There are three standard balloon gas/helium cylinder sizes from small to large, known to us as the V, T and L. All cylinders come with standard filling kit to ensure that you can regulate the gas flow to a usable level.

Helium is then sold in either liquid form (in containers or dewars) or gaseous form (in tube trailers, bundles or cylinders) and in a variety of purities to meet supply needs. Gaseous helium used in balloons is the product with the lowest concentration of helium of all the pure helium products.

Most of the helium on Earth is produced when uranium and thorium decay in the Earth's crust. This leaves pockets of helium trapped in the crust close to collections of natural gas and oil. Thus, when companies drill for natural gas, out comes helium at the same time.

There are various types of Helium gas cylinders available on the market, classified based on their size, pressure, and intended use. Here are some common types:

High-pressure cylinders: These are the most common type of helium cylinders, used for various applications such as welding, balloon filling, and leak detection. They come in various sizes, ranging from small portable cylinders to large stationary tanks.

Liquid helium cylinders: These cylinders are used to store and transport liquid helium, which is used in cryogenics and other scientific applications. They are designed to keep the helium at a very low temperature, typically below -269°C.

Medical helium cylinders: These cylinders are used for medical applications, such as MRI machines and respiratory therapy. They are specially designed to meet the safety and quality standards required for medical use.

Ultra-high purity helium cylinders: These cylinders contain helium that has been purified to an extremely high degree, typically 99.999% or higher. They are used in scientific research and manufacturing processes that require high purity gases.

It's important to note that the specific types of helium cylinders available may vary depending on the supplier and the region.

The two primary categories of helium gas cylinders are:

1. **High-Pressure Cylinders**: These cylinders hold high-pressured compressed helium gas. They are frequently utilised in industrial and scientific settings for tasks including welding, cooling machinery, and filling balloons.

2. **Liquid Helium Dewars**: Helium is kept in liquid form in these containers at extremely low temperatures. Cryogenics, superconductivity research, and the chilling of delicate scientific instruments are only a few of the specialised uses for them.

The particular purpose and specifications of the helium gas determine the type of cylinder to employ.
