ABOUT I-PURGE
3

• The revolutionary, patent-pending I-Purge Modular
  Inflatable Bladder System is the most innovative
  and versatile pipe purging system available.
  I-Purge creates an impermeable seal to consume
  the least amount of purge gas during pipe purging
  and welding, saving time and money, while
  achieving consistent, high-quality welds.
• Manufactured in the USA, this long-term, reusable
  bladder system enables operators to satisfy a
  myriad of purge requirements with one
  interchangeable solution. 
• The I-Purge comes equipped with several highly
  advanced features such as its Quick Connect
  Fittings that snap-in place and allow easy
  assembly and disassembly of components.
• The I-Purge also features an extended length,
  high heat resistant harness that allows the
  bladders to be placed outside the heat affected
  zone and can also sufficiently accommodate any
  pre-heating or high heat applications.

• These state-of-the-art features allow the
  operator to create multiple configurations,
  including a one sided pipe stopper and a reducer.
  Bladders are available in sizes ranging from 2 to
  48? (51- 1219 mm) and may be purchased either
  individually or as a complete system, a distinct
  advantage should additional sizes be desired or a
  component need replacing.
• Ideal for fabrication shops, the I-Purge
  surpasses existing technology with its advanced
  design and provides the complete solution for all
  pipe purging needs.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
6
1) Inflatable Bladders Modules A B

• Manufactured in the USA from the highest quality
  materials
• Inflated bladders create an impermeable, air
  tight seal on pipe wall
• Spark resistant, durable exterior cover
• Heavy-duty interior inflatable bag
• Re-usable, long-lasting solution for purging
  multiple pipes of the same diameter

7
2) High Heat Extended Harnesses

• Internal hose and protective external fiberglass
  sleeve capable of withstanding high temperatures
• Flexible bridge harness easily navigates through
  pipes, including elbows and tees over 90
• Kink resistant hose assures continuous gas supply
• Complete with luminescent indicator for accurate
  alignment at root gap
• Various lengths of harnesses are available to
  accommodate heat affected zone (HAZ) during
  pre-heating and high heat applications
• I-Purge sizes 36? and greater are equipped with a
  high flow harness to expedite inflation

8
3) Quick Connect Interchangeable Fittings

• Push-button feature enables modules to
  snap-in-place in seconds
• State-of-the-art technology allows for greater
  versatility and easy assembly enabling the user
  to create multiple configurations
• Easy change and replacement of components to
  avoid costly re-purchase of complete system, with
  spare parts available for purchase
• Corrosion resistant proven lock mechanism for
  secure connection

9

• 4) Proprietary Relief Valve
• Factory pre-set relief valves allow for precise
  flow rates while minimizing set-up time and
  reducing gas consumption
• Aids in maintenance of optimum seal on pipe wall
• Prevents risk of over inflation
• Low profile relief valve available on 2? and 3?
  models

• 5) Inert Gas Diffuser
• Patent-pending technology
• Reduces turbulence by dispersing inert gas
  equally in all directions within the weld zone,
  improving weld quality and consistency

6) Tri-Flow Inner Tubing System (BLUE, BLACK
WHITE Hoses)

• Multiple inlet/exhaust ports for faster, more
  efficient purgingSeparate Connections
• BLUE   Inflation of BladdersInitial function is
  to inflate bladders then flood weld zone with
  noble gas
• BLACK  Increase Gas Distribution Within Weld
  ZoneDesigned to expedite purging, the secondary
  (BLACK) purge hose is used to flood the weld zone
  with inert gas and evacuate oxygen at a faster
  rate
• WHITE    Exhaust ConnectionConnect this hose to
  an Oxygen Monitor, such as Aquasols PRO OX-100
  that obtains readings down to 100 PPM (0.01),
  for continuous or spot monitoring of oxygen in
  the weld zone

• 7) Pull Loops
• Strong pull loops can be connected to a rope or
  chain to insert or remove the I-Purge
• It is important that bladders be deflated before
  insertion or removal
• Moderate tension (approx. 5 lbs.) should be
  applied on pull-wires to prevent sagging of the
  harness during installation and operation

• 8) Carrying Bag
• When welding is complete, bladders can be
  deflated, extracted, cleaned and stored in the
  provided carrying bag
• Carrying bag protects the bladder when not in use
  from dust and debris in most industrial work
  environments, prolonging life

13

• 9) I-Purge Reducer
• Unlike other models with permanent fittings, a
  pipe reducer can be easily created by simply
  connecting two bladders of different, yet similar
  diameters
• Combine different sizes to create unique pipe
  configurations

• 10) I-Purge Isolator Inflatable Pipe Stopper
  Single Purge Bladder
• The I-Purge Isolator is designed to function as a
  pipe plug for a wide range of applications,
  including purging of valves or tanks, as well as
  non-purging applications such as pipe system
  sealing for servicing, cleaning and inspection
• Constructed of heavy-duty materials designed to
  withstand the extreme conditions of the
  petrochemical, utility and construction
  industries
