Product Description
Argon is the third most abundant of the mixture of gases in the air, the concentration being approximately 0,94% by volume. It is inert, non-toxic, colourless, odourless and tasteless. Supplied in high pressure metal cylinders and manifolded cylinder packs. Higher grades and purities of this product are available in the 'Special Products & Chemicals' section'. The recommended regulator W003610 or W003037
Product Information
The high temperature preparation, refining and fabrication of many materials must be carried out in an argon atmosphere. Argon is used as a shielding gas for GTAW applications and for GMAW of aluminium, in plasma jet torches and for purging applications when an inert atmosphere is required.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
Argon is most commonly used as a shielding gas for arc welding, GTAW applications and for GMAW of aluminium. It is inert, non-toxic, colourless, odourless and tasteless. It can be used in pure form or as part of various mixtures. It is non-corrosive and can be used with any common metal provided the equipment is designed to withstand process pressure.
HAZARDS:
- Compressed high pressure gas in cylinders
- Asphyxiant in high concentrations
