Aquasol® Water Soluble Paper and Tape: How it Works

Step 1:
Clean area to be welded. 		Dirty Pipe
Clean area to be welded with wire brush. 		EZ Wipes
Wipe area with a saturated cloth - such as EZ Wipes® by Aquasol. Wait approximately two minutes for cleaning agents to evaporate. 		Cleaning Pipe
EZ Wipes® feature a two-sided cleaning fabric, an abrasive side to loosen dried on surface contaminants, and a smooth side to reveal a cleaner, polished surface.
Step 2:
Construct Dam. 		Trace pipe
Trace the pipe's inner diameter on the paper by pressing against the pipe to create an impression of the pipe. 		Cut paper
Cut Aquasol® Paper into a circle with a diameter about 1.3 times the inner diameter of the pipe.
Slit approximately 1" to 2" segments perpendicular to impression on paper. Do not exceed inner diameter circle.
Step 3:
Insert Dam and tape in place. 		Insert Dam in pipe
Insert dam 6-8" from root gap with the lip toward the weld preparation. 		Tape dam in place
Tape dam in place. 		Repeat
Repeat Step 2. Insert and tape dam on opposite pipe.
Step 4:
Introduce gas and weld. 		Cover root gap
Cover root gap with EZ Zone™ Tape, a contaminant-free gas retaining tape. 		Insert purge needle
Insert purge gas needle into root gap. Ensure connection to gas line. 		Introduce noble gas, start welding
Introduce noble gas and start welding.
Step 5:
Dissolve Aquasol® Water Soluble Purge Dam. 		Hydro-test
Simulation of hydro-test (flushing line).
