Helium Balloon Gas Cylinders
Product Code : EL-CLE-10987
Quick answer: Helium Balloon Gas Cylinders are disposable cylinders of helium fitted with an easy-fill nozzle and an open/close valve for inflating latex and foil balloons. A small cylinder fills about 30 x 9 inch latex balloons and a large one about 50, and unused gas stays stored for later. Lab Exports supplies them as a reseller to schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
Helium is the second lightest element and has about one seventh the density of air, so a balloon filled with it floats. That makes helium balloons a simple way to show density and buoyancy in science lessons: the upthrust from the displaced air is greater than the weight of the balloon and the gas inside it. Helium is also a noble gas, chemically inert, and it does not burn.
Balloons should be inflated carefully to make the most of the gas in each cylinder, and helium must never be inhaled, because breathing it displaces oxygen from the lungs.
- Stretch the balloon neck over the easy-fill nozzle.
- Open the valve and inflate the balloon to its rated size without over-filling.
- Close the valve, remove the balloon and tie the neck.
- Keep the valve closed between uses so the remaining helium stays stored in the cylinder.
