20L Nitrogen for Laser Cutting

  • High‑purity nitrogen for oxidation‑free cuts and superior surface finish
  • 20L capacity for extended run time and fewer cylinder swaps
  • Consistent pressure delivery to stabilise cut quality across long jobs
  • Compatible with fibre and CO₂ lasers and most standard laser gas fittings
  • Non‑flammable, inert gas for safe handling and storage
  • Improves throughput by reducing dross and secondary finishing time
  • Portable yet production‑ready for shop floors and mobile fabrication units

Nitrogen is used as an assist/shield gas to blow molten material from the kerf while preventing oxidation, producing clean, mirror‑bright edges that minimize grinding and polishing.

  • Precision sheet‑metal cutting for production runs
  • Contract manufacturing and batch fabrication
  • Architectural metalwork and decorative panels
  • Automotive components and brackets
  • Foodservice and kitchen equipment fabrication
  • Electronics enclosures and medical device housings

FAQs

As a trusted supplier of gas, we frequently get asked questions about gas safety, the difference between butane and propane, as well as the best uses for our gas products. In this blog, we’ll be answering our most common FAQs.

You can place orders online through the Adams Gas shop, by contacting the team by phone or email, or by locating a nearby stockist via their stockist finder. For refills, Adams Gas offers a professional gas cylinder filling service, including collection and re-delivery of customer-owned bottles where required.

Adams Gas supplies a wide range of bottled gases across the UK, including propane, butane, CO₂ (carbon dioxide), helium, argon, nitrogen and welding gases such as MIG and TIG mixtures. They also offer additional services like gas cylinder filling, new cylinders, cylinder testing, third-party storage and transport of dangerous goods.

Yes, nitrogen is widely used for pressure testing and purging because it is inert and does not introduce moisture or oxygen into systems. This makes it suitable for testing pipework, HVAC systems, and other sealed environments. Adams Gas supplies nitrogen bottles commonly used for these professional applications.

Disposable gas cylinders are most practical for short duration tasks, site work, mobile jobs, or low volume usage where portability and convenience are priorities. They are commonly chosen when returning or storing refillable cylinders is not efficient. Adams Gas supplies disposable gas cylinders suited to these use cases.

Disposable gas cylinders are typically used for light welding, brazing, soldering, heating, and maintenance tasks. They are often ed for repair work, installation jobs, and situations where compact equipment is required. Adams Gas provides disposable gas cylinders suitable for professional and trade applications.

Disposable cylinders offer convenience and portability, while refillable cylinders are generally more cost effective for regular or high volume use. Disposable options are best suited to occasional or mobile work where efficiency and ease of use outweigh long term running costs. Adams Gas offers both disposable and refillable options so users can choose the most efficient solution.

Nitrogen bottles are commonly ed for applications that require an inert, dry, and stable gas supply. These include pressure testing, purging, leak detection support, tyre inflation, laboratory use, and certain industrial processes. Adams Gas supplies nitrogen bottles suitable for professional and trade applications where consistency and reliability are essential.

Choosing the correct nitrogen bottle size depends on usage volume, flow requirements, and whether mobility or reduced changeovers is the priority. Smaller bottles suit site work and intermittent use, while larger cylinders are more efficient for workshops and continuous applications. Adams Gas offers nitrogen bottles in multiple sizes to support different working environments.
