PurgEye 100X
WELD PURGE MONITOR

PurgEye 100X the newest, most advanced Weld Purge Monitor™ with new features and capabilities that place this monitor way ahead in the field of weld purge monitoring. The Argweld® product line is the only one to offer a complete “family” of Weld Purge Monitors™ for all applications and to suit every budget. With the addition of the exciting new PurgEye 100X, the industry’s most popular line of purge monitors has raised the bar even higher with the latest in instrumentation and advances in technology.

The innovative Push Button Auto Calibration on the front of the PurgEye 100X allows the user to calibrate at atmospheric level and again at the lowest oxygen reading with just the push of a button and provides increased accuracy.

With tungsten inert gas welding (gas tungsten arc welding) of important joints in stainless steels and other reactive metals, it is essential to know that the oxygen content in the welding volume has been reduced to a satisfactorily low level before commencing the weld. By using a proper Weld Purge Monitor™ the guesswork is eliminated and the welders can do their job with increased confidence and assurance of a good purge. Use the right tool for the job! Monitor includes:

  • Push button “Auto Calibration” feature
  • Low Battery Indicator
  • Low Sensor Indicator
  • Enlarged Screen
  • Tripod Mount
  • Increased Sensor Reading Range
  • Wrist and Neck Carry Strap
  • Protective Rubber Housing
  • Quick Connect/Disconnect Fitting for Gas Purge Tubing
  • Automatic Sleep Mode When Not in Use

Some Advantages and Key Features

  • Auto Calibration Feature
    Calibrate your own monitor at any time without having to return it to the factory. Also, each time you weld to ensure that your readings are the most accurate possible. The calibration facility even has the ability at the touch of a small button to calibrate both at atmospheric level of 20.94% and at 0.01% (100 ppm) level of oxygen.
  • Low Sensor indicator
    You will never again be with an unusable monitor! The “low sensor level signal”, giving plenty of time to obtain a new sensor which you can simply fit and calibrate yourself.
  • Low Battery Indicator
    Another ‘first’ in the design and manufacture of PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitors™ is the low battery indicator that appears in the corner of the screen at the appropriate time.
  • Automatic Sleep Mode
    When the Monitor registers more than 20% oxygen for periods longer than 1 hour, it will automatically switch off to conserve sensor and battery life.
  • Extra Range
    The PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ indicates oxygen levels down to 100 parts per million (PPM) 0.01% and measures accurately down to 0.1%
  • Enlarged Screen
    The new enlarged screen uses 24 mm size digits for easy viewing at longer distances from the work station. These digits are approximately 41% larger than other models.
  • Tripod Mount
    A rugged tripod mount has been integrated into the housing. This allows the PurgEye™ 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ to be firmly mounted on a tripod of your choice.

With mounting the instrument on a tripod, easy visual observation is provided so you can see the PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ from any part of the working space.

A range of tripods or other fixing devices is available on which you can mount and station your PurgEye 100X. A rugged tripod mount has been integrated into the housing, which allows the PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ to be firmly mounted on a tripod of your choice.

Technical Data and Specification

The PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ is shipped in an attractive, robust carry, presentation and storage case to maintain the instrument in good condition and to keep it together with all accessories.

The PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ can be used with any pipe welding system, any weld purging chamber or weld purging enclosure.

The sensor is easy to replace and self calibrate using the advanced calibration features of the PurgeEye™100X and the specially written algorithm that provides extreme accuracy at 0.1% where it is especially important for weld purging.

The PurgEye 100X Weld Purge Monitor can be used as a continuously reading instrument with free flow of the purge exhaust gas across the sensor, or as a sampling instrument with the hand vacuum pump and stainless steel probe assembly extracting samples from the purged volume, as and when desired.

Accessories, Spares and Replacements

  • Gorilla Tripod
  • Camera Tripod
  • Sensor Removal Tool
  • Rubber Protective Housing

With inert gas welding, before commencing, it is essential to know that the oxygen content in the welding volume has been reduced to a satisfactory level. The Purge Monitor is specifically designed to measure oxygen content down to 0.01% with a high degree of accuracy. An oxygen content of 1.0% is normally considered suitable to ensure that there is no oxidation of the weld (there may be some exceptions to this figure, such as with titanium, zirconium and other exotic metals.)

The PurgEye™ 100X Weld Purge Monitor™ can be used as a continuous measuring device throughout the process or as a sampling instrument for spot checks. Visible demonstrations and routine inspections for quality control are made simple. The monitor can be used with any pipe purging system or argon welding enclosure. It is very compact and completely portable.

Small, portable and very simple to use

Once the desired oxygen level is achieved, welding can begin.
