Ship building

Main areas of application:

1. Welding and cutting of metals

• Oxygen – used for oxy-fuel cutting of steel.
• Acetylene, propane – provide high flame temperature for effective welding.
• Argon, carbon dioxide – are used as shielding gases in MIG/MAG and TIG welding, which guarantees the strength and tightness of the seams.

2. Heat treatment and soldering

• Gas mixtures are used for heat treatment of metals, stress relief after welding and soldering of pipeline and electrical system elements.

3. Quality control and safety

• Helium, hydrogen – are used to detect leaks in sealed systems (for example, fuel tanks or air conditioning systems).
• Nitrogen – is used for purging and creating an inert environment that prevents corrosion and explosions.

4. Life support and fire extinguishing systems

• Oxygen and nitrogen are part of the atmosphere support systems on submarines and other sealed vessels.
• Carbon dioxide is used in automatic fire extinguishing systems.

Advantages of using technical gases:

• Increasing production productivity
• Reducing risks when working with metals
• Ensuring high quality welded joints
• Maintaining crew safety and vessel durability
