Helium is an inert, tasteless, odorless, colorless, nonflammable, and non-toxic gas. It is the second lightest element in nature after Hydrogen. In the atmosphere, Helium is present in a very low concentration of 5.2 parts per million (PPM) by volume. It has a boiling point of -268.9°C (-452.0°F).

 

Helium is extracted from the Earth's crust during the drilling process for natural gases or oils. It is mixed with other gases and comes out of the Earth's crust. Pure Helium is separated and converted into liquid Helium using fractional distillation. This liquid Helium is then converted back into Helium gas, which is stored and supplied in Helium gas cylinders for various industrial and laboratory applications. In cases where a continuous and high quantity of Helium gas is required, Helium gas cylinder quads can be used, which consist of interconnected cylinders with a common outlet.

 

Helium gas is available in different purity grades and concentrations to meet the specific requirements of diverse industries. Due to its non-reactivity with materials under any condition, Helium gas is commonly used as a shielding gas in welding processes, especially for materials with high heat conductivity like Copper and Aluminum. It is also utilized as a leak detector gas for pressure vessels that require high leak-proofing. Helium gas is widely used to fill balloons or other equipment that needs to float in the air or atmosphere. In addition, it serves as a carrier gas in gas mixing and calibration applications and finds application in gas chromatography as a carrier gas.

 

With its diverse applications in various industries, Helium gas plays a crucial role in welding, leak detection, lifting, breathing air mixtures, and gas chromatography. Our company's expertise and in-house laboratory equipment ensure the supply of high-purity Helium gas to meet the specific needs of your customers.
