of the cylinder you require, you need to answer a few simple
questions: Diameter (mm)
- What type of balloons do you want to use? Pressure (bar)

- What size balloons do you want to use?
- How many balloons do you want to inflate? Size Large Medium Small
Using the above right diagram, you can determine the most Item Number 528-SE 528-JE 528-UE
appropriate cylinder for your needs. Note that the diagrams Cylinder weight (kg) 76 29,6 9
show the approximate number of balloons that can be filled.
Approximate number
Numbers will vary according to balloon manufacturer and the of balloons (300 mm)
shape of the balloon.
Useful Tips
• It is very important not to over-inflate your balloons.
For instance, if you inflate a 300 mm balloon to 375 mm,
you will use almost twice as much helium
• Filling balloons is quick and simple with an Afrox inflator
• Depending on your requirements, an inflator can be

purchased or rented
• Rent an inflator by paying a refundable deposit.

Zirconiated TIG Electrodes (White tips)

Zirconiated tungsten electrodes exhibit good performance
characteristics in AC welding, especially under high load
current. These electrodes can retain a balled end when
welding, which results in less tungsten permeation and good
corrosion resistance. It balls up well in AC welding and has
a more stable arc than pure tungsten. Displays excellent
performance in high load AC welding. Not replaceable by any
other electrodes. Resists contamination well in AC welding.
Application: Zirconiated tungsten is most commonly used for AC

Afrox Tip
When fuel gases are mixed with oxygen under pressure, there is a chance of one gas mixing back into the other. Once the gases
are mixed, there is the risk that this mixture may ignite and explode. This explosion, called a flashback, can travel all the way back
into the system, to the point of mixing. It can cause considerable damage to equipment and poses substantial risk to life and limb.
Afrox recommends that each regulator outlet and torch inlet be fitted with a SABS-approved flashback arrestor.

portability, the set is ideal for emergency vehicles or on maintenance duty in industry where portability is a must. The PortaPak® is
ideal for fusion weld, braze weld, silver solder, heating and cutting. Nozzles provided will fusion weld steel up to 4 mm and cut steel
up to 6 mm thick. The cutting capability can be extended to 20 mm by using the AFN 1,2 mm nozzle or to ± 35 mm using the AFN
1,6 mm nozzle, available as optional extras. Brazing and welding with No. 5 nozzle - six hours. Cutting with 0,8 mm nozzle - 45
minutes. These times are for non-stop operation. The average job requires a fair amount of preparation, and welding and cutting is
normally intermittent, which in practice extends these times considerably.

Afrox Tip
Cylinder pressures vary with the different compressed gases. Therefore, select the correct regulator for the gas you are using as
well as your application.
