Purge Plugs for Welding
TechSouth Inc engineers and manufactures our own line of purge plugs, designed for reliable performance at a reasonable price. We also carry purge wands, stainless steel purge caps, oxygen analyzers, and a full range of welding consumables to support your purging needs.
Proper back-purging is essential when welding stainless steel, titanium, and other corrosion-resistant alloys. Without adequate shielding, the weld root oxidizes and loses the corrosion resistance the material was selected for in the first place. Our purge equipment is built for the industries where this matters most: pharmaceutical, semiconductor, food and beverage, dairy, and biotech fabrication.

WHY PURGE?
Excerpt from Practical Welding Today March/April 2000 issue.
Purging for Pipe Welds – On Corrosion-Resistant Metals.
When welding stainless steel, titanium and other corrosion-resistant materials, creating a perfect weld environment is of the utmost importance, because the desired corrosion resistance depends on it. During welding, the heated weld seam is exposed to air and oxidizes if it is not protected. This oxidation must either be prevented or treated later. Successful welding depends in part on a combination of proper purging equipment and techniques, and these are the focus of this article.

Purge Wand
Purge Wand
This tool provides a quick and easy method of aligning (prior to welding:automatic or manual) sanitary ferrules and other types of fittings, eliminating the need to pre tack. It includes provisions for ID purging and is adaptable to wide range of ferrules and fitting types and sizes. The aluminum back plate is sized for 4 inch tube with a 1/8 inch barb for attaching an oxygen analyzer.
