. There are three different base units (with lengths of 120, 150 and 200mm), and silicone sealing discs with diameters ranging from 25 to 300mm. Weld-Tech has also assembled a compact carrying case kit for easy storage and transport. The sturdy case holds a 200mm base unit, silicon sealing discs ranging from 25 to 165mm, 10m of argon hose and 10m of stainless steel cable. The case is suitable both for transportation and for reliable storage in the workshop, ensuring that no loose parts are misplaced.

WELD-TECH has more than 23 years’ experience in the development and production of flexible tools for pipe welding. The company’s products include the Purge-Flex forming gas system. This double-sealed flushing system can be easily pulled through pipelines, and bends without tendency. The design of the system ensures that at least one sealing disc remains sealed, reducing both the flushing duration and the volume of inert gas required. Typical flush time is under two minutes. At interchanges between pipes of different diameters, the sealing discs on
