Achieving a flawless root pass on stainless steel pipe requires a perfect purge, and the Aquasol ASW-35/R-9 Water Soluble Paper Roll is the professional welder's choice for getting it done right. This 9-inch wide roll allows you to fabricate custom purge dams on the fly, eliminating the need to carry expensive and bulky inflatable bladder systems for every pipe size you encounter. Whether you are working in the field or the fabrication shop, this water-soluble paper provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective method to dam your pipe and keep your shield gas exactly where you need it.
The concept is simple but revolutionary: cut the paper to size, tape it inside the pipe using water-soluble tape, and you have created an airtight seal. The ASW-35 paper is engineered to hold back Argon, Helium, and other noble gases, creating a high-purity environment for your weld. Because it is made of Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, it is completely biodegradable and dissolves instantly when water is introduced to the system. This means there is no need for post-weld retrieval; simply flush the line, and the dam disappears without a trace. This feature is invaluable for complex piping systems with elbows and tees where retrieving a physical dam would be impossible.
The ASW-35/R-9 roll is 165 feet long, providing ample material for numerous jobs. Its 9-inch width makes it particularly useful for medium-diameter pipes, though it can be easily trimmed for smaller applications or pieced together for larger ones. It is compatible with all TIG welding applications involving stainless steel, chrome moly, and titanium. Stop wasting argon on purging entire pipe runs and start saving time and money with Aquasol's trusted water-soluble technology.
