Refill Helium He - food grade B5
- You can only order a refill if you have an empty JANOX gas cylinder.
- Only one refill can be ordered per empty cylinder.
- Please send your empty gas cylinder to us (at your own expense).
- As soon as we receive the empty cylinder, we will ship your refill (full gas cylinder) immediately.
Product details
Helium (He) gas cylinder, filled with 5L of food-grade helium (E939), specially developed for professional applications and strict quality standards in the food and packaging industry (designed for reliable and professional use).
Transport
Helium falls under ADR regulations as UN number 1046 (Helium, compressed, Class 2.2: Non-flammable, non-toxic gases).
- ADR Points Calculation: Non-flammable gases count as 1 point per liter of water capacity. A B5 cylinder has a water capacity of 5 liters and therefore equals exactly 5 ADR points. You may transport up to 1,000 points (200 of these cylinders) without an ADR certificate or orange placards.
- Cylinder Cap Required: Always screw the protective cap onto the cylinder during transport to protect the valve in case of a fall.
- Horizontal Transport Allowed: As it is a pure compressed gas, the B5 cylinder may be transported both upright and horizontally, provided it is secured tightly with ratchet straps so it cannot roll or slide.
- Ventilation: Transport the cylinder with the car windows slightly open or with active cargo area ventilation.
- Fire Extinguisher: For professional (commercial) transport, a certified 2 kg powder extinguisher (ABC) is legally required in the vehicle.
Information
Safety
Although Helium is non-flammable, non-explosive, and non-toxic, the cylinder poses specific physical risks:
- Asphyxiation Hazard (Lighter than air!): Unlike Argon, Helium is much lighter than air. In the event of a leak, the gas rises immediately and accumulates under the ceiling or in the roof of the workshop, silently displacing oxygen. Always ensure ventilation at the top of the room.
- High Pressure (200 bar): The enormous pressure requires an approved Helium pressure regulator. Never use damaged valves or connections.
Color Code: The shoulder of the gas cylinder is brown (RAL 8008) in accordance with the European standard EN 1089-3 for Helium.
Inhalation is Dangerous: Inhaling Helium to create a "squeaky voice" is life-threatening. It acutely displaces oxygen in the lungs, which can lead to sudden loss of consciousness, brain damage, or suffocation.
