Custom made qualification purge plate with Pelican case

Date 04-05-2017 01:29

My company has been busy this winter building a Purge plate kit for the on-the-go inspector in the aerospace industry. It comes complete with its own pelican case and everything you could need for a welder qualification. I also have a procedure qualification plate in the works.
Id like to hear what you think.

So, you are qualifying the welders with backing and purge?

I typically have the client make a fixture so they have it available for practice and anytime they need to qualify their welders. Also, maintenance is their problem, because it will be abused over, and over, and over.

I have a similar design, but there is a deep slot for open root. The purge, a pipe with numerous holes drilled through it, can be inserted if it is needed.

The fixture for procedure qualified includes a 22 inch slot so I can weld 20 inch long coupons when necessary.

Usually for aerospace sheet metal yes I do. I made these kits to sell, I made 4 of them to see what I could get going. I have a procedure qualification plate too in the works. You can unbolt the copper strip and also run open root on this one as well. I tried to get it in a case type package set up so that everything is in one place.
