Helium 4.6 in a 5 L refillable steel cylinder by Intergases: shielding gas for TIG and MIG welding of aluminium and copper, tracer gas for leak testing – and still enough for about 190 balloons of 20 cm or 55 of 30 cm. Filled to order for you.
Applications
Pure helium, or mixed with argon, for a hotter arc, faster travel and deeper penetration on aluminium and copper.
Grade 4.6 (≥ 99.996 %)
Helium leak detection on refrigeration, air-conditioning, vacuum and pressure systems: the smallest molecule finds the smallest leak.
With a helium leak detector
Latex and foil balloons float with 4.6 just as with balloon gas – handy when one cylinder serves the workshop and the shop window.
≈ 190 balloons of 20 cm per 0.91 m³
Balloons only? Helium 4.0 costs less. Gas chromatography and analysers? Choose helium 5.0 – same cylinder, same valve.

Helium 4.6 in the workshop
In TIG welding helium raises the arc voltage: more heat goes into the workpiece, so thick aluminium and copper weld faster and with deeper penetration, often with less preheating. Use it pure or blended with argon; because helium is so light, the flow rate is usually set higher than for pure argon.
For leak testing helium is the ideal tracer gas: inert, non-flammable and present in air at only about 5 ppm, so a mass-spectrometer or sniffer leak detector finds even the smallest leak in refrigeration circuits, heat exchangers, vacuum chambers and gas lines. Grade 4.6 (≥ 99.996 %) gives a clean, stable signal at a lower price than 5.0.
