OVER 50 YEARS OF SAFFIRE – THE SAFE REVOLUTION<br />
<strong>Murex</strong> <strong>Welding</strong> Products Saffire brand celebrated its 50th anniversary<br />
in 2006. Since the introduction of the first Saffire nozzle mix gas welding<br />
and cutting system, the brand has become synonymous with absolute<br />
safety in all aspects of oxy-fuel welding and cutting.<br />
1956 was the debut year of the Saffire nozzle mix gas welding and cutting<br />
system, which fundamentally rewrote the principles and working methods of<br />
gas mixing along the lines of safety.<br />
The idea of using a nozzle mixing, high-pressure system was quite well<br />
known at the time, but although its safety advantages were recognised,<br />
Saffire was the first to put it into practice.<br />
Consequently, Saffire was enormously successful from day one. A market<br />
leader from the start, Saffire has grown and changed with improvements<br />
since then, but the principle – Safety First – has always been the motivating<br />
force behind all developments.<br />
One of the immediate effects Saffire had was the simplifying of the oxy/fuel<br />
welding and cutting procedure, and by making the equipment virtually<br />
maintenance free, we had also ensured that mixing and handling two of the<br />
most reactive gases known was no longer a high-risk operation.<br />
In 1966 the new innovative blowpipe, Saffire 3, won a Design Centre Award.<br />
The original Saffire nozzle mix gas welding and cutting blowpipe has today<br />
evolved in the Saffire 5. In 2005 is was estimated that there could have been<br />
as many as half a million in use throughout the world. Versatility in use and<br />
on-going product developments have been instrumental to the success of<br />
the Saffire brand. Its application area is immense throughout all sectors of<br />
industry and it can be used for heating with acetylene and propane, flame<br />
cleaning, rivet cutting, circle cutting, gouging and sheet cutting. It is a<br />
system that provides a solution for so many jobs on a day-to-day basis in<br />
the workplace.<br />
From the original nozzle mix system, the Saffire gas product range has been<br />
dramatically developed to embrace flashback arrestors, regulators and other<br />
devices all synonymous with Safety First. Today flashback arrestors are<br />
fitted to all oxy-fuel welding/cutting systems and the use of this product is<br />
universally recognised as good procedure by Health & Safety Executives and<br />
factory inspectors. All Saffire products are now supplied under the quality<br />
management system of BS EN ISO 9001.<br />
Saffire was, and still is, a truly earth shaking revolution – and it remains the<br />
safest yet. As we’ve said since 1956, “Make it Saffire, Keep it Safe.”<br />

Saffire 300 Series 2+ Multi-Stage Regulators<br />
The Multi-stage series employ the principles of 2-stage gas control<br />
to provide precise and accurate delivery pressures under all<br />
conditions. This ensures the regulators are able to cover a full range<br />
of service requirements from fusion welding through to high integrity<br />
laboratory applications.<br />
The Saffire 300 Series 2+ regulators are the flagship models of the Saffire<br />
range. These multi-stage regulators are fully 300 bar capable whilst retaining<br />
the sensitivity and accuracy necessary for precise control.<br />
The regulators are fully compliant and certified to BS EN ISO 2530.<br />
As with all Saffire products these are manufactured under the quality<br />
management systems of BS EN ISO 9001.<br />
• 1st stage reduces the inlet pressure allowing very accurate adjustment<br />
through the 2nd stage<br />
• Fully compliant and certified to BS EN ISO 2503 with quality<br />
management to ISO 9001<br />
• High strength brass body with operational data permanently engraved<br />
• High specification safety device to protect the user<br />
• Full 300 bar inlet capability<br />
• Solid bulkhead gauges<br />
• Stainless and Neoprene diaphragms<br />
• KelF micro valve in first stage<br />
• Broad seat A92 valve in second stage<br />
Laboratory Regulators<br />
The Saffire Laboratory range provides<br />
both top and side entry connections<br />
to accommodate different cylinder<br />
valves. All components are purpose<br />
designed for non-corrosive high<br />
pressure gas service.1st stage<br />
diaphragm is coated stainless steel<br />
for high integrity leak tightness<br />
needed for “light” gases.<br />
NEVOC Regulator<br />
The trend in Europe to increased<br />
cylinder filling pressures has led to<br />
the adoption of a separate cylinder<br />
valve connection for industrial<br />
applications above 250 bar.<br />
The connection is designated<br />
“NEVOC” – New European Valve<br />
Outlet Connection. In practice<br />
cylinders filled above 250 bar and<br />
up to and including 300 bar will be<br />
fitted with NEVOC valves. Cylinders<br />
filled up to and including 250 bar<br />
will continue to use the standard<br />
BS 341 connection. This change<br />
will have the added benefit of being<br />
adopted across Europe.<br />

