Helium

Helium is an extremely versatile gas due to its favourable physical and chemical properties, such as low density, small atom radius, high thermal conductivity and low boiling point.

The wide variety of applications and its excellent safety and environment compatibility have made helium an essential product As a leading supplier of helium. We able to offer a wide variety of solutions in the helium market . We can supply helium in a full range of purities and mixtures, in any quantity you require and as either a compressed, liquefied or bulk gas.

Helium can be used for a multitude of applications, as a“light gas” that can lift balloons and airships, as a detector gas to detect the smallest of leaks in pipelines and tanks, as an important component in shielding gases for welding, as a carrier gas in residue analysis, in the manufacture of optical glass fibres or as a coolant in space technology and medicine.

Common Uses of Helium
  • Helium is used to cool superconducting magnets in MRI scanners.
  • As helium is lighter than air, airships and balloons can be filled with the gas to gain lift.
  • Helium is used to condense hydrogen and oxygen to make rocket fuel.
  • Helium can be added to oxygen tanks so that divers can breath more easily. This is especially important for people that go deep diving (over 450 ft below sea level).
  • Used in helium-neon lasers. These lasers can be used to read barcodes.
  • Helium can be used to detect leaks in high-vacuum and high-pressure equipment.
  • For materials easily contaminated by air, helium is used as a shielding gas in the arc welding process.
  • Helium is used as a protective gas when growing silicon and germanium crystals and when producing titanium and zirconium. It is a fantastic protective gas as it is inert (unreactive).
  • The age of rocks which contain uranium and thorium can be estimated using helium dating.
  • Helium is often used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.
  • Helium can be used to detect leaks (small fractures) in some vessels.
