Key Applications

Helium as an inert shielding gas for welding

Les différentes positions de soudage

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 welding gas 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.

Helium gas for Laboratories & Research Centres

ricerca e analisi

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.

Helium gas for Balloon Inflating

Ballons

Helium gas is used to inflate balloons and used in mixtures for leisure diving. We can supply Helihi Helium Balloon gas bottle and cylinders through Air Liquide and the Air Liquide UK distribution network. From single 10L helium balloon gas cylinders for single small scale events to manifolded multi-cylinder packs for ‘advertising’ blimps ‘Para Bounce’ rides and Airships. We have the Helium balloon gas solution for every occasion.
 

Helium gas for Electronic components

Gazy dla elektroniki

Helium is used as a carrier gas or push gas to convey deposition precursors to the reaction chamber. Helium is used in gas mixes used for purging different lenses.

Helium gas for Hospital Care

Gazy medyczne

Helium gas is used by inhalation for respiratory diseases, or locally for cryoablation. It is also a component of inhaled gaseous mixtures for pulmonary function test.