Shielding <strong>Gas</strong>es<br />
The range provides for both MIG and TIG variants based on the<br />
BS EN 13918 : 2003. Both units are calibrated to ensure maximum gas<br />
efficiency for the gas shielded arc welding processes.<br />
• Purpose designed for process<br />
• Full 300 bar inlet capability<br />
• Metered outlet orifice coupled with a highly efficient flow gauge gives<br />
accuracy and therefore economy when MIG welding<br />
• Factory calibrated and quality managed through ISO 9001 system<br />
<strong>Arc</strong>-35L & Co2-35L<br />
These two gauge single-stage regulators will cope with the majority of<br />
MIG/MAG welding applications and are small enough to sit within the<br />
circumference of the cylinder. Fitted with a flow gauge instead of the<br />
vulnerable bobbin type flowmeter, they have proved themselves ideal in the<br />
very rugged situations this equipment often has to withstand.<br />
Ar-2TIG<br />
This single-stage regulator has been preset at 2 bar (30psi) to give a constant<br />
performance. It has been designed specifically for Argon-Tig welding and can<br />
be used by itself or with a bobbin type flowmeter.<br />
Argoshield <strong>Arc</strong>-40L<br />
Proved to be the most economic regulator for use with Argon and Argon<br />
mixtures. The two stage design eliminates the pulsating of gases which is so<br />
wasteful. It will overcome the problem in the most economic and efficient<br />
manner. Fitted with a flow gauge which is coloured to indicate recommended<br />
flow rates, this regulator will cope with heavy duty service where high flow<br />
(up to 40L/M-80ft 3 /hr) is required. The two stages and large diaphragm greatly<br />
reduce the possibility of freezing.<br />

Saffire MK4 <strong>Gas</strong> Economiser<br />
This device provides economy in the use of gas in welding operations up to<br />
nozzle size 25. During non-welding periods the blowpipe can be hung safely<br />
on the hooked lever which operates the gas shut-off valves in the economiser.<br />
Saffire CO 2 Heater<br />
Specifically designed for use with Carbon Dioxide this unit allows flows of<br />
up to 40cfh without the risk of freezing or noticeable changes in the flow or<br />
pressure. They are available in 230V, 150 Watt versions.<br />
Flowmeter<br />
The vantage flowmeters are damage resistant tough poly carbonate with solid<br />
brass body and fittings. Two models are available, which are designed for use<br />
with the MIG or TIG process.<br />

5 <strong>Cutting</strong> Attachment<br />
Designed to cope with the rigours of the modern welding and<br />
fabrication environment, the robust Saffire 5 cutting attachment offers<br />
a host of features including a cutting oxygen valve which allows more<br />
control of the cutting oxygen flow for improved cut quality.<br />
The gas tubes between the body and head are in line, giving maximum<br />
visibility of the working area, also connections between the gas tubes and<br />
the head and body of the cutting attachment are brazed for increased<br />
strength. The head itself is equipped with internal threads for the head nut<br />
which greatly reduces the risk of thread damage, and finally the whole of the<br />
cutting attachment has a chrome finish to increase heat reflection and reduce<br />
spatter adhesion.<br />
In addition to welding between 1mm and 25mm and cutting to 200mm using<br />
acetylene, Saffire 5 with its increased flow capacity and using the appropriate<br />
attachments, can be used to perform a wide range of oxy fuel gas processes<br />
which include:<br />
• Heating with acetylene<br />
• Heating with propane<br />

