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

Shielding Gases
The range provides for both MIG and TIG variants based on the
BS EN 13918 : 2003. Both units are calibrated to ensure maximum gas
efficiency for the gas shielded arc welding processes.
Ar-2TIG
This single-stage regulator has been preset at 2 bar (30psi) to give a constant
performance. It has been designed specifically for Argon-Tig welding and can
be used by itself or with a bobbin type flowmeter.
Argoshield Arc-40L
Proved to be the most economic regulator for use with Argon and Argon
mixtures. The two stage design eliminates the pulsating of gases which is so
wasteful. It will overcome the problem in the most economic and efficient
manner. Fitted with a flow gauge which is coloured to indicate recommended
flow rates, this regulator will cope with heavy duty service where high flow
(up to 40L/M-80ft3/hr) is required. The two stages and large diaphragm greatly
reduce the possibility of freezing.

Saffire cutters have the benefit of a unique cutting oxygen flow valve which through
the cutting lever acts indirectly to bring in the oxygen stream. This important feature
gives a true “bleed” characteristic to create splash free starts and progressive
piercing and the smoothest possible cutting conditions.

The most common use is to “back gouge” butt welds to remove any

They also find application in the removal of
