For industries such as oil and gas, nuclear, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical, it is vital to ensure that stainless steel tubes and pipes are welded without oxidation, which leads to loss of corrosion resistance. In order to achieve a zero-colour weld, the oxygen level must be purged down to lower than 100ppm before and during welding. The Pipestoppers ® division at Huntingdon Fusion Techniques (HFT) manufactures a range of white Nylon Weld Purge Plugs™ that are clean and suitable for weld purging of tubes and pipes up to 6" diameter. The plugs are made from engineering quality nylon 6 in a range of sizes from 12 to 150mm (0.5" to 6"). They are manufactured with a standard seal made from natural rubber, and for special applications seals made of silicone, nitrile and Viton rubbers are available. The lightweight plugs serve a wide variety of industrial applications. As ‘overnight stoppers’ they provide a strong barrier in pipeline activities, to prevent foreign bodies entering the line during downtime. Other applications include leak testing of pipework systems, whether commercial, domestic or industrial, and sealing holes in castings, tanks and other assemblies. The nylon plugs are available individually or in kits to suit domestic plumbers, automotive radiator repair shops and pool and spa maintenance teams, all of which are available for immediate delivery. The plugs can be supplied with a hollow shaft with an outside ½" BSP thread for screwing on a standard hose connection, or solid-shaft versions up to 1.5" diameter for pressure testing.