B.S. Note: Where applicable blowpipes and<br />
nozzles are designed and manufactured to<br />
comply with BS EN 150 5172.<br />
All Saffire Cutters are equally suitable for Acetylene and Propane service simply by<br />
changing the nozzle.<br />
Saffire cutters have the benefit of a unique cutting oxygen flow valve which through<br />
the cutting lever acts indirectly to bring in the oxygen stream. This important feature<br />
gives a true “bleed” characteristic to create splash free starts and progressive<br />
piercing and the smoothest possible cutting conditions.<br />
Saffire NM Cutters are designed to BS EN 150 5172 “Handheld Blowpipes for<br />
<strong>Welding</strong> and <strong>Cutting</strong>” and manufactured under the quality management systems<br />
of BS EN ISO 9001.<br />
NM 250<br />
The NM 250 Model is principally intended for general workshop cutting up to<br />
250mm (10") capacity. The balance and trim combined with 500mm (18") length<br />
make it ideally suited for most industrial applications.<br />
NM 400<br />
This model has the benefit of a 75° head and 700m (27") length combined with a<br />
cutting capacity of 400mm (16"). The cutter is designed for heavy duty fabrication<br />
and scrap cutting applications where the combinations of head angle and extended<br />
length create both positive and comfortable working conditions for the operator.<br />

CUTTING NOZZLES<br />
Acetylene Nozzle Mix – ANM<br />
Saffire ® ANM Series cutting nozzles are manufactured from<br />
Tellurium Copper and are of solid, one piece drawn construction.<br />
This technology provides the best conditions<br />
for a high velocity gas such as acetylene and<br />
enhances stability and cutting efficiency.<br />
The seats of ANM nozzles are diamond<br />
turned to guarantee “metal to metal” seal<br />
with the blowpipe head. This is essential to<br />
ensure no head seat leaks, thereby<br />
reducing backfire risks.<br />

PNM – <strong>Cutting</strong> Nozzles<br />
Saffire ® PNM Series cutting nozzles are of two piece design made<br />
up of a brass inner nozzle with splines and a hollow drawn copper<br />
outer sheath. The reason that PNM’s differ from ANM is that different<br />
gas mixing criteria apply. Oxy-propane has a lower burning velocity<br />
than oxy-acetylene and this requires two things to develop good<br />
flame conditions. First, turbulence must be<br />
created between the inner and outer parts<br />
of the nozzle to obtain adequate mixing of<br />
the propane and oxygen. Secondly, the<br />
volume of mixed oxy-propane needs to be<br />
more than double that of oxy-acetylene for<br />
the same usable heat. This is achieved by<br />
having very large channels (the splines) to<br />
conduct the greater gas volumes.<br />

PROCESS NOZZLES<br />
Acetylene Gouging Nozzles<br />
AGNM nozzles employ the nozzle mix principle for gouging.<br />
In application the nozzle cuts a “U” shaped groove in the plate.<br />
The most common use is to “back gouge” butt welds to remove any<br />
defects prior to laying the final sealing run.<br />
They also find application in the removal of<br />
defective welds or flaws in steel plates.<br />
The use of oxy-acetylene allows for high<br />
speed cost effective production. There<br />
are 3 models in the range each providing<br />
a “U” groove of different dimensions.<br />

