Helium
Leak detecting, laser welding and much more.
Most commonly known for filling balloons, Helium is one of the lightest gases due to it’s low density and small atom radius, this is why it is particularly good at finding leaks in pressurised systems.
Helium is chemically inert, which makes it a suitable component in shielding gases for a number of welding applications. The high thermal conductivity and high ionisation potential results in fast weld speeds and fantastic plasma suppression, the preferred option for high power laser welding.
Supplied at a pressure of 200 bar in 10, 20 or 50 litre cylinders to suit your business needs.
If you require a Helium gas mixture for use with aluminium and stainless steel, have a look at our Helimix AL and Helimix SS products.
