Technical Helium for laboratories — economical 4.6 grade for everyday lab work
Technical helium for laboratories from REAL GAZ offers 99.996% pure gas for applications where ultra-trace purity is not required but dependability still counts. It is a cost-conscious choice for teaching, general testing and equipment services.
Technical grade is dried and filtered, and it is a sensible option wherever detectors are not working at trace levels.

REAL GAZ supplies this product according to ISO 14175, EN 1964 and related standards, suitable for laboratory and teaching use.
Most teaching laboratories, quality departments and workshop calibration rooms do not need 6.0 helium. In those cases, 4.6 grade cylinders of 10 or 20 litres cut costs without sacrificing safety. We always recommend asking your instrument manufacturer for the minimum gas specification before ordering, and fitting a hydrocarbon trap if sensitive detectors are used.
Choosing a grade is easier with a short checklist. Ask which detector or process consumes the gas, what impurity limit the method states, and how much contamination the tubing might add. If the method allows 4.6, paying for 6.0 gives no benefit; if it requires 5.0, a lower grade risks failed tests. Our advisers will read your method sheet and suggest the grade that satisfies it without waste.
🏭 Where Technical Helium Is Used
- ⚙️ Physics teaching — demonstrations of gas properties, speed of sound and spectral tubes use inexpensive helium;
- 🔬 Pressure and leak checks — maintenance teams use helium to test vacuum pumps and sealed enclosures;
- 🏥 Optical spectroscopy support — helium purges and shields certain optical paths in older instruments;
- 🚀 Equipment testing — cleanroom cabinets and desiccators are leak-checked with a helium sniffer.
💡 Why Choose REAL GAZ
