Annapolis Junction, Md. – ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced WeldCloud Notes PQR/WPS document management software as part of its ESAB Digital Solutions suite of online management tools. WeldCloud Notes enables companies to better perform four essential tasks: 

Maintain quality and compliance while managing PQR (procedure qualification records) and WPS (welding procedure specifications) documents in one place; Efficiently review all of its PQR, WPS and WPQ (weld procedure qualifications) information with a quick and easy search feature (view video); Generate a PQR or WPQ with all essential variables; Prevent missing a qualification expiration date or wasting time and ...

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has globally introduced Cryo-Shield Ni9, a Ni Cr Mo alloy flux cored wire used for all-position welding of 9% Ni steel LNG fuel and storage tanks with 100% CO2 shielding gas. This modified 625-type wire offers excellent crack resistance and is superior to conventional NiCrMo-3 wires. Mechanical properties are similar to Hastelloy ENiMo-13 flux cored wires but at lower purchase price because of its modified formula. Further, because it uses 100% CO2 shielding gas instead of an argon blend, it lowers operating cost. The wire carries approvals from the ABS, BV, DNV GL, KR, LR and CCS classification societies.

“We developed Cyro-Shield Ni9 in response to ...

Annapolis Junction, Md. – Victor®, an ESAB brand, has launched its improved EDGE™ 2.0 ESS32 PFH-580 pressure/flow hybrid regulator. The new design allows for significantly higher flow performance during pressure testing, resulting in systems that pressurize much faster and improve productivity. Designed for three common HVAC applications — brazing, purging and pressure testing — the EDGE 2.0 PFH-580 combines flow and pressure regulation functions in a single device.

Traditionally, a regulator would either be a flow regulation device or a pressure delivery regulation device. To create a wide range of adjustability, Victor designed the newly patented dual-stage gas flow orifice. The first ...

Annapolis Junction, Md. – ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced its new SmartPipe™ system for automated plasma or oxy-fuel cutting of pipe alongside a table for cutting flat plate. The SmartPipe standard line covers pipe in diameters from 2 to 12 in., lengths up to 20 ft. and weights up to 2,200 lbs. SmartPipe HD (heavy duty) can handle pipe diameters up to 10 ft. (including the common 36, 48 and 72 in. diameters) and lengths up to 60 ft.

The SmartPipe system consists of a pipe turning unit with a manually adjustable chuck and a CNC-controlled turning axis, two or more adjustable-position pipe supports and a support track. A typical configuration would situate the turning ...
