All About Our Argon Purge Monitors and Their Benefits

According to the American Welding Society, there are more than 500,000 welders currently employed in the United States. Considering that welding is one of the most important trades in America, with more than 50% of U.S.-made products requiring it in some form, it makes sense that welding professionals need the best tools for the job. Contrary to popular belief, welding isn’t as simple as welding two pieces of metal together. There’s a whole world of specialized tools out there that welders need.

The kicker? No two welding jobs are exactly the same. Some jobs might require that a welder uses purge monitors.

Argon purge monitors are most widely used pieces of monitoring equipment, and they come with a whole host of benefits. You get the best weld when you don’t have to be concerned about gases interfering, and these monitors will tell you when the best time to weld is, which means no time wasted. Looking for recommendations? Look no further! Here are two of our best purge monitors for you to consider:

Purge Monitor Pro2 Plus Complete 110V – 240V
Our Pro2 Plus has several features that make it worth investing in, including a measuring range of 1 to 204,6000 PPM and an incredibly accurate monitoring system. It also has the ability to log data, including time and date for documentation purposes, and is both printer and Bluetooth compatible. This purge monitor is designed to constantly measure resting oxygen levels in inert gases, as well as in gases like hydrogen. It’s used in multiple industries, including aerospace and pharmaceuticals, but can be applied to any position in the welding industry. In addition, this particular purge monitor comes complete with a probe and hose, as well as a case for storage and transport.

Purge Monitor Pro2 Mini Complete
A more portable choice for welders, the Pro2 Mini is a compact, battery powered device that is especially useful on the shop floor or on remote job sites. It has a measuring range of 5 to 1000 PPM, and features rechargeable lithium ion batteries, which means it can feasibly run for almost four and a half hours before needing to be recharged. Like its relative discussed above, this unit comes with a hose and probe and also features a carrying case and battery charger.

Both of these purge monitors are great for a variety of needs, with the Pro2 Mini being very capable as a handheld monitor. Ultimately the monitor you choose depends on your welding needs. If you have any questions about these products and how to obtain them, our experts are ready to answer.
