Integrating Pipe Welding With Orbital Controller

The new OxyINTEGRAL from Orbitec can isolate the process and provide traceable documentation, enhancing safety and weld integrity.

The new OxyINTEGRAL from Orbitec is accurate at titanium weld purging levels and, when integrated with the company's orbital welding controllers, can isolate the process and provide traceable documentation, enhancing safety and weld integrity.

OxyINTEGRAL is a high accuracy oxygen meter that uses a precision chemical cell (Zirconium Oxide) to determine low-volume oxygen levels compared with normal air.

The unit can be calibrated in normal ambient conditions and will read down to one part per million.

With its integrated sampling pump, the latest models can be used independently, as an integrated unit with Orbitec's unique TIGTRONIC controller providing documented traceability or interfaced with any other orbital welding manufacturer's controllers.

The interlock function allows OxyINTEGRAL to be used as a condition isolator, preventing welding taking place where Oxygen levels are likely to cause oxidation or bad welds.

An optional analyser, the Oxy-2, provides calibrated measurement of pure or mixed inert gases and controls processes throughout the welding sequence.

A rechargeable battery pack and base station are standard features of OxyINTEGRAL and its light weight and ergonomic shape make it the ideal portable instrument for all orbital welding applications, whatever the equipment being used.
