Thread: welding gas bottles

Hi,

Anderson Stainless at Tuggerah Anderson Stainless : Your complete Stainless Steel Stockist have straight argon for $70 E Size and $175 per annum for cylinder via Air Liquide. There is also a Speedgas outlet at Gateshead 0431 039 375 where you can buy and keep rather than rent. Refills cost a bit more but you save if only filling a couple of times a year.

Regards

Do yourself a favour and get in touch with speedgas. They have an outlet in gateshead. Basically you pay a fee upfront and then there is no rental fees, you just ring up a few days before you need a new bottle and go in there and swap it over. it does cost more to refill than through boc etc. I have an e size which i think is about 400 upfront which also includes the full bottle of gas then every refil is just over $100 (maybe 130?). so for me who had an account with boc and went through 2 e sized bottles of gas in about 6 years it will definatly work out cheaper through speed gas. Bonus is you forget about how much you paid upfront after a few weeks and just enjoy not having to pay rental fees.

I use Speedgas and think it's great.

At least SWMBO can't complain about the annual rental.

That in itself is enough to go with Speedgas!

Is 100% Aragon ok to weld mild steel with or do you need a mix?

do you know what a d size bottle cost ? speed gas seems the one i will be going with. boc is just to dear for me im only going to go through maybe 2 d size bottles a year and renting is crazy.will only be making go kart frames and little project around the home.

can't remember the cost but it was only a little less than an e size but d has something like 1.5m3 of gas and e size is 4m3. I think Peter put up the number of speedgas furthur up. Give them a call (I think the guys name is Martin) and they are very helpful.

Cheers

Hi Brendon
Below is a reply to an enquiry i made to speedgas.


The price of an E size (4.0m3) cylinder is $285 the price of the gas is $133. So initially it would be $418. You would then own the cylinder and only pay for the gas as needed.

We don’t supply Argon in F size at the moment

The price maybe a bit different in Newcastle

Call a different Martin on 0431 039 375, he can help you further, he looks after that area.

Thanks

just went and bought a disposable gas bottle at gas weld for $25 and welding with solid wire is a lot easier then glassless what you see is the finale weld. will be calling speedgas on Monday to get the gas from them. They are the cheapest so far iv seen anywhere.

Hi, just bought G size bottle including gas with speed gas for $500. Next day delivery and very prompt service.

thanks for the help guys just got a d size bottle for $302 from speedgas and was told if i want to upgrade to a e size it would only cost $60 then the refill of $150 or so.

Good to hear, I have found them very easy going and great to deal with when changing over bottles etc.
