Gas Purging dams isolate weld zones quickly, cutting argon usage by up to 80 % compared with full-volume flooding. Inflatable welding purging systems use dual inflatable bladders linked by flexible tube; once positioned, a short burst inflates both dams and initiates low-flow argon bleeding through diffusers, driving oxygen out via centre vent ports.
Advanced gas purging sets feature integral heat-resistant covers rated to 350 °C for high-alloy P91 root passes, preventing dam failure during multiple hot-wire runs. Single-use purge discs crafted from fire-retardant cellulose pulp burn away harmlessly during first arc strike, eliminating extract complications in small-diameter spools.
Optional welding purging accessories include quick-release gas feed manifolds, back-pressure valves preventing dam collapse when gas stops and digital oxygen meters that alarm above preset thresholds. All kits include sizing charts to help fabricators pick dam diameter relative to pipe ID. Orders above £100 ship free to mainland UK destinations.