Safety Devices<br />
Saffire 36ec Flashback Arrestors<br />
Flashback Arrestors are essential safety devices which provide the<br />
maximum protection for the operator and his equipment in the event<br />
of a flashback.<br />
A flashback can be caused by a variety of conditions such as sustained<br />
backfire, incorrect hose purging or simply the wrong gas pressure. Most are<br />
attributable to operator errors.<br />
When a flashback occurs the flame front and pressure wave retreat into the<br />
blowpipe and hose at a very high speed. This can cause detonation within the<br />
system. It is essential that the regulator and more particularly the cylinder are<br />
protected from the effect of a flashback.<br />
The well proven 36ec conforms to the requirements of BS EN 730-1. The unit<br />
offers comprehensive protection from the dangers of flashback and has the<br />
following important safety features:<br />
• Reset Button – this is protected<br />
within the body of the unit to<br />
protect against damage. Very<br />
important. The “pop-up” feature<br />
indicates when a flashback has<br />
occurred and the arrestor<br />
activated. Simply lift to reset<br />
• Sintered Metal Flame Arresting<br />
Element – very large diameter with<br />
extensive surface area – designed<br />
to arrest the flashback flame<br />
quickly. The element size is<br />
important to long service life and<br />
to allow high flow use<br />
• Non-return Valve – upstream of<br />
the flame arresting element<br />
ensures no gas can backfeed to<br />
ignite incoming gases<br />
• Thermal Cut-off Device –<br />
designed to completely isolate the<br />
system by cutting off all incoming<br />
gases in the event of a fire<br />
• Pressure Sensitive Cut-off Valve –<br />
in the event of a flashback the<br />
pressure wave will activate the<br />
valve to cut off the gas supply<br />
automatically<br />

R<br />
Indicator button<br />
In normal operation a<br />
green safety band shows<br />
around the button. After a<br />
flashback the band does<br />
not show and the outer<br />
shroud must be lifted to<br />
reset the unit.<br />
Non-return valve<br />
Upstream of the flame<br />
arresting element, this unit<br />
ensures no gas can<br />
backfeed and ignite<br />
incoming gases.<br />
Sintered metal flame<br />
arresting element<br />
Extensive surface area<br />
designed to arrest a<br />
flashback flame quickly.<br />
The element surface area<br />
is important to ensure<br />
long service life and to<br />
permit high gas flow in<br />
normal operation.<br />
Pressure sensitive<br />
cut-off valve<br />
In the event of a<br />
flashback the pressure<br />
wave will activate the<br />
valve to cut off the gas<br />
supply automatically.<br />
Thermal cut off device<br />
Designed to cut off the<br />
gas in the event of<br />
extreme temperatures<br />
such as a hose fire. The<br />
unit is activated at 95ºC.<br />
In the event of a flashback<br />
the flame front strikes the<br />
retaining plate thereby<br />
displaying much of the<br />
flashback force. The flame<br />
front passes into the<br />
absorbtion chamber and is<br />
quenched as it enters the<br />
flame arresting element.<br />
The following pressure wave<br />
passes through the filter<br />
and activates the flow cut<br />
off valve by its pressure.<br />
This causes the reset button<br />
to move downwards.<br />
This equipment is thus<br />
rendered safe with the<br />
flashback flame extinguished<br />
and the incoming gas<br />
supply stopped.<br />
Saffire XL5 Flashback Arrestors<br />
The Saffire ® XL cylindrical flashback arrestors, are of advanced design giving<br />
a higher flow rate. Internally the XL is equipped with a large cylindrical flame<br />
arresting element, an automotive reset non-return valve and a heat sensitive<br />
automatic cut-off.<br />
• Automatic reset non-return valve<br />
• Heat sensitive cut-off valve<br />
• High flow flame arresting element<br />
• Inlet filter for internal mechanism<br />
• Conforms to BS EN 730-1<br />
Saffire Hose Check Valves<br />
A vital piece of equipment protecting against<br />
backfeed. The <strong>Murex</strong> hose check valve is a<br />
self-aligning non return valve which Is spring<br />
loaded and detects reverse gas flow; it<br />
automatically closes, therefore preventing the<br />
conditions which lead to flashback. Conforms<br />
to BS EN 730-2.<br />

IMP Flame <strong>Cutting</strong> Machines<br />
The IMP flame cutting machine represents the latest development in<br />
portable machine technology descending from a long line of tried and<br />
trusted predecessors. The IMP incorporates a great many user<br />
benefits not usually available on this class of machine and can operate<br />
on a variety of gas types such as acetylene, propane and natural gas.<br />
The machine lends itself to multiple blowpipe operation and has a capacity to<br />
cut 150mm plate as standard. Infinitely variable speed control and free running<br />
clutch extend its range of applications. The IMP is highly portable being light,<br />
well balanced and easy to carry and position. Whether on track or free<br />
standing, the inherent stability of design guarantees smooth, accurate cuts<br />
across the whole range of plate thicknesses.<br />
