Keeping an Eye on weld purging WHEN welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium and nickel alloy, where a high quality weld is required, weld purge monitors can help obtain non-oxidised, zero-colour welds by monitoring the oxygen content. today, with its digital residual oxygen level, LCD screen readouts measuring as low as 100 ppm and its large, user- friendly viewing screen making it easier for me to read. The PurgEye 100 also has a great accuracy of residual oxygen, with speedy measurements being displayed within seconds.”

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques’ (HFT) PurgEye ® 100 can help to eliminate post-weld cleaning costs. According to the company, a customer recently said, “The PurgEye 100 is one of the best, if not the best residual oxygen detector instruments on the market

The PurgEye 100 is IP65 rated and features leak-tight push buttons, auto- calibration features, vacuum-sealed leak-tight probe assembly, wrist/neck strap and tripod mount. The extra long- life sensor provides approximately 18 months life before it requires changing. A low-sensor indicator will appear on the screen, warning that a new sensor is required. Once that icon appears, it provides the user with adequate time to obtain a new sensor, which can be fitted like changing a battery, and the monitor can be re-calibrated easily by the user. The PurgEye 100 has a clear, easy-to-read LCD screen, with a
