Helium

He

Helium is inert and the least soluble of all gases in liquids and is therefore used as a pressurization. Being inert, helium is used as a constituent in neutral atmospheres e.g., in heat treatment applications requiring a protective atmosphere.

Helium is used extensively in the welding industry as an inert shielding gas for arc welding. It is also used in conjunction with helium (“leak”) detectors to test the integrity of fabricated components and systems.

Helium

The primary source of helium is from natural gas wells. It is obtained by a liquefaction and stripping operation.Due to the world shortage in helium, many applications have recovery systems to reclaim the helium.

FAQs

Yes. We specialize in providing helium of various purity, including balloon helium or high-purity helium, but we do not retail.

We supply helium with purity levels ranging from 99.9% (3N) to 99.99995% (6.5N).

Our helium typically has an MOQ of around 100 cylinders. Single bottle sales are not accepted.

Generally, we can supply liquid helium. However, due to its requirement for transportation under low-temperature conditions and its propensity to evaporate over time, extended transportation distances may necessitate additional consideration for the evaporative nature of liquid helium.

We are a specialized gas supplier, and gases are our primary products. Generally, we can supply helium in cylinders or dewars along with the helium itself. We also accept customers’ tanks or tube trailers for filling at our facility but do not sell tanks or tube trailers.

Our helium products are commonly used in industries such as healthcare, semiconductor manufacturing, LCD production, fiber optics, and air conditioning. We offer various delivery methods to suit different needs within these industries.
