Pressure is 0.05~0.3MPa. Nitrogen flow of 4~6L/min (gas flow can be sensed by hand) shall
be guaranteed to charge in work pieces.
After assembling, nitrogen begins to charge until welding is finished and will continue over 10s
during cooling after welding.
Main points of nitrogen charge
※
(
See the drawing below
)
When nitrogen is charged, the press switch on the quick connector and inflator shall be
◆
closed to let nitrogen totally filled in the pipe.
Make sure nitrogen reaches all welding connectors in order to effectively discharge air.
◆
A vent port must be available when nitrogen charge is continuously performed, or otherwise
◆
gas would escape from gap around connector, making welding stuffing difficult and prone to
pores.

d. Welding heating
Notes:
●
Braze welding is flame hard braze welding. Relevant safety operating regulations must be
abided by.
●
Confirm that nitrogen is flowing through before copper pipe is heated.
●
Neutral flame or slightly reducing flame shall be used for red copper braze welding. Outer
flame is normally used. Copper pipe connectors shall be heated uniformly. Take care to
distribute heat in terms of dimension of pipe material. Generally, insert pipe shall be
preheated at first for close matching and then swayed along length of connector to make it
heated uniformly until braze welding temperature is approached; then copper pipe is heated
circularly to reach braze welding temperature (copper pipe becomes light red) and at the
same time brazing filler metal is added circularly to fill in the clearance around the connector
uniformly; and afterwards, the welding torch is slowly moved away from the pipe and a small
amount of brazing filler metal continues to be filled in until smooth fillet is formed.
●
During heating, welding rod shall not be burned directly by flame. Heating time shall not be
very long.
●
During welding, flame shall be controlled well on its direction and kept away from rubber
casing, sponge and cables.
e. Post-welding treatment
(
cooling
)
●
After welding, in the condition of nitrogen protection available, the connector shall be heated
until the copper pipe changes color (200-300 ), i.e.
℃
annealing treatment.
●
Before welding seam becomes completely solidified, welded pieces shall not be moved or
shocked.
●
For welded piece cooled by water, take care not to let water enter into copper pipe and try to
prevent residue water flowing into the pipe when welded piece is laid aside.
f. Quality and inspection of braze welding
Welding seam should have smooth surface. Fillet should be even and full with natural arc
transition. Braze welding connector should be free from defects such as over-burning, welding
blockage, crack, rough surface of welding seam and burning through. Welding seam should be
free from defects such as pore, slag inclusion, underfill, rosin joint and overlap.
