Our 55 cubic foot steel cylinder Gas Bottle has a rating of DOT 3A 2015, which means it has a working pressure of 2015 psi and can take a 5% overfill. The bottles have a CGA-580 valve which will allow you to fill the cylinder with Argon/CO2 mixes or nitrogen. These gases are commonly used for MIG and TIG welding.
Perfect for MIG welders. These bottles will give you between 3 to 4 hours of welding time. The bottles measure approximately 27" from the base to the top of the valve, and are 6½" in diameter and weigh approximately 30 lbs.
We strongly recommend that you check with your local gas distributor to make sure they will fill the bottle. Gas Distributors many times won't fill bottles you own or didn't come from them. Let them know you have a 55 cu ft cylinder, that is rated 3A 2015, and is valved CGA-580 for Argon or Argon/CO2 mixtures and they can let you know if they will fill it or not.
The bottles are shipped empty. If you are local in the Chicago area, you can pick the bottle up at our Arlington Heights facility, and save the shipping. If you would like the bottle filled with a 75% Argon/25% CO2, we can do it for you on the spot for $18.50 or 100% Argon for $27.00. And if you have another small cylinder that you already own and want filled we can do that too.
