PURGE MONITOR
Purge monitors are commonly employed in industries such as welding, where inert gases like argon or nitrogen are used to create an oxygen-free atmosphere during certain processes.
The main purpose of a purge monitor is to ensure that the oxygen concentration remains within a specified range to prevent oxidation or combustion of materials. This is crucial in applications like welding stainless steel, where exposure to oxygen can lead to the formation of undesirable oxides.
Purge monitors typically provide real-time readings of oxygen levels, allowing operators to adjust the purging gas flow rate to maintain the desired oxygen concentration. They contribute to the quality and integrity of the welding or other processes by creating an oxygen-free environment, ensuring the desired results and minimizing defects.
