These systems are manufactured for 6- to 96-inch pipe diameters (150-2,440 mm) and are equipped with a QuickFit coupling for the purge/inflation hose. The QuickFit coupling is fitted with an O-ring for gas-tight sealing.
This tape is best used for the backing of welds, where purging is required but neither easily achieved nor economically viable. It is a glass-fibre weld-backing system that supports and protects the weld root from oxidation.
The Square Wave TIG 200 welding machine can perform ac TIG welding on aluminum and dc TIG welding on steel, stainless and chrome-moly, when precision and bead appearance are important.
The Weld-Mask auto-darkening welding goggles feature a low-profile design that allows welding operators access into spaces where the use of a traditional welding helmet would be limited.
Preventing electrical shock should be a top priority within a company safety program that also addresses the other hazards associated with electric arc welding.
Hypertherm announced it is reinforcing its commitment to welding schools and training programs by making all 10 hours of its American Welding Society (AWS) SENSE approved curriculum available for free download to instructors. At the same time, the company is launching a new educational grant program.
While workers performing electric arc welding are subject to hazards related to the inhalation of toxic fumes, eye hazards, burns or fires, the most potentially perilous hazard they face is electrical shock, which can result in electrocution and other horrific physiological problems.
