GENERAL SAFETY
ARGON AND OXYGEN CYLINDERS
Do not leave cylinders near a heat source or direct sunlight.
Ensure that cylinders are well secured during transport.
If transporting inside a vehicle, ensure that the cylinder is secure and the valve is closed.
Allow ventilation inside vehicle.
Do not smoke or have an ignition source near your oxygen cylinder.
Always have the valve cap on when cylinder is not in use.
Secure the cylinder when in use to avoid it falling over.
Oxygen is dangerous in high concentrations - use in well ventilated area.
Argon in high quantities can replace oxygen and asphyxiation could occur - use in well ventilated area.

ARGOWELD 52

SUPPLIED FULL, READY TO USE
Available sizes:  D, E
 
Used in the welding industry. Argon/CO2/O2 mix provides arc stability, puddle control and also reduces spatter compared to pure CO2. For many the weld quality and reduced clean up makes this the shield gas of choice.

OXYGEN

SUPPLIED FULL, READY TO USE
Available sizes:  D, E

The main industrial application for oxygen is combustion efficiency. When combined with a fuel gas it will produce a higher flame temperature.

It is used in conjunction with acetylene and LPG for brazing, glass blowing and cutting. Also used with acetylene only for welding.
