Inflatable pipe plug for welding purge applications Huntingdon Fusion Techniques
50 - 300 mm (2" - 12")

The Multi-Exhaust Inflatable Pipe Purge Systems have a number of distinct advantages leading to big cost savings:

Use Less Inert Gas
The volume to be purged is localized. For a typical pipe run, the volume of gas used is less than 2% of that required for a conventional purge.

Faster
The system is quick + easy to install. It can be positioned accurately and the dams inflate instantly. Purging time is a fraction of that required to purge by conventional methods.

Easy to Use
'Inflatable Pipe Purge Systems' simplify the process of inert gas purging, Training is Minimal.

Improved Quality of Welds
Leading to bright, shiny, coke and oxide-free welds very quickly. The process involved is highly reliable. It gives regular, controlled high quality results.

Fast Pay Back
The Argweld pipe Purging System pays for itself in just a few welds.

Highest Standards
We manufacture to Nuclear Quality with Nuclear approved materials.
High quality circumferential butt welding of pipe to pipe and pipe to fitting requires inert gas to be used inside the bore to prevent oxidation and notching of the root penetration weld bead.
The best system devised for this is the Inflatable Pipe Purge System.
It is quick, reliable and easy to use, the volume of purging required is kept small, resulting in significant savings in both time and the volume of inert gas used.
