DISSOLVING PURGE PAPER
Intercon Heavy-Duty Water Soluble Purge Paper and Tape are sometimes
the only available solution to a pipe purge problem.
When conventional purging systems cannot be used, Intercon has this product available in rolls as well as
sheets. A water-soluble tape in 1" or 2" widths is used for affixing the
paper to the inside of the pipe wall. After the weld is complete, the paper is flushed away with water or steam.
We recommend using a sintered gas
diffuser for introducing the purge gas to the area. A diffuser will
always reduce the turbulence and create a better weld.

and Socket Weld Spacer Rings (SoluGap®)
The medium duty paper is recommended for purging pipe
in sizes smaller than 4" (100mm). The heavy duty paper can be used for all pipe sizes.
Also available is Dissolving Weld Gap Spacers. This is a more specialized, heavy duty, preformed paper
approved for use in industries such as nuclear, petrochemical, and food production. Available for pipe sizes ranging from 1/2" to 6". Download pdf
