Description
The PPM Pipe Purge Bag and Rapid Purge Systems are both available as heat resistant versions.
Designed for use when high temperatures will be encountered during the process of pipe welding; such as pre-heated pipework, and pipes where very high temperatures are required for welding.
These versions of our inflatable Pipe purging systems are heat resistant up to 350ºC (572ºF) for up to 24 hours, or up to 500ºC for short periods of time, as with the standard systems, the heat resistant systems are available for all pipe diameters from 3 to 80″ (75 to 2035mm).
Mirroring the features of the standard range of inflatable purging systems, the heat resistant range comes with a central band for rapid centering of the system to the weld root for the fastest set up times.
The welder can position these systems prior to pre-heating and leave them in place throughout the pre-heating, welding and post-heat treatment cycles, allowing the weld to be purged continuously for up to 24 hours if necessary.

How it works
Both the Heat Resistant PPM Pipe Purge System and the Heat Resistant Rapid Purge™ System work identically to the standard systems, but are made using a purposely designed Nomex and Kevlar mix material to withstand the temperatures typically encountered when welding exotic materials.
