BUILDING TRUST
WestAir proudly supports California’s metal fabrication with high-purity gases and exceptional service. We offer metal fabrication 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 metal fabrication.
Used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding. It supports combustion to achieve high temperatures necessary for cutting and welding metals.
Commonly used with oxygen in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting, welding, and brazing due to its high flame temperature.
Used as a shielding gas in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Often used in MIG welding as a shielding gas, either alone or mixed with argon, to protect the weld pool from oxidation and contamination.
Used for purging and blanketing to prevent oxidation, in plasma cutting, and sometimes in laser cutting to assist with the cutting process and reduce oxidation.
Employed as a shielding gas, often in combination with argon, for welding non-ferrous metals and for deep penetration welds.
Utilized as a fuel for cutting and heating metals. It is also used in soldering and brazing operations.
Sometimes used in welding as a reducing atmosphere for certain applications, such as stainless steel welding, to prevent oxidation.

Metal fabrication relies on oxygen and acetylene for welding and cutting metals, and argon is commonly used in TIG welding.
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 bulk oxygen, acetylene, and argon for metal fabrication companies. 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.
Yes. Our dedicated account management and 24/7 emergency service is there to make a bad day better.
