Pipe Purging Accurately Down to 10 ppm
Measuring the oxygen level during Pipe Purging is crucial. Stainless steel has to
be monitored down to at least 100 ppm, however alloys such as titanium and
zirconium may need to be monitored down to as low as 10 ppm.
Pipe Purging Experts Huntingdon Fusion
Techniques HFT®’s PurgEye® 200 Weld Purge
Monitor® will ensure zero colour, non-oxidised
welds are achieved every time, with accurate
readings down to 10 ppm.
The PurgEye® 200 is a portable, hand held monitor,
specifically developed and designed for use when
welding titanium, zirconium, high specification
stainless steel and nickel alloy joints, so that the user
can produce metallurgically sound and oxide-free
welds every time.
Luke Keane, Technical Sales Manager for HFT® said:
“We’ve recently updated our Range of Weld Purge
Monitors and most of which now include PurgeNet™,
a networking device that allows accessories to be
connected. These include an automatic welding
machine interface so that the oxygen level in the
vicinity of the weld can be continuously monitored
and the welding machine can be switched on or
off according to pre-set oxygen levels, an external
audible and visual warning devices and a dew point
monitor.”
The PurgEye® 200 has an OLED (organic light
emitting diode) display, which will give bright,
clear and sharp readings for viewing at distances
and wide angles. These OLED displays are mainly
symbol, rather than text based, making the menus
internationally comprehensible.
This exceptionally advanced instrument is able to
operate from rechargeable batteries or mains power.
Along with loud, pre-settable audio alarms for rising
or falling oxygen levels, the PurgEye® 200 comes
complete with a faster response long life sensor and
integral electro-mechanical pump to extract samples
from a weld purge zone, in the event that there is
insufficient flow rate or positive pressure to activate
the sensor correctly.

The PurgEye® 200 Weld Purge Monitor® reads down
to 1 ppm (very accurate as far down as 10 ppm). It
is IP65 rated, which means it can be used in very
demanding areas where instruments are used on site,
such as in desert or tropical conditions.
PurgeLog™ Software is provided to record Weld
Purging results and provides quality control
documents for each weld.
