At the Hanover Trade Fair, Germany-
based fluid power specialists from
Stauff presented the company’s
recently revised, updated and
expanded product catalogue, which
now consists of ten individual
catalogues per language.
The company’s comprehensive range
includes components for leak-free
connecting and secure fastening of
pipes, tubes and hoses for mobile and
industrial hydraulic applications and
other industries, as well as components
for shutting off, regulating, throttling and
measuring fluid media.
The portfolio is rounded off by filtration
systems and replacement filter
elements as well as accessories for
the construction of tanks, reservoirs,
power packs and gearboxes in mobile
and industrial hydraulics. Now also
included in the catalogue are hydraulic
hose connectors and quick-release
couplings developed and manufactured
by Voswinkel GmbH, a member of the
Stauff Group since April 2015.
With more than 1,700 pages in total, the
product catalogue provides information
about the company’s 40,000 standard
components that are considered to
be relevant and of particular interest
to design engineers and technical
purchasers of pipework components
and hydraulic accessories.
Product characteristics and features,
dimensions, materials and ordering
designations are included.
The new catalogue can be viewed
and downloaded from the company’s
website, which also allows users to
request printed and digital copies on
CD-ROM or USB memory stick, free of

Keeping an Eye on tube weld purging with
The PurgEye 100 from Huntingdon Fusion
When welding metals such as stainless
steel, titanium and nickel alloy, where a
high quality weld is required, weld purge
monitors can help obtain non-oxidised,
zero-colour welds by monitoring the
oxygen content. Huntingdon Fusion
Techniques’ (HFT) PurgEye® 100 can
help to eliminate post-weld cleaning
costs.
According to the company, a customer
recently said, “The PurgEye 100 is one of
the best, if not the best residual oxygen
detector instruments on the market
today, with its digital residual oxygen
level, LCD screen readouts measuring
as low as 100 ppm and its large, user-
friendly viewing screen making it easier
for me to read. The PurgEye 100 also has
a great accuracy of residual oxygen, with
speedy measurements being displayed
within seconds.”
The PurgEye 100 is IP65 rated and
features leak-tight push buttons, auto-
calibration features, vacuum-sealed
leak-tight probe assembly, wrist/neck
strap and tripod mount. The extra long-
life sensor provides approximately 18
months life before it requires changing.
A low-sensor indicator will appear on
the screen, warning that a new sensor
is required. Once that icon appears, it
provides the user with adequate time to
obtain a new sensor, which can be fitted
like changing a battery, and the monitor
can be re-calibrated easily by the user.
The PurgEye 100 has a clear, easy-to-
read LCD screen, with a 24mm-high
display, which also shows a low-battery
icon. When the monitor is not in use,
an automatic sleep mode activates to
conserve battery life. HFT has a range
of PurgEye weld purge monitors to
measure oxygen levels from atmospheric
content (20.94 per cent) down to 1 ppm
(accurate to 10 ppm).
