Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Argweld Weld Purging Plugs Kit for Orbital Welding PSOC001

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Argweld Weld Purging Plugs Kit for Orbital Welding PSOC001

Choose Argweld Weld Purge Plugs for efficient welding of alloys and stainless steel tubes and pipes. When you need to fill complex pipework systems with inert gas, our low vapour pressure Argweld Purge Plugs seal all holes and orifices, ensuring high-quality internal purging. They are especially useful for small or irregular diameter pipes where purge systems or dam systems may not be practical. Made from durable engineering nylon, these plugs, up to 152 mm (6") diameter, won't seize up, rust, or corrode. The inclusion of a friction-reducing acetal copolymer thrust washer makes expansion and release easy, while the standard seals (made from natural rubber) provide effective sealing during welding. Additionally, the plugs can be easily dismantled for cleaning purposes. Applications: - Short, complicated, variable size assemblies where purging systems or dams would be too long or do not match the diameters being worked on. - The expanding rubber seal allows the plugs to be used for weld purging oval and out of round tubes as well as in elbows, tees and other fittings. - These plugs are also ideal for creating an air-tight seal for leak testing operations. FAQs 1. What type of material are the plugs manufactured from? The Weld Purge Plugs are made from engineering quality nylon 6. 2. What is the size range? The Plugs are manufactured in a range of sizes from 0.5 (13 mm) up to 6 (152 mm). 3. What is the seal made from? Manufactured with a standard seal made from natural rubber and for special applications seals made of silicone, nitrile and viton rubbers are available. 4. What other applications can the plugs be used for? These low cost, lightweight plugs service a wide variety of industrial applications. As overnight stoppers they provide a strong barrier in pipeline activities, to prevent foreign bodies entering the line during downtime. Other applications include leak testing of pipework systems, whether commercial, domestic or industrial and sealing holes in castings, tanks and other assemblies. 5. What pressure can the plugs withstand? A pressure chart is available on the leaflet, which details the pressure each plug can withstand. 6. What is the maximum working temperature for the Nylon Plugs? Nylon plugs can be used intermittently up to 120?C (248?F) and the natural rubber rings up to 100?C (212?F). In continuous use, the nylon should be restricted to 100?C (212?F) and the rubber ring to 80?C (176?F). For higher temperatures, we manufacture plugs made from steel or aluminium with the rings made from silicone which can be used continuously up to temperatures of 200?C (392?F) and intermittently up to 300?C (572?F). 7. I have a hole to seal, where your plug wont quite seal well enough, but the next size up is too big. Do you have any in between sizes? The user can extend the range of each plug by a few millimetres by using an exterior rubber seal on top of the ring provided. Each case varies and a solution to suit each circumstance is possible. We have, for example, cut a small section out of a 1 ring to wrap tightly around an 0.75 plug ring and used super glue to join the ends. 8. Can the plugs be used as a permanent stopper in pipes? Depending on the pressure and the internal surface of the pipes, our plugs can be used effectively as a permanent stopper. The wings can be cropped to prevent tampering. The inside of the pipe should be clean and free from debris at the sealing point. 9. I want to use the plugs in an application where natural rubber is not suitable. Can I have the rings made from other materials? Yes, we manufacture and stock the sealing rings in silicone, nitrile and viton. We can have the rings made in other materials as well, subject to minimum volumes and delivery requirements. 10. When should I use the Nitrile rubber rings which you have available as accessories? Nitrile rubber is resistant to many oils and has better resistance to corrosion, weathering and ozone. If you find out that your standard natural rubber ring deteriorates too quickly, you can consider purchasing the nitrile rubber rings as accessories. Nitrile is resistant to many hydraulic oils. A chemical resistance chart for nitrile is available. 11. When should I use the Silicone rubber rings which you have available as accessories? Silicone rubber may be used continuously up to temperatures of 200?C (392?F) and intermittently up to temperatures of 300?C (572?F). Silicone also has excellent resistance to weathering, corrosion and ozone. Silicone is particularly resistant to skydrol aviation hydraulic fluid. 12. When should I use the Viton rubber rings that you have available as accessories? Viton rubber may be used continuously up to temperatures of 220?C (428?F). They have excellent resistance to ozone, oxygen, mineral oil, synthetic hydraulic fluids, aromatics and many organic solvents and chemicals. 13. Will the Nylon Plugs withstand attacks from various acids, alkalis and chemicals? A full technical data

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Argweld Water Soluble Weld Purge Film Kit APF0001

