and comes with leak-tight push buttons, auto calibration fea- tures, vacuum-sealed leak-tight probe assembly, wrist/neck strap and tripod mount long life sensor.
The extra long life sensor pro- vides approximately 18 months life before it requires changing. A low sensor indicator will appear on the screen, warning that a new sensor is required. Once that icon appears, it provides the user with adequate time to obtain a new sensor, which can be tted like changing a battery and the monitor can be re-calibrated easily by the user.
With a clear, easy to read LCD screen, the PurgEye® 100 boasts a 24 mm high display with features such as a low battery icon as well as the low sensor icon. When the monitor is not in use, an auto- matic sleep mode activates to conserve battery life.
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques
The Weld Purge Monitor® was invented by HFT® in the 1970’s and with over 40 years of inno- vation, design and manufacturing experience, the company now has a Family of PurgEye® Weld Purge Monitors® to measure oxygen levels from atmospheric content (20.94%) down to 1 ppm (accu- rate to 10 ppm).
Ron Sewell, Chairman for HFT® said: “All of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT®’s Weld Purge Monitors® and In atable Tube, Pipe and Pipeline Weld Purging Systems are manufactured in the UK. We do not sacri ce on quality. We guarantee to help you achieve zero colour welds, time and time again.”
It is important not to use low cost oxygen analyzers or other oxygen safety monitors as they are cali- brated for accuracy at ambient conditions and therefore not suit-

Steel Plugs for Heavy-Duty Pipe Blocking
and Stopping
Heavy-duty pipe blocking and stop- ping may require long immersion in chemicals or exposure to high temperatures, which many plugs are not capable of withstanding.
The Pipestoppers® Division man- ufacture a range of Steel Plugs, which are ideal for more arduous duties and also available as double versions for even tougher applica- tions.
Luke Keane for HFT® said: “The Steel Plugs can be used for low pressure testing and plugging pipes, pipelines and pipework fabrications and other ori ces between 2 and 48” (50 to 1,200
mm) diameter. This Range is spe- ci cally designed for heavier duty applications such as long immer- sion in water, for use at higher temperatures or for contact with acidic or alkaline environments for which the Nylon, Aluminium and In atable Plugs in the Pipestop- pers® Range are not suitable.”
The HFT® Steel Plugs are available as single and double models with sealing rings made from viton, silicon, neoprene, nitrile or natural rubbers for resistance to different temperatures and chemicals.
