LIFTING EXPECTATIONS
WestAir proudly supports California’s aircraft manufacturing industry with high-purity gases and exceptional service. We offer aircraft manufacturing operations a wide-range of package types for gases like Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen, Helium, Acetylene and Propane – let us help you create the safest environments for greater production and 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 aircraft industry.
Used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding for manufacturing and repairing aircraft components. Oxygen is also crucial for onboard breathing systems in aircraft cabins and for pilots.
Used for inflating aircraft tires and landing gear struts due to its inert properties, which reduce the risk of fire and explosion. Nitrogen is also used in blanketing fuel tanks to prevent ignition and in purging hydraulic systems.
Employed as a shielding gas in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination, ensuring high-quality welds on critical aircraft components.
Used in leak detection systems to ensure the integrity of fuel systems, hydraulic lines, and other critical components. Helium is also employed in high-altitude research and in some breathing mixtures for pilots.
Utilized in specialized welding and brazing processes, particularly for joining high-strength and lightweight materials. Hydrogen is also being explored as a fuel for next-generation, eco-friendly aircraft.
Used in fire suppression systems in aircraft to quickly extinguish fires without damaging sensitive equipment. CO2 is also employed in certain composite manufacturing processes.
Paired with oxygen in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting and welding metals during aircraft construction and repair.
Used in high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps for aircraft lighting systems, providing bright and efficient illumination.
Used as an insulating gas in some high-voltage electrical equipment and in leak detection applications due to its excellent dielectric properties.

In the aircraft industry, oxygen is used for welding and breathing systems, while nitrogen is used to inert fuel tanks and hydraulic systems.
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.
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.
We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including oxygen and nitrogen for the aircraft industry. Your products will be safely delivered by our modern fleet of fuel-efficient trucks, equipped for cylinder and bulk gas delivery.
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.
