A Full Spectrum of Welding Gases in DFW

Welders and fabricators can turn to us for the gases they need. We offer welding and cutting gases and can help you find solutions that maximize quality and optimize your spending. 

Protect the weld area from atmospheric gases with our selection of shielding gases. We offer pure gases and other gases often used in shielding gas mixtures, including:

  • Argon

  • Helium

  • Carbon dioxide

  • Oxygen

Access pure argon for good arc stability and penetration. Argon mixed with helium can create a hotter arc and faster travel speeds, enabling you to work on thicker materials. When combined with argon, carbon dioxide is often used in metal inert gas (MIG) welding applications. Small additions of oxygen to argon mixtures can improve arc stability and puddle fluidity, making this mixture ideal for spray transfer welding. 

In addition to shielding gases, we also offer fuel gases that burn with oxygen to produce high-temperature flames. Complete welding, cutting, brazing and soldering tasks with these gases. Acetylene is the most common option and burns the hottest. You can also get propane from us, which has a lower flame temperature but is more economical for certain applications. 

High-Purity Spec Gases in DFW for Demanding Applications

Outside of the welding industry, we also offer high-purity spec gases for specialized applications ranging from labs and research to high-tech manufacturing. These gases meet the specific compliance and purity standards required by your applications. Some of the specialty gases we offer include:

  • Pure gases

  • Volatile organic compound (VOC) mixtures

  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protocol gases

  • Hydrocarbon gases

Food and Bev Gases in DFW for Quality Assurance

Food processors, breweries and restaurants can also turn to us for food-grade gases used in various applications. We can supply carbon dioxide for beverage dispensing to create the taste and fizz that consumers expect. Other food and beverage gases we supply include nitrogen, which helps preserve freshness and flavor in packaged goods. 

Medical, Retail and Other Gas Solutions

Our capabilities extend to many industries that rely on gases. 

We can supply medical-grade gases needed for healthcare facilities. Ultra-high purity oxygen can provide respiratory support and help treat hypoxemia and hypoxia. In the medical industry, you may also need a supply of liquid nitrogen to power medical devices or preserve specimens. We can supply liquid nitrogen, as well as nitrous oxide, helium and other gases used in your industry. 

We can supply balloon-grade helium for use in retail applications. Delivery to your location means you’ll have the cylinders you need to fill balloons for party supply stores, event companies and more. This helium can also be used for other applications, such as leak detection.
