Comprehensive range of weld purge oxygen monitors

from PIPE is the Handy Purge Pro 5, designed to meet the stringent requirements of titanium welding, where even the slightest amount of oxidation is unacceptable. The Handy Purge Pro 5 reads oxygen levels down to 0.0005% (5 parts per million). Something that currently no other handheld oxygen monitor is capable of. Powered by built in rechargeable batteries, the Handy Purge Pro 5 boasts easy to use software and a colour screen. It can be connected to a phone or PC and printer via bluetooth or cable (RS232 interface) to log and store data continuously, if required. When required to measure oxygen down to the lowest levels for the most critical welding applications, PIPE Ltd offers the Pro Purge 1. Capable of measuring oxygen levels down to 0.00005% (0.5 parts per million), it allows the welder to achieve perfect oxide free welds. As with the Handy Purge Pro 5, the Pro Purge 1 is connectable via cable or Bluetooth to enable continuous logging of data. With a 100m Bluetooth range, the Pro Purge 1 can be controlled

TO complement its extensive range of pipe purging systems, Prestige Industrial Pipework Equipment (PIPE) Ltd has a comprehensive range of weld purge oxygen monitors to suit all exotic high purity pipe welding applications. The Handy Purge 100 is the entry level model, an ideal tool for the welder’s toolbox. This unit measures levels of resting oxygen down to as low as 0.01 per cent (100 parts per million), making it suitable for the majority of high purity welding applications. The Handy Purge 100 is a battery powered (9V) unit, and uses a replaceable sensor, guaranteed for 12 months with an average life span of two to three years. The Handy Purge 100 Plus is next in the range. Again, it is a battery powered device, designed to accurately measure oxygen levels down to 100 ppm. The Handy Purge 100 Plus features an integral pump for constant readings with no operator intervention. An internal moisture trap and line filter protect the oxygen sensor from potential contaminants. The flagship handheld purge monitor

remotely via a mobile phone. Combined with the purging system suitable for your application, these monitors will return massive savings of inert gas and purging times, enabling consistently higher quality welds, in quicker time, with less consumable costs.
