Helium: Your Toronto Industrial-Grade Gas Supply

Helium is used in a wide range of industries, from medical applications to manufacturing and entertainment. Josef Gas provides helium delivery in Toronto and throughout Ontario for businesses and professionals who rely on this unique gas.

Whether you need helium tank sizes for balloon inflation, scientific applications, or industrial uses, we have options for all needs. Our industrial helium cylinders ensure you get the best product for your operations, delivered on time and to your specifications.

Industrial helium gas, despite its relatively low abundance, is indispensable in a variety of high-tech and specialized applications. Its unique properties, such as low density, inertness, and extremely low boiling point, make it irreplaceable in several critical industries. Here’s a look at its key applications:  

• Cryogenics and Superconductivity

• • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Liquid helium is crucial for cooling superconducting magnets in MRI machines. These magnets generate strong magnetic fields essential for producing detailed images of internal organs and tissues.  

• • Superconducting Research

Helium’s extremely low boiling point (4.2 K or -269 °C) makes it the ideal coolant for research involving superconductors, which exhibit zero electrical resistance at very low temperatures. This is vital for advancements in physics and materials science.

• Leak Detection

• • Vacuum Systems

Helium’s small atomic size and inertness make it ideal for detecting leaks in vacuum systems, pipelines, and containers. It readily permeates through small openings, allowing for precise leak localization.  

• • Automotive Industry

Helium is used to test the integrity of air conditioning systems and fuel tanks, ensuring safety and efficiency.  

• Aerospace and Aviation

• • Balloon Inflation

Helium’s low density makes it perfect for inflating weather balloons, research balloons, and airships, providing lift for atmospheric studies and surveillance.  

• • Rocket Propulsion

Helium is used to purge fuel tanks in rocket systems and to pressurize liquid hydrogen and oxygen propellants.  

• Welding and Metal Fabrication

• • Shielding Gas

Helium is used as a shielding gas in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, particularly for welding aluminum, stainless steel, and other non-ferrous metals. It provides a stable arc and prevents oxidation.  

• Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing

• • Semiconductor Production

Helium is used as a carrier gas in the production of semiconductors and optical fibers, ensuring a clean and inert environment for delicate processes.  

• • Cooling Electronic Components

It is used in some applications to cool electronic components, due to its high thermal conductivity.  

• Scientific Research and Development

• • Spectroscopy

Helium is used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, aiding in the analysis of chemical compounds.  

• • Nuclear Research

Helium is used in nuclear reactors as a coolant and in particle accelerators for various experiments.  

• Diving

• • Breathing Gas

Helium is mixed with oxygen (heliox) to create a breathing gas for deep-sea diving, reducing the risk of nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity.
