Increasing weld purge monitors’ sensor life IT IS vital during the welding of stain- less steel, titanium and nickel alloy to monitor the oxygen level at the weld root to ensure non-oxidised, zero-colour welds are achieved. 100 weld purge monitor are now delivered in a sealed package, keeping the sensors sealed in an inert environment until they are opened for use, and raising the lifespan of each sensor. time during a weld, to ensure correct readings.” The PurgEye 100 has an easy-to-read LCD screen that includes a low-battery indicator. When the monitor is not in use, an automatic sleep mode activates to conserve battery life.

The lifetime and accuracy of the oxygen sensor within the weld purge monitor is critical to the continuous achievement of such welds. Replacement sensors for Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT) PurgEye ®

The PurgEye 100 weld purge monitor is an IP65-rated oxygen monitor that reads from atmospheric level down to 100 parts per million (ppm), ensuring high quality welds are achieved repeatedly.

The updated PurgEye 100 replaces the previous MKV monitor model, which is still in use by many companies internationally. Unlike the MKV, the PurgEye 100 is designed with leak-tight push buttons, auto-calibration features, vacuum- sealed leak-tight probe assembly, wrist/ neck strap, optional rubber housing protector and tripod mount. HFT offers a weld purge monitor exchange replacement scheme, so that companies can upgrade out-of-date models for the PurgEye 100.

Luke Keane, distributor support for HFT, said, “The PurgEye 100 is designed with a special sensor, which monitors the exact level of oxygen during welding. The monitor has a low sensor warning, so unlike other oxygen analysers, the user knows that their monitor is reading correctly, and exactly when the sensor needs changing. Furthermore, the operators can press the auto-calibration button at any

PurgEye replacement sensors are supplied in a sealed package, to extend the lifespan of the sensor
