Ceramic Backing Tape is often used to help support weld roots. However, with a melting point of 1,800ºC, concerns grow during TIG welding, where temperatures can reach up to 6,000ºC.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques® (HFT®) has made it possible to have an immediate reading of a weld purge gas from any distance up to 1,000 metres away, with the PurgEye® 1000.The Weld Purge Monitor® has a stainless steel sensing head that can be fitted onto any pipe weld purging system, or can be left in the welding zone and have the oxygen levels transmitted electronically to a monitor up to 1 km away.“If exhaust gas from a normal weld purge system is piped down a hose to a distant measuring instrument, it may take many minutes, or even hours in some cases, to reach the sensor.

Raccortubi do Brasil has been approved by Petrobras as the company’s butt-weld fittings manufacturer. With

ITT Goulds Pumps has added the ICO Open-Impeller i-Frame pump its ISO Series of process pumps. The ICO Open-Impeller i-Fram pump is ideal for handling gases and air, and is fully compliant with both ISO2858 and ISO5199 standards.

SPX Flow, a supplier of specialized engineer solutions from the Plenty brand, has been chosen for two offshore operators because it meets the needs for new floating production storage and offloadings (FPSO).

Xylem Inc., a leading global water technology company, has launched the Flygt 4460, a mid-sized biogas mixer, featuring a duplex stainless steel propeller designed for thick, viscous liquids, while also enduring abrasive and corrosive materials.

Huntingdon Fusion Technique’s^® (HFT) Argweld^® Weld Backing Tape^™ is the solution to the common challenge that welders often face, where high-quality stainless steel, duplex, and chrome steel welds are required, but where the use of purge gas is not always possible.

Huntingdon Fusion Techniques® (HFT) has introduced the PurgEye® 1000, a localised sensor that displays the oxygen level in a welding zone on a Weld Purge Monitor® screen that is up to 1,000 meters away from the weld.

Global engineering group Sandvik announced at formnext 2018, that it is increasing its metal AM capacity by installing several RenAM 500Qquad laser 3D printers by Renishaw.
