HFT unveils PurgEye Desk inert gas welding monitor

Prior to inert gas welding (weld purging) of titanium, as used widely in the aerospace industry, the oxygen content must be reduced (purged) to a level as low as 50ppm or less (parts per million) for titanium.

When oxygen levels are too high, the parent materials will suffer from a loss of corrosion resistance and the creation of metallurgical imperfections.

The PurgEye Desk, a new monitor designed and manufactured by weld purging experts Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT, is said to be leading the way in inert gas weld purging technology by reading oxygen levels from 1,000ppm, right down to levels as low as 1ppm (highly accurate to 10ppm), ensuring welders achieve perfect oxide free, zero colour welds time and time again.

This rugged, high frequency proof instrument has automatic fault-finding diagnostics that can detect and report a number of possible faults. It also features an OLED display giving brighter, sharper readings at longer distances.

With a fast response, long-life sensor having little maintenance requirement, this instrument comes complete with an integral pump to deliver the exhausting purge gas to the measuring sensor on a consistent basis to allow precision control of welding systems.

The PurgEye Desk is particularly suitable for use in ultra clean conditions as found in most aerospace applications.
