Helium Gas

Coregas can meet your needs for helium gas, no matter where in Australia or New Zealand you are based. Through our nationwide network of depots and third-party distributors, we act as trusted gas suppliers providing high-quality, commercial helium to companies and individuals across the country.

Grades of helium available

We manufacture laboratory grade, laser grade, and industrial grade helium in Australia, in accordance with all applicable standards. For detailed information on purity levels, please see the certificate of conformance for the product in which you are interested.

Helium 5.0 is used for gas chromatography applications, in calibration gas mixtures, as a pressurising gas, in liquid form for NMR and MRI equipment and various other critical applications. Helium 5.0 is also used in supercritical fluid chromatography, as helium head pressure carbon dioxide (HHPCD), and in liquid hydrocarbon calibration mixtures.

• Balloon gas — Our industrial-grade helium is widely used for inflating party balloons. This grade is ideal for event suppliers and retail stores needing a reliable and safe gas for general balloon inflation. It is supplied in easy-to-handle cylinders and is suitable for both small and large-scale use.
• Helium 4.6 — It is used for shielding gas, resonator gas and laser cutting applications. Common in electronics and fabrication industries, helium 4.6 provides the inert environment needed for high-precision cutting and welding. It supports consistent laser performance and helps prevent contamination during sensitive processes.
• Helium 5.0 and Liquid Helium — It is used for gas chromatography applications, in calibration gas mixtures, as a pressurising gas, in NMR and MRI equipment and various other critical applications. Helium 5.0 is also used in supercritical fluid chromatography, as helium head pressure carbon dioxide (HHPCD), and in liquid hydrocarbon calibration mixtures.

Industries we support with helium

Coregas is a helium gas supplier to a wide range of industries, with purity grades suited to everything from everyday use to specialised environments.

• Event and party suppliers

Our industrial-grade balloon gas is ideal for inflating helium balloons at events, retail stores and party supply outlets. It's easy to use and available in portable cylinders for convenience.

• Electronics and laser cutting

Laser cutting and electronics manufacturing rely on helium 4.6 as a shielding or purging gas, particularly in high-precision or cleanroom settings.

• Research and calibration labs

Laboratories use helium 5.0 for gas chromatography, calibration gas mixtures and analytical equipment. Its high purity ensures accuracy in test results and process control.

Liquid helium is essential for cooling NMR machines used in scientific and commercial research. Coregas is recognised as a dependable NMR gas supplier, supporting advanced research applications across academia and other industries.

• Medical imaging and diagnostics

Liquid helium also plays a critical role in MRI machines and other medical devices, where precise cooling or pressurisation is required to maintain optimal performance and patient safety.

Choose the right helium cylinder size for your needs

Coregas supplies helium in a wide range of cylinder sizes to suit everything from small-scale use to large industrial applications. Whether you need a compact cylinder for balloon inflation or a bulk supply for medical or laboratory purposes, we have an option to match.

As a leading helium supplier, Coregas provides cylinders in multiple sizes, from portable bottles for balloons to cryogenic vessels for advanced scientific use. Volumes vary depending on grade and application, including liquid helium for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and industrial helium gas for welding and electronics.

We also offer helium-compatible cylinder regulators to ensure safe and accurate gas flow across all usage types.

If you're unsure what size suits your setup, our team can help recommend the most efficient and cost-effective option based on your usage, delivery frequency and site setup.

Download a Certificate of Conformance for your helium

Each Coregas helium gas cylinder can be supplied with a Certificate of Conformance (COC), confirming the gas type, composition and cylinder contents. COCs are available for all standard sizes in our helium range and can be easily downloaded from the relevant gas page. Simply scroll to the table at the bottom and access the certificate from the right-hand column.

Flexible delivery and collection options for helium

Coregas offers several convenient ways to receive your helium, whether you need it delivered quickly or prefer to collect locally.

• Next day delivery — For orders of stocked gases placed before 2:30 pm, we aim to deliver the next working day. Rarer gases and special gas mixtures may take longer. For organisations based far away from a Coregas branch, your local depot may deliver your order. You can order via your online account or contact us via phone, fax or email.
• Collect from a branch — Our branches are run by local Coregas employees and are usually open 8:30 am – 4:30 pm Monday – Friday, although this may sometimes vary, so check times if you plan to visit. Find your nearest Coregas branch through our store locator.
• Collect from a depot or distributor — Depots are gas suppliers that you can deal with as if they were part of Coregas. You place your order with the depot, but your account is with Coregas. Find your nearest depot or distributor through our store locator.
