Let us help you create the safest environments for greater production and misision efficiency.
We are proud to offer standard next day delivery, same-day delivery, and available 24/7 monitoring.
From the first walkthrough to delivery and beyond, our team is always ready to serve.
Our gas experts walk through your setup to build systems that prioritize safety and efficiency.
No matter the volume or type of gas, our state-of-the-art labs and highly-skilled production teams deliver.
Our drivers consistently perform in high-pressure environments and champion things such as customer care, road, and onsite safety.
Stop paying rent on cylinders that aren’t in your possession. And enjoy sustainable service with less deliveries thanks to telemetry’s mobile alerts, real-time measurements, and usage trends.
The days of chasing invoices and updating billing info are gone — access your account and re-order with confidence (and ease).
With WestAir cylinder tracking only pay for the cylinders that you are using. Never overpay for storing empty unused cylinders ever again.
Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the defense industry.
Used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding processes for manufacturing and repairing military equipment. Oxygen is also crucial in life support systems for submarines, aircraft, and spacecraft.
Utilized for purging and pressurizing fuel tanks and systems to prevent explosions and fires. Nitrogen is also used for inerting environments, in tire inflation for military vehicles, and in cryogenic cooling systems.
Employed as a shielding gas in welding applications, particularly TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, to protect welds from atmospheric contamination. Argon is also used in some advanced weapon systems and for inerting purposes.
Used in leak detection for fuel tanks and pressurized systems, cooling infrared detectors and other sensors, and as a lifting gas in surveillance balloons and airships. Helium is also utilized in some cryogenic cooling applications.
Used in fuel cells for portable power systems and as a potential fuel for certain types of military vehicles and submarines. Hydrogen is also employed in some high-temperature welding and cutting processes.
Used in fire suppression systems for protecting sensitive equipment and facilities. CO2 is also employed in some training munitions and for creating smoke screens.
Used in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting torches for manufacturing, maintenance, and repair of military hardware.
Utilized as a fuel for certain types of military vehicles and in energy generation systems on military bases.
Used as an insulating gas in high-voltage electrical equipment and in radar systems to prevent electrical discharge and arcing.
Used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and in some cutting and welding applications.
Employed in refrigeration systems, particularly in large-scale cooling applications for military installations.
