Laboratory And Industrial Ar Shield — one argon shield gas for the bench and the production floor
Laboratory and Industrial Ar Shield gas from REAL GAZ is an argon-based protective atmosphere used wherever a clean, inert envelope is needed around a process, a sample or a weld pool. Argon is dense, chemically unreactive and easy to meter, which is why it forms the base of most shielding blends.
Pure argon and argon blends with small additions of nitrogen, CO₂ or oxygen are available, selected to match the material and the instrument.

REAL GAZ supplies this shield gas in line with EN ISO 14175 for welding and ISO 6142 for prepared mixtures, with analysis traceable under ISO 17025 practice for laboratory and industrial customers.
🏭 Where Argon-Based Shield Gases Are Used
- ⚙️ TIG and MIG welding — argon shielding keeps oxygen and nitrogen away from the molten pool of stainless steel, aluminium and titanium;
- 🔬 ICP and spectroscopy — the plasma torch and nebuliser of ICP-OES instruments need steady, low-moisture argon;
- 🏭 Glove boxes and furnaces — inert argon blankets protect air-sensitive materials during sintering and heat treatment;
- 🚀 Additive manufacturing — powder-bed machines use argon chambers to limit oxidation of metal powders.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
- ✅ One source for two worlds — the same supplier covers workshop welding gas and instrument-grade argon;
- 🧪 Defined purity — grades are stated on the label and verified against the analysis report;
- 🎯 Right blend per metal — argon content and additions are chosen for the alloy and joint type;
- 🔒 Consistent fills — each cylinder is filled to a set pressure and checked before dispatch;
- 📄 Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — supplied with every order.
🔬 Quality Control & Safety
- moisture and oxygen analysis on instrument-grade lots;
- gravimetric preparation of argon blends;
- regulator-ready valve outlets checked for cleanliness;
- leak testing and pressure integrity checks.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
📦 Grades, Cylinders & Handling
- 📌 Grades — pure argon is commonly offered at 99.996% for welding and higher for analytical work;
- 📌 Cylinders — typical sizes run from 10 to 50 litre water capacity at 200 or 300 bar;
- 📌 Storage — keep cylinders upright, secured and away from heat sources;
- 📌 Ventilation — argon displaces oxygen, so use it only in ventilated areas or with oxygen monitoring.
🧭 Choosing the Right Shield
Start with the material. Aluminium and titanium are normally welded in pure argon, because any reactive addition degrades the bead. Carbon steel tolerates active gases, and stainless steel is often welded with argon plus a small oxidising addition. For laboratory work the question is different: how much moisture, oxygen and hydrocarbon can your instrument tolerate? ICP-OES torches and glove boxes usually call for higher-purity grades with tight impurity limits, while a workshop TIG torch performs well on standard welding grade. Tell us the application and we will match the grade, the cylinder size and the regulator type, and explain how to read the analysis report supplied with the cylinder.
