Goff's
Welding Curtain Walls
Goff's welding curtain walls slide in and out of use easily to form a UV
protected area. Goff's curtains are spark resistant. Goff's Weld
curtains can help with the containment of welding fumes keeping them
confined to that area until proper exhaust can occur. Curtain walls can
act as a shield from harmful flying debris.

Submerged arc welding is nearly a fully automated process.

arc welding is done in a straight line, whereas robots are better for
complex shapes,” Mike Flagg, manager of the applications engineering

presented in the Standard, and their efforts should be acknowledged and
appreciated.
