Pipelines
Weld purging a variety of pipes of different diameters can prove complex and costly, particularly when whole pipework systems need to be filled with expensive argon gas. One solution traditionally used by welders is to construct homemade foam or paper dams that are placed either side of the weld, constricting the purge volume to make weld purging times shorter.
Homemade... [Read More]
