Argon
Argon is generally used when TIG welding stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminium – it can also be used on a MIG welder for aluminium and alloys in conjunction with the correct MIG wire. For more suitable MIG gases.
Argon is typically suitable for most TIG welding applications providing a capability of welding at any depth.
The repair of alloy wheels, farming equipment, vehicle body panels, model work and metals used for model aircraft are among many of Argon’s popular uses.

Oxygen
Oxygen is commonly and traditionally used with a fuel gas (acetylene, propane or propylene) for cutting, welding, brazing and soldering.
This supports the combustion of these gases and enables a much higher flame temperature to be achieved in comparison with air.
Our oxygen cylinders are filled from a bulk tank which ensures optimum purity, a 1% reduction in purity can increase consumption of oxygen by 20% or more, so you can see the benefits of a professionally filled gas bottle.
Gas Price £43.00
Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a popular purging gas bought by refrigeration engineers and vehicle air conditioning firms.
Just like carbon dioxide, nitrogen has a number of uses. Nitrogen is used frequently to provide balloon drops as an alternative to compressed air as well as the to replace the air inside of a lightbulb.
It has gained popularity in recent years from amateur racing clubs for inflating tyres and is often supplied when you’re getting your tyres changed on your car. Our rent free gas cylinder is compact, lightweight and is perfect for on-site work.
