Helium — Balloon & Event
Balloon and event helium for decorators, venues and promotions, with the industrial helium path kept separate.
Where balloon helium fits.
Best for
- Balloon inflation for parties and events
- Venue installs, decorators and retail promotions
- Jobs where the gas is purely for balloon and display use
Check before ordering
- Confirm the number and size of balloons being filled.
- Tell us whether it is a one-off event, decorator stock or repeat retail use.
- If the gas is for industrial or lab work, move to the industrial helium path.
Balloon and event helium?
Decorators, venues, promotions.
If the job is balloon inflation for events, installs or retail promotions, you are in the right place. Industrial and lab helium belong on their own path.
Balloon and event helium
Use it for decorators, party work, venue installs and retail promotions where the job is balloon inflation rather than industrial process use.
Cylinder size should match balloon count.
The practical question is how many balloons are being filled and what size they are, not just picking the biggest bottle by default.
Keep industrial helium separate
If the gas is for leak detection, instruments or specialty work, move to the industrial and lab helium path instead.
Helium for balloon and event use suits decorators, venues, retail promotions and private events. Puregas supplies practical cylinder sizes so the bottle can be matched to the job instead of oversizing by default.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C | 0.5 | 19000 | 3 | Brown | Type 10 |
| D | 1.4 | 19000 | 10 | Brown | Type 10 |
| E | 3.4 | 19000 | 23-25 | Brown | Type 10 |
| G | 9.1 | 19000 | 50 | Brown | Type 10 |
Cylinder contents pressure is referenced at 15°C. Actual pressure can vary with ambient temperature.
Hazards
- Helium is non-toxic and non-flammable, but it is an asphyxiant.
- Never deliberately inhale helium.

What matters on site
Never deliberately inhale helium.
Keep cylinders upright, secured and used in ventilated spaces.
Match the regulator and fill gear to the bottle in use.
If the gas is for leak detection or lab work, switch to the industrial helium path.

Need the industrial helium path instead?
Balloon helium is only one lane. If the job is leak detection, laboratory use or another specialty application, use the industrial helium path below.
