Popular gases for industrial and commercial machinery

Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the industrial and commercial machinery industry.

O₂

Oxygen

Used in oxy-fuel cutting, welding, and brazing to achieve high temperatures necessary for working with metals. It enhances combustion in cutting torches and welding applications.

C₂H₂

Acetylene

Commonly paired with oxygen in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting, welding, and brazing metals due to its high flame temperature.

Ar

Argon

Employed as a shielding gas in welding processes such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.

CO₂

Carbon Dioxide

Used as a shielding gas in MIG welding, either alone or mixed with argon, to prevent oxidation and contamination of the weld pool.

N₂

Nitrogen

Utilized for purging and pressurizing systems, preventing oxidation, and in certain cutting and machining operations to enhance tool life and performance.

He

Helium

Used as a shielding gas, often in combination with argon, for welding applications, particularly for non-ferrous metals and when deep penetration welds are required.

C₃H₈

Propane

Utilized as a fuel for heating, cutting, soldering, and brazing operations. It is also used in portable heaters to provide warmth in industrial settings.

H₂

Hydrogen

Used in high-temperature brazing and in some cutting applications. Hydrogen is also employed in annealing processes to create a reducing atmosphere that prevents oxidation of metals.

NH₃

Ammonia

Employed in refrigeration systems for large industrial and commercial cooling applications due to its high efficiency and effectiveness as a refrigerant.

CO

Carbon Monoxide

Used in certain metal processing applications, such as in the production of metal carbonyls for metal coating and refining processes.

Industrial and commercial machinery FAQs

Learn more about the Industrial and Commercial Machinery gases and services we offer.

What are the most popular gases used in industrial and commercial machinery?

Industrial and commercial machinery industries use oxygen and acetylene for welding and cutting operations, and compressed air to power pneumatic tools and machinery.

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 by companies in the industrial and commercial machinery industry?

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 machinery gases in bulk?

We offer cost-effective bulk gas solutions including oxygen, acetylene, and compressed air for the industrial and commercial machinery industry. 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 oxygen, acetylene, or compressed air?

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