Popular gases for education

Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the education sector.

N₂

Nitrogen

Used in various educational laboratories for preserving biological samples, creating inert atmospheres, and in cryogenics for cooling and freezing applications. Liquid nitrogen is also used for demonstrations in physics and chemistry classes.

O₂

Oxygen

Employed in biology and chemistry experiments that involve combustion, respiration, and oxidation processes. Oxygen is also used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting demonstrations in technical education.

CO₂

Carbon Dioxide

Utilized in biology experiments involving photosynthesis and respiration, as well as in chemistry for acid-base reactions. CO2 is also used in dry ice form for demonstrations and experiments requiring sublimation or cooling effects.

He

Helium

Used in physics experiments to demonstrate properties of gases, buoyancy, and in cryogenics. Helium is also used to fill balloons for various educational and celebratory purposes.

Ar

Argon

Employed in welding courses for shielding during gas tungsten arc welding (TIG welding) and gas metal arc welding (MIG welding). Argon is also used in chemistry experiments involving inert atmospheres.

H₂

Hydrogen

Used in chemistry experiments involving combustion and reactions, and for demonstrating properties of gases. Hydrogen is also used in fuel cell demonstrations and alternative energy education.

C₂H₂

Acetylene

Used in oxy-acetylene welding and cutting demonstrations in technical and vocational education settings. Acetylene is also used in some chemistry experiments involving combustion.

C₃H₈

Propane

Employed in heating applications, soldering, and brazing demonstrations in technical education. Propane torches are commonly used in workshops and laboratories.

SF₆

Sulfur Hexafluoride

Occasionally used in physics experiments to demonstrate properties of gases and for electrical insulation demonstrations.

N₂O

Nitrous Oxide

Used in some chemistry and biology experiments involving anesthetic properties and reactions.

Education gas FAQs

Learn more about the education gases and services we offer.

Can I track my gas levels?

Yes. We offer real-time monitoring for most of our gas applications to make sure you never run out. Our solution provides you (and us) with accurate updates on your levels so we can optimize your gas delivery, detect leaks and other issues – saving you money while supporting our sustainability commitments.

Do you offer same-day delivery for gases used in education?

Yes. We make true same-day deliveries with no qualifications. If you call at 4:55 pm and you need a same-day delivery, we will deliver that day.

Is it possible to order my education gases in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.

Can I track my gas cylinders balance?

Yes. WestAir barcodes each cylinder and will scan each cylinder when it enters and leaves your location. This eliminates the need for you to perform time-consuming and error-prone inventory tracking. This process also guarantees accurate monthly billing statements.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service if I run out of gas?

Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
