Applications
Helium is often used as a Shielding Gas in Welding, for its inert properties such as providing ideal arc temperatures for welding materials with high-heat conductivity.
In heat-treating processes, during manufacturing or metal fabrication, Helium is added to furnace atmospheres to produce stronger, more durable parts.
Helium at cryogenic temperatures is essential for operating MRI and NMR machinery.
Helium is required for determining sample content and characteristics as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.
In retail, Helium is used to give balloons a lift.
Safety
Always use in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Cylinder must be stored and used in an upright, secured position in a well-ventilated or monitored area.
