Uses of oxygen and the oxygen gas bottle

Categories: oxygen gas bottle|

A gas with no smell, colour or taste, many believe ‘oxygen’ is what we breathe, but in fact only about 20% of the atmosphere is comprised of pure oxygen. It is, however, crucial to our survival and also that of all living organisms. It is the most widely-occurring element on earth and is abundant not only in our bodies, but also in water and even the sun, and very useful in the form of an oxygen gas bottle. Uses of oxygen Oxygen is used to make various acids and it is applied to various chemical applications. It destroys bacteria and is useful in treating patients suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. It is used in water treatment and helps in dating fossils, while in industry, oxygen is used in the process of destroying rocks as well as making steel and iron. What to do with your oxygen gas bottle As oxygen reacts with combustible materials and releases heat, an oxygen gas bottle is commonly used for working with metals, such as cutting, welding and melting, and it is widely used by the steel industry. This is because oxygen gas (in conjunction with another heating gas) generates very high temperature flames of up to 3,000 degrees C and is therefore useful for blow torches and in softening metals. Welding with the use of an oxygen gas bottle is one of the oldest forms of fusing metals, and is still used in smaller applications such as those in the home, and for producing artwork involving the shaping of metals. For cutting, oxygen in the gas bottle must be of a high quality to improve the cutting speed and ensure a clean cut. Other uses of oxygen gas bottles Oxygen gas can also be used to produce energy for generators and ships, and it has applications in the operation of planes and automobiles and the production of fabrics and plastics. It is used for space travel, such as in [...]

Cheap helium gas – it’s not just for balloons

Categories: Cheap helium gas|

Everyone knows how much children – and adults, for that matter – love a simple balloon filled with cheap helium gas. For a successful children’s party, it’s not a treat but almost a necessity. But have you ever really thought about what else can be done with cheap helium gas? What you can do with balloons filled with cheap helium gas is limited only by your imagination. Combine colours for beautiful patterns and string them together. Spatter them with gold or silver paint for an exotic look. Cover them with sequins, glitter or confetti – the sky is the limit. Cheap helium gas for up, up and away Did you know that airships like blimps used to be filled with hydrogen rather than helium? But as the Hindenberg disaster tragically demonstrated, non-flammable helium is a much better option for beating the effects of gravity and floating serenely above the ground. But you would need thousands of balloons to lift yourself into the air while sitting in a chair. Other facts about cheap helium gas Did you know that the breathing air used by scuba divers contains helium? It also has medical applications like treatments for breathing ailments and asthma, and can be used by welders in certain situations including high-heat transfer, as it has coolant properties. Helium is also found in rocket fuel, lasers, and is used for the dating of rocks. To own your own helium gas cylinder get in touch with Rent Free Gas today by calling 1300 792 603 or drop us an email at simon@rentfreegas.com.au

3 advantages of having your own helium gas cylinders

Categories: helium gas cylinders|

Helium is one of the most valuable and versatile industrial gases in the world, most commonly used as a shielding gas during the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) process. Helium is considered a strategic resource for military and industrial use by the United States, which stockpiles it at a huge facility in Amarillo, Texas. This mammoth place holds over one billion cubic feet of the gas! Check it out here: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Helium_Reserve. But at Rent Free Gas, we can help you secure your own supply of helium gas without going to such extremes. We have a wide range of helium gas cylinders available for outright purchase so you can make your own stockpile – albeit a little smaller than the Texas reserve! Here's some of the advantages of having your own helium cylinder: 1. Secure supply of helium The usual way to use helium gas cylinders is to order them from a supply company and pay two costs – the rent of the cylinder itself and the helium gas inside that you will use. But by purchasing a helium gas cylinder from Rent Free Gas, you own it outright and only have to pay for the gas you use. This means you never have to wait for a cylinder to become available or get delivered; with helium gas cylinder purchase, it’s already part of your tool kit. 2. Reduced costs When you own your own helium gas cylinder, you never have to pay to rent one ever again. In the long run, your purchase will pay for itself. Best of all, after taking care of your helium gas cylinder purchase, the only cost you will have to cover is the gas itself, and Rent Free Gas supplies competitively priced helium gas to all of its customers. 3. Helium gas cylinders are convenient Whether you’ve got a big professional welding job, you are filling balloons, or you’ve finally secured some time to work on your DIY projects, there’s nothing worse [...]

