Do you need a perfect weld every time? Let us tell you how it’s done.
FAQ about Orbital Welding
What is orbital welding used for?
Especially for hygienic piping, welding exotic metals, and critical process lines where quality must not waver. The method is superior when piping requires perfect internal surface smoothness and 100% repeatable quality – for example, in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries.
How do you ensure weld cleanliness?
Cleanliness is the most important stage of the process. We ensure it on three levels:
- Preparation: Pipe ends are mechanically processed and chemically cleaned before joining.
- Purge gas: A shielding gas (e.g., Argon) is used inside the pipe to displace oxygen and prevent the weld from “burning,” i.e., oxidizing from the inside.
- Oxygen measurement: We digitally measure the residual oxygen level (ppm) before every weld. The arc will not strike until the oxygen level is within permissible limits.
Are all welds documented?
Yes. The orbital equipment automatically records the welding parameters (current, voltage, speed) for every seam. At the end of the project, we deliver a complete handover package containing the weld log, material certificates, and, if required, the results of endoscopic inspections (video checks).
Orbital welding – technology that makes quality a certainty
Orbital welding is the industrial equivalent of a surgeon’s scalpel: when you need a flawless result, you don’t use a handsaw.
The method is based on precision, control, and automated repeatability. With orbital welding, quality doesn’t depend on the operator’s mood or the length of a coffee break – it is programmed to be perfect every time.
At PreOne, we utilize the latest TIG orbital welding systems to achieve fully repeatable and oxide-free welds. Every parameter – current, speed, shielding gas – is recorded automatically, making the process fully traceable. This is critical in hygienic piping, the pharmaceutical and food industries, and demanding chemical processes.
But while the machine handles the welding, the human ensures the quality.
PreOne’s welders are experienced professionals who know the behavior of metal inside out. They adjust, fine-tune, and monitor to ensure that every joint is exactly as it should be – not “almost,” but precisely.
We often say that orbital welding is like good coffee: if it doesn’t taste the same every time, there is something wrong with the machine. At PreOne, our machines and our people work in perfect sync.
