Backing tape prevents weld failure
Backing tape used in the welding of seams or runs help to prevent weld failures and produce flat, slag-free welds requiring no grinding or backgouging.
The waterways of the hollow shaft models are threaded to accept BSP connectors and the plugs are supplied with plain end caps containing a rubber seal.
This allows them to be used to seal all pipes and orifices on any pipe work assembly while the volume is being purged ready for welding.
Plain nozzle connectors for attaching argon hoses are also available as accessories.
Argweld plugs are fully demountable for cleaning and part replacement.
The shaft has an 'O' ring seal and a locking key to ensure that the bottom plate is securely locked and sealed on reassembly to give an absolutely leak tight seal. Request a free brochure from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques ...
