The patented CK Flexible Purge Chamber is used in the Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (GTAW)/Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) process to provide a completely inert
atmosphere for the welding of reactive metals such as titanium, molybdenum,
nickel-based and aluminum-based alloys, as well as non-reactive metals like
stainless steel. Unique to this design is the ability to draw a vacuum around the
product to be welded which collapses the chamber, removing all atmospheric
gases. The chamber is then filled through a perforated hose that covers the
circumference of the chamber. This filling process allows the argon gas to expel
all atmospheric gases more effectively than traditional filling methods. This
significantly reduces the time required to reach a totally inert atmosphere that is
suitable for welding and uses considerably less gas than the traditional rigid purge
chambers.
INTRODUCTION:
DESCRIPTION:
The Flexible Purge Chamber is designed to rest on a support device that is the
same diameter as the chamber's base. When the unit is completely deflated, with
the chamber's walls draped over the sides of the support base, a vacuum is drawn
by either 1.) blowing compressed air through the external vacuum "Y" creating a
venturi capable of expelling the atmospheric air inside the chamber, or 2.)
installing an auxiliary vacuum pump. Once a vacuum is performed the chamber is
then inflated at 35 cubic feet per hour (Excessive fill rates will cause turbulence
resulting in the mixing of the argon shielding gas with the air in the chamber
which extends the time it takes to obtain a completely inert atmosphere). The
purpose is to displace any remaining atmospheric air out the exhaust port on the
top of the chamber using argon which is significantly heavier than air. Parts can
then be welded in a totally inert atmosphere.
To remain competitive in the domestic and international markets, we are allowing
customers to provide their own welding table and other accessories to fit inside
the chamber.
