One High Purity Systems (HPS) customer, a photonics developer focused on the industrial, scientific, and medical industries, came to our team for help with their argon delivery system. The company, which works with energy systems such as ultra-violet (UV) and infrared (IR) light, needed to expand from an individual bottle setup to a bulk gas delivery system.
Using an orbital welding process, the HPS site team installed ½” stainless steel 316L 15Ra electropolished (EP) tubing from the photonics lab area to the outdoor gas storage pad. The argon piping system was orbital welded to minimize any risk of leaks throughout the building.
A gas panel was also relocated during this project. The entire argon system was installed, tested, and ready for service in just three weeks with minimal impact to our customer’s daily operations.
