Diverse Technologies DKPW Demag Kit for Welders

Diverse Technologies DKPW Demag Kit for Welders

Pipe and Plate Demagnetization

The DKPW kit is everything needed to overcome magnetic arc blow in one robust and easy to use package. At its heart is the world leading Zeromag machine, which measures and neutralizes magnetic fields which may be present in the weld preparation region of mating steel components. At 25 kg, this is a portable machine that can be carried by one person from site to site or where it is needed. Zeromag ZM100A, working with up to 100m of demagnetizing cable, can provide the necessary reverse magnetic field for most pipe welding scenarios. With the optional ZeroZone accessory, specifically built for plate applications, plate welds can be demagnetized more efficiently than lay on coils and is easier to deploy.

Plate Weld Demag Application

ZeroZone Optional Accessory

For high fields, the most efficient way to null the magnetic field is to use ZeroZone. Pre-wound with 40 turns and provides a magnetic bridge across the weld prep to allow control of the magnetism. In operation, ZeroZone is placed across the weld prep. The arms and pole pieces are adjusted so that the active area of the pole pieces are in close contact with both sides of the work piece. ZeroZone is then connected back to Zeromag and the system used as normal. ZeroZone is particularly effective with Zeromag operated in automatic or manual nulling modes. Rapidly deployed and simple to operate.
