a reliable and cost-effective way. Having this in mind, REIKA’s Managing Director is also confident that “Further orders can be concluded with the stainless steel tube giant at short notice. Particularly within the seamless stainless steel tube sector there is great demand – apparently REIKA’s experience in this sector for more than 50 years and our refer- ence projects at Sandvik, Valinox, Chelpipe and Tubacex, just to quote a few of them, are well known. In other words, top quality tubes deserve top quality technology!”

It is becoming ever more important to act sustainably to achieve efficient manufac- turing during the welding process. There are many factors that have an impact on sustainability where the welding process is concerned.
Reliable welding equipment
Weld Purge Monitors® are an essential instrument to help obtain non-oxidised, zero colour welds by monitoring the oxygen levels when welding sensitive materials such as titanium, zirconium, nickel, stain- less steels and low alloy steels containing chromium. Oxidation can lead to loss of corrosion resistance and a decrease in mechanical strength.
ITAtube Journal April 2022
Many decades of design and expertise has gone into developing the PurgEye® range of Weld Purge Monitors®. These extremely reliable monitors can measure residual oxygen content as low as 1ppm (0.0001%).
Increased welding speed
Inert gas purging is now the preferred method to avoid contamination during welding. The use of an Inflatable Weld Purging System can reduce purging times dramatically, particularly as tube and pipe diameters increase.
PurgElite® and QuickPurge® are now the industry’s standard inflatable devices. Man- ufactured from 1” (25 mm) right up to 88”
