The Multiple Uses of Portable Gas Bottles

Gas bottles are one of the most widely used products in the world and they have changed the way that we used various types of gas. Outside of the UK, people tend to use LPG gas bottles to use in cooking as opposed to connecting the oven to a gas tap, we use helium gas canisters for parties and entertainment purposes, and so on.

However, the popularity of portable gas bottles is increasing every year, so it is important to know where these bottles are being used, as it will help the public know what types of bottles are being used more frequently.

 

Gas Bottles for Entertainment

One of the most popular uses for portable gas bottles is to use them for entertainment purposes. A well-known example of this would be when helium portable gas bottles are used at parties, whether that be children’s parties or business parties.

Having portable helium gas bottles means that you can move them around easily, as opposed to having it in one specific spot. Another benefit of having portable bottles is that they are a lot less heavy than standard gas bottles, meaning that transporting them is so much easier!

Gas Bottles for Domestic Use

When it comes to the domestic household, gas bottles are one of the most widely used items in the world. For countries that don’t rely on built-in gas taps, gas bottles provide sufficient LPG gas that can be used to cook with, as well as heating up the water supply for the boiler.

However, it wouldn’t be a common site to see portable gas bottles within a kitchen or utility environment, as it wouldn’t be beneficial to move your gas bottle around if it just needs to be fixed in the kitchen or where the boiler is.

However, if you enjoy a spot of camping or you like to go on a canal boat for your holiday adventures, then having a portable gas bottle would be very beneficial. Caravans and canal boats can be relatively heavy anyway, so adding any more unnecessary weight with a standard gas bottle will mean you have to use more fuel on your holiday journey.

Portable gas bottles are great to carry with you whilst travelling because they are incredibly lightweight compared to their standard gas bottle counterparts. They can also be refilled relatively easily and they are supplied by hundreds of gas suppliers around the UK, meaning that if you need to replace your old one, then you can get one easily.

Another use of portable gas bottles is outside of your home in the form of barbeques. Barbeques are incredibly popular during the spring, summer, and autumn months, as it provides a great way to socialise with your family and friends. As such, you need a gas supply to operate your barbeque, unless you prefer to use coal blocks and fire starters.

If your barbeque operates via a gas bottle, a portable one would be great to have, as again they are lightweight and they can be easily moved around when you need to move your barbeque to a different location.

Gas Bottles in the Industry Sector

Other than for domestic and entertainment purposes, portable gas bottles are also used frequently within various industries; particularly in warehousing and manufacturing.

In warehousing, portable gas bottles are used to operate certain types of machinery, typically forklift trucks. The type of gas that is used is known as autogas, or forklift gas, and it traditionally contains LPG or a variation of it, as it is relatively cheap and it can be used on multiple forklift trucks at various times.

In manufacturing, portable gas canisters are typically used in the welding industry, such as TIG and MIG welding. TIG welding, known as tungsten inert gas welding, uses an inert gas, such as helium or argon, and MIG welding, known as metal inert gas welding, can also use the mentioned inert gases, but carbon dioxide is also used.
