Helium
Helium, a chemically inert gas, plays a critical role in a wide array of industries and applications, including MRI scanners, semiconductors, fiber optic cables, scientific research, airbag manufacturing, leak detection and heat/surface treatment and others. Energas supplies this pure specialty gas in many quantities, depending on your needs.
Key Applications
Helium as an inert shielding gas for welding
Helium is often used as an inert shielding gas in arc welding. It is used both as a pure gas and in mixtures with argon for TIG and MIG welding. In some arc welding applications, helium works better as a shielding gas compared to argon, because helium produces more heat in the arc at the same amperage and arc length. This provides a deeper penetration which is preferable when welding thicker materials that require a faster welding speed or when welding metals with high thermal conductivity.
Laboratories & Research Centres
Helium is the most commonly used carrier gas in gas chromatography. It is also used as cooling fluid for the MRI, NMR or EPR magnets under liquid state at -452.2 °F (-269 °C,4.15 K). It is used for leakage detection applications including in the HVAC R Market. Helium is used in science to cool down material below 4.2K mainly for superconductivity applications like particle accelerator, spallation source, light source, nuclear fusion, or quantum research and quantum computing.
Balloon Inflating
Helium is used to inflate balloons and in mixtures for leisure diving.
