Keeping your 'Eye' on the Purge!
The most advanced hand held Weld Purge Monitor® is here...., developed with real science, the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Sealed Weld Purge Monitor® with innovative push button auto calibration, enlarged screen, sensor indicator, tripod mount, sleep mode, vacuum sealed leak-tight probe assembly, wrist and neck strap, rubber housing protector and so much more.
Once again, manufacturers and innovators, HFT, bring to the market place for the first time, a fully Accredited IP65 Standard Rated Weld Purge Monitor®. The PurgEye® 100 now has a dustproof and waterproof outer case that prevents the ingress of dust or moisture even to the extent of having hard water spray directed against it.
We launched the original PurgEye® 100 almost 2 years ago and this replaced our obsolete Argweld® Mark V (MKV) which used old out of date technology in comparison to this revoluntary PurgEye® 100 IP65 model.
With tungsten inert gas welding (gas tungsten arc welding) of important joints in stainless steels and other reactive metals, before commencing the weld, it is essential to know that the oxygen content in the welding volume has been reduced to a satisfactorily low level. Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitors® will carry out this task for you indicating oxygen levels down to 100 ppm. For full technical information......, use the tabs above.

Some Advantages and Key Features
Acknowledged as the World's standard instrument. The updates to our standard Weld Purge Monitor® place the PurgeEye® 100 IP65 instrument at the forefront of weld purge monitoring technology as a low cost hand held instrument.
Auto Calibration Feature
Calibrate your own Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitor® at any time without having to return it to the factory and each time you weld to ensure that your readings are the most accurate.
The calibration facility even has the ability at the touch of a small button to calibrate both at atmospheric levels of 20.94% and at 0% level of oxygen.
IP65 Dustproof and Waterproof Accredited
Dustproof Standard Rated 6 Dust Tight (no ingress of dust) and Waterproof Standard Rated 5 Protected against water jets (water projected from a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction shall be have no harmful effect.
Vacuum Brazed Stainless Steel Probe Assembly
Leak Tight 'one piece' sealed assembly prevents any leaks.
Low Sensor Indicator
You will never be with an unusable monitor. The low sensor level signal in the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitor™ gives plenty of warning time to obtain a new sensor which you can simply fit yourself.

Enlarged Easy to Read Digital Screen
Easy to read digital screen shows the operator when it is safe to start welding ensuring a perfect welding environment for a clean weld. 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 our previous out of date model, the Mark V (MKV), which is now obsolete.
Tripod Mount
A rugged tripod mount has been integrated into the housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
PurgEye® 100 Weld Purge Monitor® Hand Held
1.0 What is the intended application for the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitor®?
The Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 is intended primarily for measuring oxygen levels when welding stainless steels and other reactive metals to prevent coking, oxidation and discoloration.
2.0 Is the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 good enough for electro-polished stainless steel welding?
Weld Purge Monitors® manufactured and designed by Huntingdon Fusion Techniques have become the World standard for measuring argon purge quality in TIG/GTAW welding of tubes, pipes, tanks and other enclosed structures.
Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitors® show when oxygen has been removed to a level of 100 ppm and that there are no leaks or that there is no outgassing to cause oxygen to remain in the vicinity of a weld.
3.0 Why should I use a Weld Purge Monitor®?
Materials such as stainless steels and reactive alloys will oxidise and discolour when welded in the presence of oxygen.
The Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 will measure oxygen levels as they are reduced by weld purging techniques so that you can begin welding once the risk of oxidation, coking and discolouration has been minimised.
4.0 What sort of sensor is used in the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65?
A newly designed, self calibrating electrochemical sensor is fitted.
5.0 How are even lower oxygen levels measured?
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques manufactures a 'Family' Range of Weld Purge Monitors® that are suitable to measure oxygen to 10 parts per million (ppm).
6.0 My Company needs a Calibration Certificate once a year for all instruments. How do I obtain one?
The new Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 Weld Purge Monitor® has an auto push button self calibrating facility that calibrates the sensor at both atmospheric and minimum oxygen levels.
This feature allows the sensor to be highly accurately calibrated for each reading throughout the life of the sensor.
In the event that Certification is nevertheless required, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques has Calibration Centres around the World.
For the fastest and most economic method to obtain a new Certificate, please contact us or your local distributor.
7.0 I need to detect oxygen level in pipes pre-heated to 300ºC (575ºF). Can I use the Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 under these conditions?
The Argweld® PurgEye® 100 IP65 sensor should not be exposed to gas at a temperature above 50ºC (122ºF).
Please contact us for information about exhaust purge gas cooling methods.
