Our pre-formed, self-adhesive Water Soluble Purge Dams enable welders to save time on weld preparation as well as improve project timeliness. Since Water Soluble Purge Dams are pre-formed, there is no need to measure, cut or construct a purge dam. There is no need to buy separate inventories of paper and tape or carry heavy rolls and tools to the job site. The welder simply peels, inserts and p..

Wouldn't it be great to find a cost and time saving alternative to traditional purging systems? Conventional purge dams such as inflatable rubber bladders, rubber gaskets, or cardboard discs must be placed far from the weld zone. Remote placement of the purge dams may require large amounts of inert gas to be introduced to fully purify the weld zone, making the use of the conventional purge dams..

The Aluminum Welding Tape, also known as Purge Gas Retaining Tape, is used to seal the root gap between pipes to trap Argon gas, but in a most innovative way. The welding tape is composed of two aluminum adhesive areas on the outside edges, with an adhesive-free center "zone". The unique design of the aluminum welding tape allows the edges to stick to the area surrounding the root gap on stainl..

The Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape greatly reduces and can even eliminate the need for back purging. The welding tape is composed of two adhesive areas on the outside edges and a center strip of fiberglass resistant up to 1,022°F (550°C) that is capable of withstanding applications between 300 and 600 Amps.   Because the Fiberglass Weld Backing Tape is composed of a flexible fibergla..

The Aluminum Welding Tape can be used to seal root gaps while purging, and seal pipe ends for transporting. It has many other conventional uses in the field such as sealing ducts for heating, air conditioning and refrigeration, and acting as an excellent vapor barrier. The Aluminum Welding Tape is high temperature resistant and conforms to irregular surfaces.   The Aluminum Welding..

Machine and fabrication shops have a tendency to be dirty, dusty and greasy places. Shops are where the work gets done. Welders and pipe-fitters know better than anyone though, that cleanliness is of paramount importance to all welds. As all welders know, weld contamination is a serious concern. Cleaning the pipe before the weld is made is nearly as important as the weld itself. In short, pure ..

The AA97206 programmable handheld digital oxygen monitor is designed to give operators the most precise oxygen level readings possible. Internationally renowned for its highly advanced features and low-cost, this self-calibrating Oxygen Weld Monitor with an internal pump accurately measures down to 0.01% (100 ppm) resolution, making it ideal for purging and other welding applications.  ..

Water Soluble Socket Welding Spacer Rings are the most stable water soluble socket welding spacer rings, with unique tabbed edges to keep the spacers stable for effective joint socket alignment. The specially engineered, patented design of Water Soluble Socket Welding Spacer Rings offers an economical, inventive solution to socket welding needs. Compatible with any metal, Water Soluble Socket W..

The Water Soluble Soap Stick Tube is an EPA-approved, hollow, spiral wound type of water soluble packaging used to encase a variety of substances including powders, salts, sands, candle wax, detergents and surfactants. One of the most common applications of the Water Soluble Soap Stick Tube is encasing surfactants to release gas from inside wells.   Water accumulates in natural gas..

The Water Soluble Purge Film is a completely biodegradable, water soluble purge film that can be used as a purge gas barrier during TIG welding and is a highly effective alternative when total purging is impractical or too costly. Flexible and robust, the Water Soluble Purge Film can be used on stainless, duplex, and chromium steels as well as titanium alloys.   Available in 1 x 20..

Water Soluble Alignment Sticks are the most advanced method for maintaining precise gaps on pipes, plates and flanges as required by AWS codes D1.1 thru D1.6, and API 1101 pipe codes. Made from EPA approved Water Soluble Board, Water Soluble Alignment Sticks are uniform in size and thickness. This guarantees a perfect alignment every time, greatly enhancing a welder’s efficiency, while saving t..

The revolutionary, Modular Inflatable Bladder System is the most innovative and versatile pipe purging system available. The Modular Inflatable Bladder System creates an impermeable seal to consume the least amount of purge gas during pipe purging and welding, saving time and money, while achieving consistent, high-quality welds.   Manufactured in the USA, this long-term, reusable ..

The Water Soluble Adhesive is utilized in conjunction with the Water Soluble Purge Film, model AA97209, which can be used as a purge gas barrier during TIG welding. The Water Soluble Adhesive is applied to inside of pipe. The welder thoroughly coats the entire circumference of the pipe surface where film is to be placed. He then presses glossy surface of the Water Soluble Purge Film against tac..
