ARCAL™
Shielding Gases
ARCAL shielding gases deliver optimum performance for root shielding, plasma cutting and arc welding of stainless, carbon and alloy steel, aluminum, copper and other materials. ARCAL products meet or exceed current and anticipated changes to A 5.32/ISO 14175 standards. The application of these gases allows high welding and cutting productivity, exceptional quality of welded joints and better working conditions.
Benefits and Features
- Lower impurities and consistently homogeneous mixtures yield faster welding and cutting speeds with excellent penetration profiles.
- Exclusive SMARTOP™ valve improves safety and reduces wasted gas.
- Exclusive SCANDINA™ cap improves efficiency and ease of cylinder maneuverability.
- Reduced fume/gas emissions, low spattering, better arc control and easy parameter improve welding conditions.
ARCAL gases are available in size 49 cylinders, either individually or in packs of 16. Single cylinders feature Air Liquide's exclusive SMARTOP valves and SCANDINA caps, while 16-cylinder packs are outfitted with residual pressure valves (RPVs) on the outlets. ARCAL products provide performance-based solutions and are offered in two grade tiers that are engineered to provide application-specific welding/cutting performance.
Reference Tier Features
- Close tolerance that meets ISO 14175 standards.
- No change of service thereby maintaining impurity specifications.
- Ability to use close to 100% of the contained product.
- Savings through reduced gas loss and consistency of mixture.
- Improved safety through exclusive cylinder packaging.
