Argon gas cylinders with capacities of 6 liters, 10 liters, and 40 liters – how much do they cost? This is a frequently asked question by many customers today. To help customers understand this issue, please follow the article below to learn more about argon gas, its price, and where to buy pure argon gas.
How much do Argon gas cylinders cost?
Currently, there are many types of Argon gas cylinders on the market, such as 6-liter, 10-liter, 14-liter, 20-liter, and 40-liter Argon gas cylinders…
The price of argon gas varies significantly depending on the volume, supplier, and other factors. For example, a small 6-liter argon cylinder has a smaller capacity than a 10-liter one, so its price will be lower.
Besides the capacity of each type of argon cylinder, the price of a small argon cylinder and other capacity cylinders will also depend on many factors such as cylinder material, purity, manufacturer, and origin (whether produced in Vietnam or imported).
For instance, an argon gas cylinder with a purity of 99.99% will have a different price compared to cylinders with purities of 99.995%, 99.999%, etc.
Furthermore, as we know, products from reputable manufacturers will have higher prices than generic, roadside products.
The same applies to argon gas cylinders. Those from reputable manufacturers with high quality will always have a significantly higher price than unbranded, low-quality ones.
Below is some information about different types of argon cylinders with varying prices:
10-liter Argon Gas Cylinder
- Volume: 10 liters (1.5 m3)
- Test pressure: 250 bar, working pressure: 150 bar
- Weight: 13.8 kg
The current market price for a 10-liter argon gas cylinder ranges from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000 VND.
14-liter Argon Gas Cylinder
- Volume: 14 liters (2 m3)
- Test pressure: 250 bar, working pressure: 150 bar
- Weight: 18.6 kg
The current market price for a 14-liter argon gas cylinder ranges from 1,400,000 to 1,500,000 VND.
40-liter Argon Gas Cylinder
- Volume: 40 liters (6 m3)
- Test pressure: 250 bar, working pressure: 150 bar
- Weight: 55 kg
The current market price for a 40-liter argon gas cylinder ranges from 1,800,000 to 2,000,000 VND. The price varies depending on the purity. For example, the price for an argon cylinder used for stainless steel welding will differ from that of a pure argon cylinder used in experiments and analysis.

What is Argon gas? Properties of Ar
Argon gas is a chemical element in the periodic table with the symbol Ar and atomic number 18.
It is the third most abundant noble gas in group 18, constituting approximately 0.934% of Earth’s atmosphere and 1.3% of the planet’s mass. It is 1.5 times heavier than air.
Very little is known about the chemical compounds of argon, which is why it is called an inert gas. Therefore, it does not react with other chemical substances, and argon does not dissolve in metals, whether in liquid or solid form.
This gas is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen and has approximately the same solubility as oxygen. Argon is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic chemical element in both liquid and gaseous states.
>>> Fact: Is argon gas toxic or flammable?
Currently, argon gas is mainly produced by low-temperature condensation of air and separation of argon from oxygen and nitrogen.
In addition, argon can be produced from by-products of ferrous metallurgy plants or exhaust gases from NH3 production.
Applications of Argon gas
The applications of argon gas are quite common. It is often used in electric light bulbs because it does not react with the filament even at high temperatures and in cases where molecular nitrogen is an unstable semi-inert gas.
Besides this, argon gas also has other applications:
- In the metal welding industry, this gas is used as an inert gas environment for metal inert gas welding and tungsten inert gas welding.
- In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, this gas is considered a protective layer for growing silicon and germanium crystals.
- In plasma cutting applications for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Pure argon gas is used at very high temperatures.
- Due to its inability to react with the filament even at high temperatures, it is used in electric light bulbs.
- Argon in the space between glass panes provides better insulation as it is a poorer thermal conductor than regular air.
- Used in SCUBA diving for pumping Drysuits.
- Cryosurgery devices such as cryoablation use liquid argon to destroy cancer cells.
In addition, argon gas is an indispensable gas in laboratories, analysis centers, research institutes, etc.
Important notes when buying and selling Argon gas
♦ Currently, some establishments sell argon cylinder shells that are mainly repainted CO2 fire extinguisher cylinders with replaced valves. Therefore, some may or may not have safety inspection stamps on the cylinders and are filled with very little argon, leading to rapid depletion.
♦ When customers buy argon gas cylinder shells, they do not know how many liters or cubic meters of gas they contain. Even some argon cylinder sellers do not know, so the majority of customers mistakenly buy the wrong quantity.
♦ For example, when the capacity of an argon gas cylinder is 10 liters, the seller might say it is a 14-liter cylinder. Therefore, when buying and selling argon gas, the buyer needs to ask the seller to attach a pressure gauge to accurately measure the gas.
♦ When buying an argon gas cylinder, customers need to pay attention to the cylinder code, safety cap, and information on the cylinder neck such as production date, year of manufacture, and manufacturer.
Hopefully, the information above will help customers better understand argon gas cylinders and make a suitable choice.
