Refill Argon AR - B05
34,38 €
Important info!
- You can only order a refill if you already have an empty JANOX gas cylinder.
- Only one refill can be ordered per empty cylinder.
- Send your empty cylinder to us (at your own expense).
- As soon as we receive the empty cylinder, we will immediately ship your refill (full cylinder).
Product details
Argon AR gas cylinder, filled with 5L of AR, specially developed for inert atmospheres to prevent oxidation and as a filler for light bulbs (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Practical transport rules for the B5
- Protective cap mandatory: Close the valve hand-tight and screw the plastic or steel protective cap onto the cylinder. If the cylinder falls and the valve breaks off, the 200 bar pressure escapes instantly, causing the cylinder to shoot away like a rocket.
- Secure firmly (fasten): Due to the low height (approx. 55 cm) and weight (8–10 kg), B5 cylinders roll quickly in a trunk or cargo area. Secure the cylinder in a crate or fix it with a tension strap. Unlike acetylene, argon cylinders may be laid flat during transport, provided they are 100% clamped in place and cannot roll.
- Maximum ventilation: Preferably transport the cylinder in a van with cargo area ventilation. Transporting it in a passenger car? Set the fan to the highest setting (no recirculation) or leave a window slightly open to prevent oxygen deficiency in the event of a micro-leak.
- Never store permanently in the car: Remove the cylinder from the vehicle immediately after transport. A car parked in full sun can get warmer than 60°C inside, which causes dangerous pressure increases in the cylinder.
- Fire extinguisher: Are you driving commercially with this cylinder? Then you are required to have an approved 2 kg powder fire extinguisher (ABC) in the vehicle, even though the gas itself is non-flammable.

Safety
Although argon is a safe, inert (non-flammable) noble gas, an Argon Ar - B5 gas cylinder is under an extremely high pressure of 200 bar. This entails specific physical risks. Below are the most important guidelines for safety and transport according to applicable legislation.
1. Safety in use and storage
- Suffocation hazard in confined spaces: Argon is non-toxic and non-flammable, but it is heavier than air. In the event of a large leak in a basement, pit, or small enclosed space, the gas sinks to the floor and displaces the oxygen. This can lead to undetected suffocation. Always ensure good ventilation at floor level.
- High-pressure risks: The 200 bar pressure in the cylinder is immense. Therefore, never use a damaged pressure regulator or a pressure reducer that is not explicitly suitable for argon (cylinder connection: RU3 - W24.32 x 1/14" external right-hand thread).
- Color recognition: An argon cylinder is immediately recognizable by its dark green shoulder (RAL 6001) in accordance with European standard EN 1089-3. The rest of the cylinder is usually gray or green.
- Storage: Store the B5 cylinder upright, protected from extreme heat (above 50°C) and direct sunlight, to prevent the internal pressure from rising too high.
