In the case of short welding ends, excessive heat from welding works may cause damage
to the soft seal.
If possible, put a wet towel over the Argus Ball Valve.
Monitor the temperature of the valve body in the seat area by using the temperature-
sensing strips (shown here in blue) during welding.
The maximum permitted temperature is: 100 °C
(position of the temperature-sensing strips)
Continuously monitor the temperature strip during welding.
In case of a reaction (color change), interrupt the welding.
Let the valve body cool down.
