To assist users in the selection of the correct arc welding equipment, Murex Welding Products has published a comprehensive new guide.
Portable plasma cutter handles 12mm thick material
Conductive material cutting capacity up to 12mm thick is available with the Murex Sabre-Arc 35i portable plasma cutting system from Murex Welding Products.
They are designed to fully comply with BS EN ISO2503 and manufactured to quality management systems under ISO9000.
Two different versions of regulator are available for oxygen and propane service plus flow check gauges, flashback arrestors and hose to complete the kit.
The units suit both Railtech and Thermit processes.
The designs incorporate important performance features, such as a large diameter body and bonnet for better cold weather function, and quick connections for "on-site" convenience.
Permanently engraved technical data is provided for added safety, giving immediate recognition of type and pressure.
To assist maintenance and recommended replacement under BCGA guidelines, the body is also date coded.
Other features include a pressure indicator assembly that eliminates the need for vulnerable gauges.
Large-diameter check gauges with clear faces and added protection of a shock-absorbing shroud are also provided.
High flow flashback arresters with large surface flame arrester, nonreturn valve and thermal cutoff device are provided, and all hoses and fittings are tested to EN559 and factory assembled to EN1256.
For ease of assembly, a large-diameter knurled handwheel connection allows rapid assembly without the need for spanners.
The easy grip function is specifically designed for use with gloves. Request a free brochure from Murex Welding Products ...
