Many welds of this nature are still welded with archaic or home-made items to try to shield the weld, but most fail to give satisfactory protection resulting in oxidised joints, which can lead to metallurgical failure at worst and the necessity for additional processes such as mechanical or acid removal of the oxide film. The extra processes of cleaning/oxidation removal can be so easily negated by using professionally designed and manufactured products and a Weld Purge Monitor®. One such monitor, which measures oxygen level down to 1 ppm is the PurgEye® 300 Plus, now with PurgeNet™! This lightweight, portable gas analyzer indicates actual oxygen levels down to 1 ppm (accurate to 10 ppm) on a large alpha-numeric OLED display, perfect for achieving oxide-free, zero colour welds time and time again. “The unique highly advanced communicating system, PurgeNet™ allows connection of accessories such as an automatic welding machine interface, a long distance visual alarm system and a dew point monitor”, said Ron Se