Why your party store needs to make a helium gas cylinder purchase

Categories: helium gas cylinder purchase|

If you own a party, costume or greeting card store, you’ll no doubt want to make sure your customers’ parties go off with a bang. As well as goods such as banners, gifts, fancy dress costumes and decorations, balloons can help make events extra special and set the right mood for the festivities. And they’re not just for kids – balloons can get the party started no matter the age of the guests! With a helium gas cylinder purchase you can create your own special balloon decorations at any time for your customers. Selling balloons For owners and managers of stores that sell goods related to parties and celebrations, balloons can offer an excellent source of revenue. People buy balloons for all sorts of occasions, whether it’s a friend’s birthday, someone’s buck’s night, a baby’s christening or a major event like the Olympics that happens to be going on. If you currently only sell balloons of the non-helium variety though, you’re missing out. Helium balloons have a higher price point and could stand to make you a lot more money. Plus, customers are attracted to them because they’re usually more eye-catching and interesting than regular balloons. You may have been put off them until now because of the hassle and expense of having to rent helium cylinders, but with the purchase of your own helium gas cylinder, that doesn’t need to be the case. Helium gas cylinder purchase vs rental Many party goods retailers will rent their cylinders and then pay for refills on top of that. But by purchasing a helium gas cylinder, you don’t have to worry about rental fees as you own the cylinder outright and only pay for the refills, lowering your ongoing expenses. Rent Free Gas: for all your helium gas cylinder needs At Rent Free Gas, we stock helium gas cylinders for all your balloon needs. Simply purchase a cylinder from us and we can refill it whenever you need us [...]

5 advantages of using TIG welding gas

Categories: TIG welding gas|

To start, what is TIG welding gas? Well, TIG is short for tungsten inert gas. TIG welding involves using a tungsten electrode to send a current to your welding arc. While the current does its job, the tungsten and the puddle weld are kept safe with the help of an inert gas, which both protects and cools. TIG welding has been around since the 1930s and was used to keep aircraft together during the Second World War. It’s also worth knowing that TIG welding is often called GTAW, which stands for gas tungsten arc welding. So, what are the advantages of this 80-year-old technology? 1. More control The best-known benefit of TIG welding is that, when compared with other methods, it puts a lot more control in the hands of the welder. By moving your foot, you can change amperage and heat levels quickly. So it’s perfect for working on complex, tricky details. 2. Less amperage How is that an advantage? Well, a decreased amperage lets you work more easily on small and thin pieces of metal, which don’t respond very well to high levels of amperage. 3. Work with various metals Being inert, TIG welding gas can be used on a variety of metals. If you’re working with copper or stainless steel, you should go for Argon or a mix with helium, but if it’s titanium you’re dealing with, make pure   argon your choice. And what about aluminium and aluminium alloys? They love a blend of helium and argon. 4. Increased flexibility Working on a project that involves a mix of small and large parts? With TIG welding gas, you can swap between the two without any hassle. It’s one of the most flexible welding techniques. 5. No slag! Let’s face it, cleaning up slag is the least fun part of welding. When you’re using TIG welding gas, there’s no need to worry about that! TIG welding is incredibly clean and doesn’t leave a [...]

