QuickPurge ® solution for weld purging large diameter pipework in smaller spaces

perfect for larger diameter pipes where quality welds are required. All systems are manufactured as standard with a hose for connecting a weld purge monitor to, which can read oxygen levels down to as low as 10ppm depending on the model.

be no loss of corrosion resistance caused by oxidation. It also has an additional gas input line, which means extra purge gas can be introduced for applications such as this, thereby achieving a much faster purge, down to the lowest oxygen levels, which is

HUNTINGDON FUSION TECHNIQUES HFT ® has developed a new system to dramatically reduce the space that needs to be purged. QuickPurge ® Systems is a solution to the fact that it is not cost effective to completely fill pipework with expensive inert gas.

Ron Sewell, chairman for HFT, said: “Welders can often spend up to half a day purging pipes, which will cost a considerable amount in time and gas costs. With the help of QuickPurge, large diameter pipes can be purged down to 100ppm ready for welding in just a short time. The dramatic savings in time and argon pay for the system in just one weld.” HFT’s innovative design of the reusable QuickPurge Systems means that zero colour welds will be achieved and there will
