ISO Helium Tank (High pressure DOT) kind

[Moondizzle]

Looking for an old but usable helium tank that can be refilled. My sister is the PTO president at her sons school and is trying to source a helium tank she could use for their events and what not. Let me know!

What size? 

40, 80, 125 cu/ft?

Since helium is innert, flammability is not a concern. But proper transportation and max temperature avoidance/regulation of highly compressed gas needs to be observed and followed to avoid possible explosions and potentially life ending situations.

Good question, what would the size of a 5ft tall tank be?

Transporting it, because of weight and size, would be the problem with a 50" 300CF.

I recommend you visit a welding gas supply company and try to move the different sizes tanks before you buy one.

Also, tanks have to be inspected/hydro tested and pass at certain time intervals to remain safely in service. The tank needs to be secured such that it will not fall while standing. A good gas cylinder cart would help with some mobility and stability.

You should be able to research most on line or through conversing in person at the welding/gas store.

Best wishes.

I am not a know it all. I've just done many things in life and am getting too old to still do some efficiently. And I still make too many mistakes for my own comfort.