A nitrogen cylinder unleashes the power of this fresh and fast gas

Categories: Nitrogen Cylinder|

Nitrogen is one of the most versatile industrial gases on the planet in both its gas and liquid form. It is often stored in a nitrogen cylinder for ease of use. It was first discovered by the Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford in 1772, who called it “noxious air” until the more attractive name nitrogen was introduced. Nitrogen has becoming one of the most successful gases with scores of uses. To celebrate nitrogen’s qualities, let’s explore a few unique ways this gas helps our modern world run smoothly. A nitrogen cylinder keeps food fresh When pressurised into a nitrogen cylinder and mixed with carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas can be used to create a modified atmosphere for the safe storage of foods during transportation. Nitrogen helps preserve foods for a long period of time by stopping the growth of harmful bacteria and delaying the natural breakdown of foodstuffs. The use of nitrogen cylinders are the reason why you can eat apples from the United States in Sydney, or fresh tomatoes from Italy in Melbourne. A nitrogen cylinder keeps planes flying and cars racing Inflating your tyres with air is a common thing to do. But for the best results, you can use nitrogen gas. A nitrogen cylinder can be used to inflate both aircraft and racing car tyres because the gas is free from moisture, unlike oxygen, and has a more consistent rate of expansion and contraction. This increases safety and reliability, and pushes the performance envelope. By using nitrogen gas, you can get a smoother ride and longer life from your tyres. Get a nitrogen cylinder from Rent Free Gas At Rent Free Gas, we love nitrogen. It helps make stainless steel, pressurises the lines for pubs pulling perfect pints, helps create transistors and diodes for the electronics industry and assists laser cutting. There’s an extraordinary range of uses for this highly versatile gas – and that’s why we offer nitrogen cylinders at the best prices so [...]

Beer gas cylinders for perfect drinks

Categories: beer gas cylinders|

Whether you own a pub or brew your own beer and serve it in a backyard bar, there’s something satisfying about pulling perfect pints. The secret to a great tasting beer is more than just how it’s brewed. Without sure and steady pressure from top quality beer gas cylinders with the right gas mix, those beers could drip out of the tap, flat and uninspiring. For years, pubs and clubs and home brewing enthusiasts around Australia have relied on beer gas cylinders and their suppliers to keep their beers at a good pressure. But it comes at a premium cost, requiring the rent of the beer gas cylinder itself and payment for the gas inside. Now thanks to rent free beer gas cylinder suppliers like Rent Free Gas, more and more beverages are being poured from gas tanks 100% owned by proprietors and homeowners. This has three huge advantages: 1. No more waiting on the “milk run” with beer gas cylinders Pubs and clubs and people with home bars who rent beer gas cylinders often have to wait for a scheduled “milk run” from their supplier to get them refilled. This can cause a lot of problems, especially when the bar is heaving or some thirsty friends are waiting for a cooling drink or two in the backyard. But with rent free beer gas cylinder suppliers like Rent Free Gas, refills are done whenever they are needed without having to wait. This means the beer taps are always charged and ready to go. 2. Rent free beer gas cylinder suppliers mean cheaper beer in the long run Beer is usually pumped out using a mixture of CO2 and nitrogen, and varies depending on the temperature you want the beer to be. CO2 gas cylinder suppliers often charge big premiums to use their equipment and refill the beer gas cylinders with the desired mixture. But with rent free beer gas cylinder suppliers, you can get a competitive [...]

Argon gas cylinders

Categories: Argon gas cylinders|

Argon is a gas that has no colour, odour or taste. But that doesn’t stop it from getting lots of attention. Argon is known as one of the seven noble gases and is highly prized for its properties as a chemically inert substance. When placed in argon gas cylinders, the non-flammable and non-toxic powers of this noble gas are concentrated in an easy to use way. This improves work quality and increases safety levels. High quality guaranteed with an argon gas cylinders The main industrial application for argon gas is as a shielding agent during welding and other high-temperature processes. The most common argon welding processes are tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and metal inert gas (MIG) welding. These are typically used for both aluminium and steel welding applications. Both of these processes use consumable and non-consumable electrodes to produce the weld. They usually require an argon gas cylinder to supply gas to protect the process. Because it can’t catch fire and ignite and won’t produce toxic fumes, argon stops atmospheric gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and even water vapour from interfering with the weld. If any of these atmospheric gases come into contact with the weld, they can degrade its quality and even increase the time it takes to complete the work. Rent Free Gas: argon gas cylinders specialists Owning your own argon gas cylinder outright instead of paying to rent it is now possible thanks to Rent Free Gas. We stock a wide range of argon gas cylinders, from small D sized cylinders through to large G sized units for the big jobs. An argon gas cylinder is just the beginning though. We also provide specialised gas mixes, including Mix 5/2 – an argon/ CO2/oxygen mix perfectly suited for MIG welding. Whatever job you need to tackle with an argon gas cylinder, we can help you achieve the right mix and secure the best equipment Own an argon gas cylinders with Rent Free Gas At [...]
