Argon C10 (CS & MS Weld)
Where Argon C10 fits.
Best for
- Mild and carbon-steel MIG setups already specified for Argon C10
- Workshop fabrication where the current weld procedure already uses this blend
- Sites replacing an existing C10 cylinder rather than changing the gas path
Check before ordering
- Send the current blend, cylinder label or weld procedure if you are replacing an existing setup.
- If the job is TIG or aluminium, move to straight argon or the aluminium blend path.
- If the current weld procedure uses another MIG blend, match that blend rather than switching it.
Mild-steel MIG blend?
C10 for cleaner arc control.
If the current job already runs Argon C10 for mild or carbon-steel MIG, you are in the right place. We match the existing weld-gas path rather than guessing the blend.
Argon C10 is one of the lighter-CO₂ mild-steel MIG lanes.
Use it where the current weld procedure already specifies this blend for mild or carbon-steel fabrication.
Do not switch MIG blends by guesswork.
If you are replacing an existing gas, send the current bottle, label or weld procedure details and we will match it cleanly.
Straight argon is a different lane
If the job is TIG or aluminium work, move to straight argon or the aluminium blends rather than treating them as interchangeable.
Argon C10 is a 90/10 argon and carbon dioxide mix used as a shielding gas for carbon and mild-steel MIG welding. It suits fabrication work that needs stable arc performance and a cleaner weld process.
Cylinder sizes
Published sizes. Not every application needs a G — we’ll size it to your actual draw rate.
| Size | Contents (m³) | Pressure @ 15°C | Water Capacity (L) | Colour | Connection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D | 2.1 | 19000 | 10 | Peacock blue (green-grey top) | Type 10 |
| E | 5.0 | 19000 | 23 | Peacock blue (green-grey top) | Type 10 |
| G | 10.5 | 19000 | 50 | Peacock blue (green-grey top) | Type 10 |
Cylinder contents pressure is referenced at 15°C. Actual pressure can vary with ambient temperature.
Hazards
- Argon and carbon dioxide can displace oxygen in poorly ventilated spaces.
- Use only in ventilated work areas and follow the SDS.

What matters on site
Use the correct regulator, connection and pressure-rated equipment.
Keep cylinders upright, secured and used in ventilated work areas.
Do not change the weld-gas blend by guesswork; match the gas the procedure already uses.
If you are replacing an existing supply, send the current cylinder label or procedure details and we will match it.
