Tig welding gas
DorsetStrider - 22/7/08 at 02:36 PM

Hiya all,

I've found a company that will sell me a pure argon gas cylinder for tig welding, actually they would sell me two different sizes. So I have three questions.

1) How big is a 10 litre 200bar cylinder? How long would this last?

2) Would a 50 litre cylinder be a better option bearing mind it'd be twice the price and more than I was expecting to pay?

3) does anyone know where in Dorset/west hampshire I could get in refilled?

im down in salisbury where there are two boc agents aep in alderbury and anvil tools near waitrose on the bypass both of those keep bottles in stock so you can chose your size bear in mind the tall ones are very difficult to handle and if you drop them and the top comes off your really in the sxxt saw one go through three double course walls and dissapear off up the road

Ive recently seen a professional safety notice, reporting on an incident in the states where a 6' cylinder did the very same, but on a roof of a building. The trajectory was like an artillery shell but fortunately, noone was injured or killed.
