HOW TO Back Purge Stainless Steel Tube and Schedule Pipe + TIPS

[@connor7278]

Running a water line in a beverage facility now, this video answered my question perfectly!

[@hourglassingenuity103]

That’s fantastic!

[@marklowe7431]

I'm stunned at the quality in these videos both the knowledge and the teaching ability.

[@leobuck4062]

Glad to have you back youtube creating some great videos

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thanks for watching! Means a lot. Have a great weekend!

[@ndav8r]

I TIG weld vintage SS auto trim, and at .011" thin, back purging is a must! I also weld in Aerospace which I back purge almost everything there...can't get by any certified tests without it!

[@brandonmahoney3550]

Brad killing it with these videos as always! Another informative and entertaining video!

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thanks so much for dropping in and watching! I really appreciate the comment man. Have a great weekend!

[@brandonmahoney3550]

HourGlassIngenuity right back at you man!

[@Missileworksllc]

Always learning something new. Never knew to purge upwards until now. Thanks for the great tips 👍

[@hourglassingenuity103]

That’s awesome man! Thanks for watching and I’m glad I could pass on a tip 👊🏻👊🏻

[@MetalgearLuke]

Brad, you have so much knowledge. I recently stumbled across your channel a few months ago, because im taking my welding to the next level. I was wondering why you stopped making videos? Did you start a new channel? The welding community could very much benefit from your experience

[@AlexasArtRoom]

Thank you so much for this video!! You are an excellent instructor! Very detailed, clear, straight to the point.

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thank you!

[@alexweeks4203]

Excellent video, Brad! As usual with your videos, I appreciate the quality of the video and the accuracy of the information outlined in the video. It’s nice to hear standard terms for things like carbide precipitation, and pointing out that “sugaring” is more or less the slang equivalent. It makes it easier to know exactly what you mean.

[@michaelcostello6991]

Great video on back purging. Very good demonstrations . Thank you.

Thanks so much!

Hey Andrew! Thank you, I appreciate you for watching and thanks for commenting! Absolutely, I enjoy trying to explain things and I’m more than happy to help anywhere I can! Have a great day.

[@gleaseman]

Fantastic explanation, Brad! This'll save a lot of guys some hard-learnin'. The Tig Aesthetics plus are such an invaluable tool, too.

I’ve been curious about these TIG aesthetics purge plugs. I’ve got zero purging experience and have been wanting to try it. Awesome video Brad 👊🏻

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thank you very much! I highly recommend them. They work fantastic! If you ever need any help send me a message on Instagram. Have a great weekend!

[@sethstrohm7877]

One of the better vids I've seen on back purge an I cant wait till I get too use my purge plugs I no they work well I've jus not used them yet ....good video love learning anything about tig welding

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate your feedback!

[@garybendickson7262]

Well Done I like how you explain out fit up & purge I work in the food industry & are Stainless welds whether 304 or 316 have to be perfect so I 100% agree that everything has to be as close to perfect as can be . I see from your shop you must do a lot of Turbo conversions that sure would be fun in my books . I like your V band connector your systems must be first class & beautiful to look at would love to see some under hood shots of cars you have done & what the system looks like after the Turbo. Wow really nice !

[@jasonwood1864]

love watching the videos Brad, keep up the great work. hopefully we see more weekends away with brad, really enjoy the behind the scenes feel and getting to know the fabricators I follow on social media

[@hourglassingenuity103]

[@aghettogranny4873]

Love the video man! Lots of great tips. I’m curious as to what you control the purge with turning it on and off. Do you have a regulator or do you just open your bottle and close it when done?

[@Kresho85]

Best explanation ever

Hello, great Video. Simple great 👍 Greetings from Austria 👋

[@adamlloyd2688]

Awesome video as always, what sort of amp are you running?

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Thanks Adam! I run 65 amps on the machine and typically use 80-85% of the pedal.. I have the extra amperage there to utilize really penetrating on restarts and widening the toe width quickly to get going again and avoiding unnecessary concentrated heat input by hanging around too long. 👊🏻

No we considered my purge would blow out the shielding gas. Thanks!

[@hourglassingenuity103]

It sucks when it happens but it’s definitely a very real possibility! I’ve ruined plenty of parts to figure that one out. 🙌🏻

[@YszapHun]

9:40 I do not suggest using any tape, whether it's masking tape or PET tape because all of them leave some kind of glue residue, and when a pipe is tacked together it's impossible to remove all of the tape residue without getting some of that inside the joint, between the two metals.

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Whether it is Tube or pipe.. Powder coating tape leaves no residue.. that’s why I use it... I appreciate your input and I can promise you my recommendation works and works well. I have welded plenty of aerospace parts using this method that have very strict requirements and I have also used this same method to weld many many titanium and stainless tube assemblies. Have a great weekend!

[@YszapHun]

@@hourglassingenuity103 Just did a check as to what powder coating tape means for you, but it's the same PET tape of what I thought it was. I believe in your experience, if you say that it leaves no residue. I hadn't yet done any weld job that needed X-ray but I would imagine that it would have left residue (I am extremely meticulous about cleanliness). I really like that you read and answer all relevant comments, you're a cool guy.

[@hourglassingenuity103]

YszapHun I try and read and answer every comment if I can! I really appreciate your opinion on the topic and I enjoy reading your comments because you seem very educated. I have never had any trouble with residue but I have had massive amounts of trouble with using scotch brite on a tacked joint and introducing fibers into the joint and have contamination issues that way. Either way, so many ways to do something! Thank you for your time and engagement. 🙌🏻

[@Missileworksllc]

YszapHun don’t know if PET tape is the same as kapton tape. But kapton tape has been the go to for many. And as brad said, it doesn’t leave residue.

[@bradvincet1848]

You would be appalled if you saw some of the shit that people do in the building trades. "Back purge? Nah, that takes to long besides it's not really necessary for what we're doing." I hear that all the time, and we're a skilled trade.

[@sssmithVR]

Why is having a diffuser on the purge so important? Argon is heavier than oxygen. Just like the water example, filling up a glass is going to be the same if the water is diffused or not. It's still going to remove the air exactly the same as it fills up from the bottom.

Basically junk? Very harsh judgement when not stating for which application it is considered junk part. 99% post turbo exhaust parts are not purged and I have made many exhausts with or without purge. Not a single cracking after years of use. When in contact with liquid, intake, or very high temperatures all 100% purged when using austenitic steel and high nickel alloys.

[@hourglassingenuity103]

Not harsh at all. Anything that isn’t purged is low quality. Sorry. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I don’t know who this 99% of post turbo exhaust parts that isn’t being purged is.. but that’s False info. I literally don’t know anyone who doesn’t purge exhaust parts in this industry.. and I know a lot of people in it. Sorry to hurt your feelings.. have a good day.
