CASTING UNDOUBTABLE SERVICE
WestAir proudly supports California’s foundries with high-purity gases and exceptional service. We offer modern foundry 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 foundries, smelting and refining.
Used extensively in the smelting process to enhance combustion and increase the temperature of furnaces. Oxygen is also used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding for maintenance and repair of equipment.
Commonly used in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting and welding metals during maintenance and repairs. It provides a high-temperature flame ideal for these tasks.
Utilized for purging and blanketing to prevent oxidation and contamination of molten metals. Nitrogen is also used to inert storage tanks and pipelines.
Employed as a shielding gas in welding processes (TIG and MIG welding) to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. Argon is also used in some refining processes to remove impurities from metals.
Used in some casting processes to harden molds and cores. It is also employed in shielding gases for welding, often in combination with argon.
Utilized as a fuel for melting metals in furnaces and for heating applications. Propane torches are also used in various maintenance tasks.
Sometimes used in annealing and heat-treating processes to create reducing atmospheres that prevent oxidation of metals. It is also used in certain refining processes to remove impurities.

Metal foundries, smelting, and refining industries primarily use oxygen for smelting and refining processes, and argon to shield molten metals from oxidation during arc 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 and argon. 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.
