Introducing the Aquasol I-Purge Modular Inflatable Bladder System, the revolutionary solution for achieving high-quality welds while minimising purge gas consumption and saving you time and money. This innovative system utilises a series of inflatable bladders to create an airtight seal within pipes, effectively isolating the welding zone from oxygen and other contaminants.
Features
- Modular design allows for easy customisation to fit pipes of various sizes and configurations
- Durable, high-temperature construction withstands the rigors of industrial welding applications
- Inflatable bladders ensure a tight seal, minimising purge gas consumption and maximising weld quality
- Lightweight and portable design facilitates easy transport and setup
- Reusable construction offers long-lasting value and reduces environmental impact
Application
- Purging pipes and vessels prior to welding
- Isolating valves and tanks for maintenance and inspection
- Sealing pipe systems for cleaning and testing
- Protecting pipes from corrosion and contamination
Instructions
- Ensure I-Purge is fully assembled (i.e modules are securely connected to harness using quick connect fittings).
- If necessary, connect rope, chain, or wire to the pull loops on the ends of the bladder modules. This will allow easy insertion and removal of the system.
- Connect inert gas lines to the BLUE and BLACK hoses. BLUE gas hose is required to inflate the purge bladders. BLACK gas hose is optional to expedite the purging process.
- Position the purge unit in the pipe using the luminescent indicator as a guide to center the system across the root gap.
- Turn the gas supply on to inflate the bladders and purge the weld zone. Recommended Flow Rates for Purging: BLUE gas hose should transfer inert gas at 10-32 SCFH (5-15 LPM) for models 2″ – 34″ and 60 SCFH (28.5 LPM) for models 36″– 48″
- Once a tight seal has been achieved, commence welding while maintaining flow rate. Recommended Flow Rates During Welding: BLUE gas hose should transfer inert gas at 15-30 SCFH (7.5-15 LPM)
- After the weld is complete, turn off the gas supply to deflate the bladders. Once the heat zone has sufficiently cooled, remove I-Purge from the pipe. Be sure to disconnect all gas lines and monitoring equipment.
- Clean I-Purge and store in the provided carrying bag when it is not in use.
