Purge Bag System

The PPM Purge Bag System is a double inflatable pipe purging solution designed to deliver fast, efficient and oxygen-free weld environments. 

Used primarily in stainless steel and high-spec pipe welding applications, the system creates a sealed purge zone using two inflatable dams connected by a central spine. This allows welders to achieve clean, oxide-free welds while significantly reducing purge time and gas consumption. 

The purge bag system is engineered for speed, reliability and consistent weld quality across a wide range of pipe diameters.

Features and Advantages

  • Double inflatable dam system for fast purging  
  • Creates oxygen-free environment for high-quality welds  
  • Significantly reduces purge time  
  • Minimises inert gas usage  
  • Heat resistant up to 70°C (158°F)  
  • Suitable for stainless steel and critical welding applications  
  • Quick setup and easy operation  
  • Durable construction for repeated use

Typical purge times: 

  • 4” pipe: approx. 1 minute  
  • 8” pipe: approx. 4 minutes  
  • 12” pipe: approx. 8 minutes
Purge Bag System

How It Works

The system uses a tandem inflatable dam design connected by an umbilical hose.

Once positioned inside the pipe, the dams are inflated to create a sealed purge zone around the weld. Gas is introduced between the dams, rapidly displacing oxygen and creating an optimal welding environment. 

A central luminous strip ensures accurate positioning before inflation.
