PipeWorx Welding System Pipe Welding Fabrication Quick Specs Process Piping Refinery Petrochemical Power HVAC and Water Pipe Stick (SMAW) DC TIG (GTAW) MIG (GMAW) MIG RMD® (GMAW MSC) Pulsed MIG (GMAW-P) Flux-Cored (FCAW) Multiprocess Pipe Welding Systems Rated Output Output Range Power Source: 225 lb. (102 kg) Single Feeder: 65 lb. (29.5 kg) Dual Feeder: 90 lb. (41 kg) Cooler: 133 lb. (60 kg) Simple Process Setup • Clearly labeled controls in easy-to-understand welder terminology. • Requires just a few basic steps to set up a new weld process, resulting in less training time and minimizing errors from incorrect setups. • The front panel was designed by welders for welders. Only backlit controls are adjustable to eliminate confusion. • Memory feature stores four programs for each selection: Stick, DC TIG, and MIG (left and right side of feeder). Beneficial when using multiple procedures, multiple process parameters or multiple welders and eliminates the need to remember parameters. NEW! Accu-Power™ PipeWorx Memory Card (optional) displays instantaneous power during welding to meet the new ASME requirement for calculating heat input on complex waveform processes (RMD® and Pulsed MIG). See page 4 for more information. Designed exclusively for pipe fabrication shops. Multiprocess Machine • Weld processes are optimized to deliver superior arc performance and stability specifically for root pass, fill and cap pipe welding. • Includes conventional Stick, DC TIG (Lift-Arc™ or HF Start), Flux-Cored and MIG welding processes. • Also features the advanced RMD® and Pulsed MIG processes that deliver superior quality welds, increase productivity, and reduce rework and training. Quick Process Changeover Streamlined System • No need to manually switch polarity or cables and hoses between processes. Simply push a process selection button to choose a welding process. PipeWorx ‘Quick-Select’ technology automatically selects the welding process, the correct polarity, cable outputs and welding parameters. • Quick process changeover eliminates set-up time for switching cables and gas hoses. Also, reduces the risk of weld reworks due to incorrect cable connection. • Wind Tunnel Technology™ and Fan-OnDemand™ provide system protection in the dusty shop environment. • Innovative cable and gun storage manages clutter for a cleaner, organized weld-cell area. Cables remain connected to the power source and do not need to be switched for the different welding processes. • All system components have been selected to meet the needs of a pipe fabrication shop. PipeWorx Welding System #951 381 shown with Accessory Kit #300 568. (Filler metal and shielding gas sold separately.) Power source is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor.

PipeWorx Welding System (Continued) Rear Panel of Feeder Right-sized power source provides 400 amps at 100 percent duty cycle for Stick for maximum stick electrode diameters. Provides 350 amps at 100 percent duty cycle for TIG welding in highamperage applications. Provides 400 amps at 100 percent duty cycle for MIG and gas-shielded Flux-Cored weld processes. Volt Sense Lead Connection—This provides accurate voltage feedback for proper operation of the MIG Welding Processes. Note: The arc will be hotter than typical welding systems at a given setting because the voltage loss in the weld...

Welding Process Capabilities The PipeWorx Welding System provides standard welding process programs (detailed in the table below), specifically designed for the welding of carbon steel and stainless steel pipe. The MIG-Modified Short Circuit (RMD®) Programs and Pulsed MIG Programs are synergic programs designed specifically for combinations of wire type, wire diameter and shielding gas. The power source is shipped with typical weld parameters for pipe welding. There is a means to reset the power source back to the typical weld conditions (factory settings). Synergic welding programs can...

Improved Arc Performance RMD® (Regulated Metal Deposition) A precisely controlled short-circuit metal transfer that provides a calm, stable arc and weld puddle. This provides less chance of cold lap or lack of fusion, less spatter and a higher quality root pass on pipe. The stability of the weld process lessens the puddle manipulation required by the welder and is more tolerant to hi-lo conditions, reducing training requirements. Weld bead profiles are thicker than conventional root pass welds which can eliminate the need for a hot pass, improving weld productivity. In some stainless steel...