The Argweld Weld Purge Film and Argweld Super Weld Purge Adhesive combine to create dams that form an impenetrable barrier during welding purging, ensuring optimal conditions. However, these dams can be effortlessly removed either during hydrostatic pipe testing or through regular washing, allowing for easy cleanup and maintenance. Avoid the drawbacks of paper-based weld purging products and purge paper cones that leave behind unwanted paper fibers, detrimental to clean weld purging. Instead, opt for the superior alternative: Weld Purge Film. Unlike paper and sponge products, this film does not contain water, ensuring the dissolvable purge dam it creates leaves no harmful fibers behind, thus safeguarding the weld integrity. This water-soluble weld purge film is also biodegradable, making it environmentally friendly, and it proves highly effective as a purge gas barrier during TIG welding when using a tandem pipe purging bladder is impractical. By utilizing Argweld Water Soluble Weld Purge Film in conjunction with Argweld Super Weld Purge Adhesive, manufacturing pipe purging dams becomes a hassle-free and cost-effective solution.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF4100-WOC

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF4100-WOC

The HFT Qwik-Freezer Pipe Freezing Equipment employs liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) to rapidly freeze specific sections of pipe or tubing, creating a reliable ice plug with extremely low temperatures similar to dry ice. This ice plug effectively isolates the water within the system, enabling hassle-free repairs or alterations to be carried out without the need for system drainage or shutdown. FAQs 1. How do I know how much liquid CO2 I need? Be sure there is more than enough liquid CO2 on hand for the job (refer to the freezing table in the user instructions for the amount needed to complete the initial freeze only). If you intend to hold a freeze, extra cylinders will be needed. Use only cylinders fitted with a siphon tube or dip tube. 2. What condition does the pipe and water inside have to be in? Ensure there is no flow of water through the pipe, as flowing water will not freeze. The outside surface of the pipe must be clean of all foreign matter. Water should be at 20C (68F) or colder. Warm water will take much longer to freeze. Always freeze on a horizontal line whenever possible. If attempting a vertical freeze, the water must be colder than 20C (68F). Additional injections and waiting time will also be necessary. A vertical pipe may take up to twice as long as a horizontal line and the CO2 consumption will be double. Do not attempt to freeze close to a main line that has flowing water as the turbulence can prevent formation of the ice plug. 3. Can I freeze pipes larger than 8 or with different material inside the pipe? Qwik-Freezer equipment should not be used on pipes larger than the specified size or pipes containing anything but water. For other sizes and applications, contact us. 4. Will I need ventilation whilst freezing? CO2 is heavier than air and will collect in confined and low-lying work areas. To prevent the danger of asphyxiation, make sure there is always good ventilation. Ventilation fans must be used in confined and low-lying spaces. 5. Do I need to wear safety clothing? Gloves and safety glasses should be worn at all times when operating Qwik-Freezer equipment. Do not hold dry ice as frostbite could result. 6. Can I freeze on a weld? It is not ideal to freeze on a weld unless the weld has been x-rayed. 7. What kind of pipes can Qwik-Freezer be used on? Qwik-Freezer can be used on iron, lead, steel, and copper pipes. It is also applicable to plastic pipes, but these will take up to three times longer. 8. How much water pressure will an ice plug hold? Ice plugs have passed pressure tests up to 5000 psi. HFT conservatively rates them to 1500 psi. 9. What about bursting or fracturing pipes? Pipe fractures are not caused by the ice plug or the freezing process. They are caused by a failure to allow enough space between the ice plug and closed connections. This is due to the increase in pressure that is caused by water that is displaced by the ice plug as it grows that can create a hydraulic ram if enough space is not allowed. 10. Why is it imperative to have CO2 cylinders with siphon-tubes? Dry ice is formed when liquid CO2 interacts with the atmosphere (which takes place inside the Qwik-Freezer jacket). If a cylinder does not have a siphon-tube it will only deliver CO2 gas, which will have no reaction. Without dry ice, there will be no freeze. 11. What if there is a small amount of glycol or other fluid in the line? It is important to know how much is in the mix and what the freeze point of the liquid is. Note: the freeze point may just be a slush and not to the solid state that is required for a plug. The Qwik-Freezer will go down to -121F.

