FAQs
What is Weld Purge Paper?
Weld purge paper is a specialised paper used to create an oxygen-free environment around a weld joint. This prevents oxidation and porosity, ensuring a high-quality weld.
Additional features like shade adjustment, sensitivity control, and delay time settings allow you to customise the mask to your specific welding needs.
What is Weld Backing Tape?
Backing tape is a heat-resistant tape used to protect the back side of a weld joint from spatter and heat damage. It also helps to maintain a consistent weld bead profile.
How do I choose the right purge paper and backing tape?
The choice of purge paper and backing tape depends on factors such as the welding process, material type, and desired weld quality. Consult with one of our experts or refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
How long should I purge a weld?
The purging time depends on the thickness of the material, the welding process, and the desired level of oxygen removal. Typically, purging times range from a few minutes to several hours.
Can I re-use purge paper and backing tape?
While it’s possible to reuse purge paper and backing tape, it’s not recommended. Reusing these materials can compromise their effectiveness and lead to lower-quality welds.
What is the best way to store purge paper and backing tape?
Store purge paper and backing tape in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Can I use regular paper as a substitute for weld purge paper?
No, regular paper is not suitable for welding applications. It will burn and release harmful gases, potentially damaging the weld.
How do I apply backing tape?
Clean the back side of the weld joint and apply the backing tape, ensuring it adheres securely.
What is the difference between different types of purge paper?
Different types of purge paper vary in terms of thickness, heat resistance, and oxygen permeability. Choose the type that best suits your specific welding needs.
Can I use too much purge gas?
Yes, using excessive amounts of purge gas can lead to increased costs and potential safety hazards. It’s important to use the correct amount of purge gas to achieve the desired results.
