Weld head fits restricted clearance jobs
The new Model DLP 1.4 low profile weld head is designed especially for restricted clearance applications, such as those needed for welding boiler tubes and similar close tube assemblies.
Requiring only a 1.4 in. radial envelope between tubes, the DLP 1.4 is particularly suited for restricted radial and axial clearance welding applications on 1 in. through 6 in. diameter pipe. The low radial clearance is maintained throughout the full size range.
The unit is a full-function weld head with travel, wire feed, arc voltage control, and cross-seam oscillation functions. It features a water-cooled body housing and torch assembly for maximum production. The 200 amp at 100% duty-cycle torch provides a state-of-the-art shielding gas design, eliminating the need for ceramic gas cups while providing gas shield and trailing gas shield in a single assembly.
Features like its segmented design, integral quick-clamp mounting mechanism, and top-loading tungsten device provide for accurate alignment and easy installation and setup.

Free brochure discusses odorization systems
A new 6 page, full-color brochure details a complete line of odorization products and systems.
The free brochure, "Odorization for a Cleaner Environment," discusses several systems and products. Among these is the Millennium Series of pulse bypass systems for odorizing natural gas. All series systems are designed for operation without a pump or other moving parts. These systems offer a wide flow range, easy maintenance, accurate flow tracking, and the ability to retrofit to an existing bypass tank.
They also feature remote access capability, and the design eliminates vapor locking or leaky seals.
In addition, Accu/Line odorizer injection systems are offered, incorporating program logic control technology and remote access capability for precision operation and extensive system information. For ease of use, the Millennium and Accu/Line systems offer simple, easy-to-use touch screen technology.
Also discussed are OdorX odor eliminator (an enzymatic liquid developed for the elimination of odors, including natural gas odorants), plus various monitors, tanks, and level gauges.

Diesel driven welder handles offshore work
The new Shield-Arc SAE-400 severe duty diesel engine driven welder is designed for offshore and other corrosive environments. The unit has a stainless steel roof, control panel, remote control box, and doors. In addition, it has a number of other corrosion-resistant features to be able to withstand the harsh conditions typically encountered on rigs, barges, and other demanding field work. The unit is both a 400 amp dc arc welding power source that promises outstanding arc characteristics for stick welding needs and an ac generator that can be used to provide electricity on the job, the firm notes.
The unit features a hot-dip galvanized base, radiator shroud, and internal steel components to further help it resist corrosion. It uses mostly stainless steel fasteners that are assembled with an antiseize compound. Its brushholder assembly is also stainless steel for long-lasting durability, and Lexan nameplates help assure that printing will not wash out from salt air. Covers protect all receptacles of the unit while toggle switches are sealed against moisture.
The generator, armature, and exciter lamination stack are dipped in e-coat for a tough, completely bonded coating. The radiator is phenolic dip-coated for corrosion protection. In addition, all the windings are copper. The fuel tank is coated inside and out with plastisol.
To meet US Mineral Management Services code, the unit has an air intake emergency shutdown device and a spark arrestor.
The welder offers dual continuous output control so operators can select either a soft "buttering" arc or a snappy "digging" arc for fast, high-quality welding. It also delivers 3,000 w of 115 v/230 v ac power to provide electricity for lights or power tools.
The SAE-400 is powered by a Perkins 1004.42 water-cooled diesel engine.
A pressure lubrication system with replaceable filters helps assure lubrication to all critical areas of the engine, and a sediment bowl and filter in the fuel line helps keep the fuel clean. With its large 22.5-gal fuel tank, it is designed to weld all day, the company notes. The unit has emergency shutdown protection for low oil pressure or high coolant temperature.
