An Introduction To Industrial Gas

The world has been industrialized for a few centuries now. And industrial gases are needed to aid in the countless processes involved in industrialization. These gaseous materials include oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, acetylene, helium, and a host of other gasses and mixtures. Though the industrial gas industry is not one and the same with the gas industry, it does work closely with the oil industry in industrialization. The industrial gases industry supplies equipment and technology used in producing and utilizing all these gases.

Industrial gases are used everywhere and in many varied industries such as oil and gas, steel, medical, power, electronics, military, and aerospace. These gases are also sold to large-scale industrial corporations for various purposes such as construction and manufacturing.

On a smaller scale, some companies engage in the trading of these gases and supply them wholesale. Industrial gases are usually sold in gas cylinders and the equipment that comes along with them. People see gas cylinders everywhere, from medical oxygen tanks to welding gases to beer kegs to balloon helium tanks.

There are also smaller products being sold from the industrial gas industry such as those used for cigarette lighters, camping equipment, and the like.
