Two supply paths

The state determines the logistics.

Gaseous argon is reviewed for cylinders, 12 or 16 cylinder bundles, or 64 × 50 L quads, with 150, 200 or 300 bar working pressure selected against the package.

Liquid argon is reviewed for bulk transport in a cryogenic ISO tank container. Tank suitability, usable quantity, route, receiving infrastructure and handover method must be confirmed for each project.

Quality starting points

Typical product specification

Argon Grade 5.0

≥99.999%

High-purity industrial and technical applications.

Argon Grade 6.0

≥99.9999%

Applications requiring tighter total impurity control.

Argon Grade 7.0

≥99.99999%

Ultra-high-purity supply subject to full specification review.

Quality boundary. Grade describes a purity starting point, not the complete impurity profile. Final product quality is defined only by the agreed specification and the Certificate of Analysis for the specific batch. Compressed and refrigerated liquid argon use separate entries in the Safety Data Sheet register. Review our quality documentation approach and available packaging formats.

For a useful quotation

Define the argon requirement.

Select gaseous or liquid supply first. The RFQ will then show only compatible packaging fields. Use the argon gas and liquid RFQ guide to prepare ownership, receiving and return details.

Commercial planning

Package ownership changes the delivery cycle.

Customer-owned cylinders or tanks require current technical records and filling acceptance. Supplier-owned packages require an agreed unloading period, return location and responsibility for empty return. For liquid argon, usable quantity, pressure, transfer interface and site readiness must be confirmed together.

Argon procurement FAQ

Choose the state before the equipment.

Quality, quantity, receiving infrastructure and ownership determine the practical supply path.

How do gaseous and liquid argon enquiries differ?

Gaseous argon is reviewed in cylinders, bundles or quads. Liquid argon is reviewed in a cryogenic ISO tank and requires compatible unloading infrastructure, connections and a complete tank-return plan.

Which gaseous argon pressures can be reviewed?

Packaged enquiries can be reviewed at 150, 200 or 300 bar where the selected cylinder, bundle or quad and receiving equipment are compatible.

Does an argon grade define every impurity limit?

No. Grade 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0 states a minimum purity starting point. Individual impurity limits, methods and batch acceptance must be defined in the agreed specification and Certificate of Analysis.

What is needed for a liquid argon ISO tank request?

Provide required quantity, tank ownership and certificates, pressure and connection data, receiving infrastructure, destination, unloading time, return point and responsibility for empty return.
