PurgExtra Pipe Weld Purging Systems

PurgExtra pipe weld purging systems use tandem inflatable dams with additional gas inlets and exhausts. Confirm the bore size, gas connections and heat protection required for your application.

PurgExtra pipe weld purging systems extend the PurgElite family with additional gas inlets and multiple exhausts for applications needing a different purge-flow arrangement. The connected inflatable dams form a localized space on either side of the weld joint.

Select by actual pipe inside diameter

PurgExtra systems use the same bore ranges as PurgElite for the available 2 to 24 inch nominal pipe sizes. Measure the actual inside diameter and match it to the listed range; nominal pipe size alone is not enough to confirm fit.

Nominal Pipe Size – Inch	Nominal Pipe Size – mm	Inside-Diameter Range – mm	Optional Heat Covers
2″	51 mm	38 – 64 mm	HRC1002
3″	76 mm	64 – 89 mm	HRC1003
4″	102 mm	89 – 114 mm	HRC1004
5″	127 mm	114 – 140 mm	HRC1005
6″	152 mm	140 – 165 mm	HRC1006
7″	178 mm	165 – 191 mm	HRC1007
8″	203 mm	191 – 216 mm	HRC1008
10″	254 mm	241 – 267 mm	HRC1010
12″	305 mm	292 – 318 mm	HRC1012
14″	356 mm	343 – 368 mm	HRC1014
16″	406 mm	394 – 419 mm	HRC1016
18″	457 mm	445 – 470 mm	HRC1018
20″	508 mm	495 – 521 mm	HRC1020
21″	533 mm	521 – 546 mm	HRC1021
22″	559 mm	546 – 572 mm	HRC1022
23″	584 mm	572 – 597 mm	HRC1023
24″	610 mm	597 – 622 mm	HRC1024

How PurgExtra differs from PurgElite

Compare the required inlet and exhaust arrangement with the PurgElite inflatable purging system. PurgExtra is a separate system configuration, not simply a spare bladder. Match its connections and model to the intended installation rather than assuming every system uses a single external gas connection.

Positioning and connection features

The listed PurgExtra design incorporates IntaCal gas release and a RootGlo positioning band. Quick-fit connections use seals and retention components to connect the system. Check the supplied configuration and instructions when arranging inflation, purge flow and oxygen sampling.

Hose protection sleeve and PurgeGate valve

Specify a hose protection sleeve when the planned hose routing or heat exposure requires protection. Include the required hose arrangement and length with the quotation request.

Justram offers the Heavy Duty PurgeGate valve as an optional, Justram-customized pressure and flow-control accessory. It is not included with a standard system. Include it in the quotation request when a dedicated control accessory is required, and confirm the selected PurgExtra model, hose connections, valve orientation and supplied operating instructions before use.

Oxygen measurement and related systems

The PurgEye 100 monitor and accessories page provides a monitor option for applications within its measuring range. For lower oxygen limits, pumped sampling or recording requirements, compare the weld purge monitor range. For a central-sleeve purge arrangement, review QuickPurge III; for preheated pipework, discuss HotPurge with Justram.

Specify the system for your weld

Provide the pipe inside diameter, wall thickness, material, joint layout, access restrictions and any preheat or extended heat exposure when requesting a quotation. Confirm the model, hose connections, heat protection and operating instructions for the supplied system. Purge time and gas consumption depend on the installation and the oxygen limit required by the welding procedure.

Choose a monitor with a measuring range suitable for that oxygen limit. Compare the weld purge monitor range; the system and monitor have different functions, and an oxygen reading does not certify the completed weld.
