Product Description:
The Argweld® QuickPurge® System is a premium inflatable weld purging solution for large diameter tubes, pipes, vessels, and cylindrical joints. Designed with twin inflatable dams and advanced purge control, QuickPurge® dramatically reduces inert gas consumption while ensuring oxide-free, zero colour welds in stainless steel, duplex, chrome steels, titanium, and nickel alloys.
With innovative features such as IntaCal®, RootGlo®, and PurgeGate®, QuickPurge® delivers faster purge times, enhanced safety, and guaranteed weld quality. Typical purge time is less than 3 minutes for a 12" pipe joint and 8 minutes for a 36" joint, achieving oxygen levels down to 0.1% (1,000 ppm).
Key Features & Innovations:
-
Twin Inflatable Dams – Isolate purge volume for efficient, rapid weld purging.
-
IntaCal® Technology – Automatic purge gas flow control, no manual valve adjustments.
-
RootGlo® Strip – Highly luminescent centring band glows up to 20 hours for accurate placement.
-
PurgeGate® Safety Device – Prevents dam over-inflation and bursting.
-
Heat Resistant Construction – High-quality, low vapour pressure materials for clean weld environments.
-
Strong & Durable – Each pull strap is Kevlar-stitched with 1,000 lb (480 kg) strength.
-
No Metal Parts Near Weld Zone – Prevents surface scratches and avoids NDT interference.
-
Fast Purge Times – Example: <3 minutes for 12" joint; <8 minutes for 36" joint.
-
Wide Range – Available for pipe sizes 6–88 inches (152–2,235 mm).
-
Gas & Time Savings – Significant reduction in argon consumption with ROI in less than one weld.
