Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Flexible Welding Enclosures/Bays - 1524mm

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Flexible Welding Enclosures/Bays - 1524mm

Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures offer rapid purging times, reaching oxygen levels as low as a few parts per million (ppm) These affordable welding chambers are particularly well-suited for welding titanium, zirconium, and other reactive metals, as well as for WAAM Additive Manufacturing. They are ideal for small production quantities requiring complete gas coverage, providing a cost-effective alternative to rigid chamber boxes. The enclosures are available in various sizes, including standard sizes for immediate delivery. Designed and manufactured by HFT, Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures are a practical choice when a rigid chamber is not economically viable, space is limited, or ease of welding is a priority. They are suitable for joining titanium alloy parts, reactive metal components, and even for welding titanium parts on bicycles, motorbikes, sports gear, and small batches of small parts. Additionally, the enclosures are compatible with Wire plus Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) , enabling the production of ready-made components by welding thin layers of powder or liquid metal drops together, eliminating the need for extensive machining and material waste. Benefits Rapid purging time down to a few parts per million (ppm) of oxygen Ultra low cost compared to rigid chamber boxes Ideal for welding titanium, zirconium, and other reactive metals Suitable for Wire plus Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Available in various sizes, including standard sizes for immediate delivery Economically viable alternative when a rigid chamber is not practical Space-saving solution for applications where space is limited Easy to use for welding purposes Suitable for joining titanium alloy parts, reactive metal components, and small batches of small parts Eliminates the need for extensive machining and material waste in WAAM Additional Options: Extra pairs of glove ports Special lock for the purging port to maintain purge argon in the chamber Other sizes and shapes are available as non-standard items on special request FAQs Do these plastic Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures really work and are they good enough for welding titanium? Yes, there are hundreds in successful use all over the world. A customer list is available. One of the big users is Rolls-Royce who have been using them for many years. They and some other customers have purchased multiples. What about all the sparks, don't they melt the plastic? It is not usual for TIG welding to produce sparks. Won't the hot metal melt the plastic? Yes, it would if the hot metal touches the plastic. One of the reasons for putting the weldment in an enclosure is to prevent the oxygen contacting the weld when hot, so the part must not be removed from the enclosure until it is cold. When a hot part has to be moved to weld another component, there will be a metal skirt be placed around the periphery of the baseplate inside the enclosure. Can Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT supply the internal baseplate and purge lines? Our concept is to ship the Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures internationally for the user to manufacture their own metalwork to suit. Most people welding titanium or other reactive metals have their own manufacturing capabilities and it is more appropriate for them to fabricate the components according to the comprehensive instructions provided. Is it possible to use a vacuum pump to evacuate the enclosure quickly to purge it faster? Because Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures can be collapsed around the parts to be welded, purge volume is so small that the purging time is minimised. What is the largest component I can put into the Enclosures? The standard zip lengths are: 900 mm diameter Round Enclosure 1430 mm long 1200 mm diameter Round Enclosure 1900 mm long 1500 mm diameter Round Enclosure 2390 mm long 1800 mm diameter Round Enclosure 2900 mm long This means only parts which can go through these openings can be put into the standard Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosure. There are however longer zips available and different designs. Please contact us if you require a bespoke enclosure. Why does the enclosure deflate when I turn the gas off? All purging applications require a continual flow of inert gas until the welding and requirement for purging is complete. The Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures are recommended to be purged with a flow rate between 2 to 5 litres per minute. Continuous purging will remove traces of oxygen and hydrogen generated during welding. Should gas be escaping from the valve? The black exhaust valve on top of the enclosure is designed to vent gases from inside the Argweld Flexible Welding Enclosures. Gas will escape through the valve as the enclosure inflates and when operators put arms inside sleeves. The valve can exhaust flow rates of 1 to 10 LPM. There are two membranes inside the valve. One can be removed by the operator if desired. Our intention is that the valve

TheArgweld PurgEye 300 NanoWeld Purge Monitor uses a solid state long life sensor of a unique design. It is very much lower in cost than other sensorsthat have to be used for 10 ppm measurements. What is the intended application for the Argweld PurgEye 300 Nano Weld Purge Monitor? TheArgweld PurgEye 300NanoWeld Purge Monitoris intended primarily for welding high quality joints made in titanium, duplex and other high spec stainless steels to prevent coking, oxidation and discolouration. Where the inlet for the monitor sensor can be connected to a constant flow of exhausting weld purge gas. When job specification demands accuracy in measuring oxygen levels in weld purge gas from 1000 ppm down to 10 ppm. Why isn't the Argweld PurgEye 300 Nano Weld Purge Monitor fitted with a pump? Most welding applications have an adequate flow of weld purge gas that can be exhausted over the measuring sensor. In the event that an adequate flow rate from the system being purged is not available, HFT also manufactures a Weld Purge Monitor with a pump, called the ArgweldPurgEye 500. What is the length of the purging hoses supplied with the Argweld PurgEye 300 Nano Weld Purge Monitor? The red tube is 40 cm long and the green tube is 1 metre long. Is the Argweld PurgEye 300 Nano Weld Purge Monitor sensitive to electrical disturbances? Each instrument has shielding to prevent most forms of interference. Quality Control Test and Inspection criteria are designed to account for as many variables as possible. It is extremely rare that electrical interference will affect the monitor. My Company needs a Calibration Certificate once a year for all instruments. How do I obtain one? In the event that certification is nevertheless required, HFT has calibration centres around the world. I need to detect oxygen level in pipes pre-heated to 300C (575F) Can I use the Argweld PurgEye 300 Nano for this range? The Argweld PurgEye Weld Purge Monitors should not be exposed to gas at a temperature above 50C (122F) . Can Weld Purge Monitors only be used when purging with argon? The PurgEye Weld Purge Monitors measure the oxygen level within any gas, not only inert gases. They can be used to monitor the oxygen level when using inert gases such as helium and also non-inert gases including nitrogen and nitrogen/hydrogen mixes.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF3200-WOC

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques Qwik-Freezer Portable Pipe Freezing Equipment Kit - QF3200-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, which 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 - QF4250-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.
