Industrial CO₂ cylinders in India are black with a white band. Read the stencilled gas name before use.
Carbon dioxide gas for welding and beverages
Carbon dioxide, usually just called CO₂ gas, is stored in cylinders as a liquid under pressure and comes out as a gas. It's one of the most widely used gases in small industry: welders use it to shield MIG welds on mild steel, and soda and cool-drink shops use it for the fizz.
Common uses of CO₂ gas
- CO₂ / MIG welding of mild steel in fabrication, gates and grills, truck body and agricultural equipment workshops.
- Soda and beverage carbonation for soda shops, juice centres and small bottling units.
- Industrial uses such as pH control in water treatment and inerting.
- Labs and greenhouses, in smaller quantities.
What we offer
- CO₂ cylinder refilling and exchange
- Cylinders on deposit or rent for new shops and workshops
- Delivery in Kurnool and nearby towns
- Argon and argon + CO₂ mix for welders who want a smoother arc: see argon gas
CO₂ safety
- CO₂ is heavier than air and collects in basements, pits, cellars and cold rooms. In high concentration it causes headaches, dizziness and suffocation. Keep storage areas ventilated.
- Keep CO₂ cylinders upright so liquid does not enter the regulator.
- At high welding flow rates, CO₂ regulators can freeze. Welders commonly use a heated CO₂ regulator for continuous work.
- Don't store cylinders in direct sun or near heat. Pressure rises sharply with temperature.
Questions about CO₂ gas
Do you supply CO₂ for soda shops in Kurnool?
Yes. We supply CO₂ cylinders for soda and beverage shops, with refilling and exchange. Tell us your cylinder size and how many you use per week.
Is CO₂ welding the same as MIG welding?
CO₂ welding is MIG/MAG welding using pure CO₂ as the shielding gas. It is popular for mild steel because CO₂ is economical. An argon + CO₂ mix gives less spatter and a neater finish.
Why does my CO₂ regulator ice up?
When liquid CO₂ turns to gas quickly it cools sharply. Use a heated regulator for continuous welding, and keep the cylinder upright.
