New: Unique 10 ppm Colour Touch
Screen Weld Purge Monitor®
It is essential to monitor the oxygen level when welding reactive metals. Metals that are
classed as ‘reactive’ (titanium, zirconium and nickel alloys) are sensitive to oxygen when
heated. When welding these metals, the oxygen must be purged from the welding zone,
down to as low as 10 parts per million (ppm).
Weld Purging in this environment will avoid
discolouration of the weld and heat affected
zone and limit oxidation that could lead to a
loss of metals’ corrosion resistant properties.
It will help to guarantee the greatest weld
joint strengths and the highest resistance to
corrosion.
After 42 years of continuous Weld Purge Monitor
design, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® has
designed and developed yet another new Weld
Purge Monitor® embracing new technological
developments.
The new style PurgEye® 600 reads from atmospheric
level of oxygen (20.94%), down to one part per
million (0.0001%) in one instrument, offering big
advantages to those manufacturing high specification
products made of reactive metals.
Georgia Gascoyne, CEO for Huntingdon Fusion
Techniques HFT® said: “We are delighted to
announce the launch of this new PurgEye® 600 Weld
Purge Monitor®.”
“Possibly the greatest feature of this new oxygen
analyzer, apart from its total measuring range, is our
revolutionary PurgeNet™ facility, where accessories
such as the dew point monitor, visible and audible
alarms, automatic welding machine and other
instruments can be connected and triggered by
falling or rising oxygen levels.”
This state of the art PurgEye® 600 incorporates all
of the features and benefits of all the other Weld
Purge Monitors® in the HFT® Family Range, but
for the first time, this one instrument has a full