Be sure there is more than enough liquid CO2 on hand for the job (refer to the freezing table in the user instructions for the amount needed to complete the initial freeze only). If you intend to hold a freeze, extra cylinders will be needed. Use only cylinders fitted with a siphon tube or dip tube. 2. What condition does the pipe and water inside have to be in? Ensure there is no flow of water through the pipe, as flowing water will not freeze. The outside surface of the pipe must be clean of all foreign matter. Water should be at 20C (68F) or colder. Warm water will take much longer to freeze. Always freeze on a horizontal line whenever possible. If attempting a vertical freeze, the water must be colder than 20C (68F). Additional injections and waiting time will also be necessary. A vertical pipe may take up to twice as long as a horizontal line and the CO2 consumption will be double. Do not attempt to freeze close to a main line that has flowing water as the turbulence can prevent formation of the ice plug. 3. Can I freeze pipes larger than 8 or with different material inside the pipe? Qwik-Freezer equipment should not be used on pipes larger than the specified size or pipes containing anything but water. For other sizes and applications, contact us. 4. Will I need ventilation whilst freezing? CO2 is heavier than air and will collect in confined and low-lying work areas. To prevent the danger of asphyxiation, make sure there is always good ventilation. Ventilation fans must be used in confined and low-lying spaces. 5. Do I need to wear safety clothing? Gloves and safety glasses should be worn at all times when operating Qwik-Freezer equipment. Do not hold dry ice as frostbite could result. 6. Can I freeze on a weld? It is not ideal to freeze on a weld unless the weld has been x-rayed. 7. What kind of pipes can Qwik-Freezer be used on? Qwik-Freezer can be used on iron, lead, steel, and copper pipes. It is also applicable to plastic pipes, but these will take up to three times longer. 8. How much water pressure will an ice plug hold? Ice plugs have passed pressure tests up to 5000 psi. HFT conservatively rates them to 1500 psi. 9. What about bursting or fracturing pipes? Pipe fractures are not caused by the ice plug or the freezing process. They are caused by a failure to allow enough space between the ice plug and closed connections. This is due to the increase in pressure that is caused by water that is displaced by the ice plug as it grows that can create a hydraulic ram if enough space is not allowed. 10. Why is it imperative to have CO2 cylinders with siphon-tubes? Dry ice is formed when liquid CO2 interacts with the atmosphere (which takes place inside the Qwik-Freezer jacket). If a cylinder does not have a siphon-tube it will only deliver CO2 gas, which will have no reaction. Without dry ice, there will be no freeze. 11. What if there is a small amount of glycol or other fluid in the line? It is important to know how much is in the mix and what the freeze point of the liquid is. Note: the freeze point may just be a slush and not to the solid state that is required for a plug. The Qwik-Freezer will go down to -121F.

If a cylinder does not have a siphon-tube it will only deliver CO2 gas, which will have no reaction. Without dry ice, there will be no freeze. 11. What if there is a small amount of glycol or other fluid in the line? It is important to know how much is in the mix and what the freeze point of the liquid is. Note: the freeze point may just be a slush and not to the solid state that is required for a plug. The Qwik-Freezer will go down to -121F.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF1700-WOC

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF1700-WOC

The HFT Qwik-Freezer Pipe Freezing Equipment employs liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) to rapidly freeze specific sections of pipe or tubing, creating a reliable ice plug with extremely low temperatures similar to dry ice. This ice plug effectively isolates the water within the system, enabling hassle-free repairs or alterations to be carried out without the need for system drainage or shutdown. FAQs 1. How do I know how much liquid CO2 I need? Be sure there is more than enough liquid CO2 on hand for the job (refer to the freezing table in the user instructions for the amount needed to complete the initial freeze only). If you intend to hold a freeze, extra cylinders will be needed. Use only cylinders fitted with a siphon tube or dip tube. 2. What condition does the pipe and water inside have to be in? Ensure there is no flow of water through the pipe, as flowing water will not freeze. The outside surface of the pipe must be clean of all foreign matter. Water should be at 20C (68F) or colder. Warm water will take much longer to freeze. Always freeze on a horizontal line whenever possible. If attempting a vertical freeze, the water must be colder than 20C (68F). Additional injections and waiting time will also be necessary. A vertical pipe may take up to twice as long as a horizontal line and the CO2 consumption will be double. Do not attempt to freeze close to a main line that has flowing water as the turbulence can prevent formation of the ice plug. 3. Can I freeze pipes larger than 8 or with different material inside the pipe? Qwik-Freezer equipment should not be used on pipes larger than the specified size or pipes containing anything but water. For other sizes and applications, contact us. 4. Will I need ventilation whilst freezing? CO2 is heavier than air and will collect in confined and low-lying work areas. To prevent the danger of asphyxiation, make sure there is always good ventilation. Ventilation fans must be used in confined and low-lying spaces. 5. Do I need to wear safety clothing? Gloves and safety glasses should be worn at all times when operating Qwik-Freezer equipment. Do not hold dry ice as frostbite could result. 6. Can I freeze on a weld? It is not ideal to freeze on a weld unless the weld has been x-rayed. 7. What kind of pipes can Qwik-Freezer be used on? Qwik-Freezer can be used on iron, lead, steel, and copper pipes. It is also applicable to plastic pipes, but these will take up to three times longer. 8. How much water pressure will an ice plug hold? Ice plugs have passed pressure tests up to 5000 psi. HFT conservatively rates them to 1500 psi. 9. What about bursting or fracturing pipes? Pipe fractures are not caused by the ice plug or the freezing process. They are caused by a failure to allow enough space between the ice plug and closed connections. This is due to the increase in pressure that is caused by water that is displaced by the ice plug as it grows that can create a hydraulic ram if enough space is not allowed. 10.
