The Argweld® Weld Purge Monitor, was the first true welding purge monitor, developed in the 1970’s and the new MKV version recently launched, remains the only one available, that is designed and produced especially for welding.

This handy, low cost Weld Monitor pays for itself in less than one weld, taking into account the savings on gas consumption, waiting time and cut-outs due to weld rejects.

An Argweld® Weld Purge Monitor will provide welders and quality control personnel with accurate information about the Oxygen content in the vicinity of their weld joints.

This allows optimisation of welding conditions, reduces waiting time and avoids weld reject.

Each monitor comes supplied in a robust carry case, with a stainless steel sampling probe, 2m length of rubber hose, a vacuum sampling hand pump and a carrying strap.

This Argweld® instrument can be used to continuously monitor the oxygen level, even when welding is taking place, by attaching the exhaust tube from the purge system directly to the monitor.

In addition, the metal sampling probe with the hand pump provided, can be used to check the purge gas quality at frequent intervals.

This instrument can also be used when welding titanium, duplex steels and stainless steel and can be used in conjunction with HFT’s range of Argweld® Inflatable pipe Purging Systems.

It also is supplied calibrated with an Industry Standards recognised certificate.
