Small Helium Tank

Small helium tanks are mini tanks filled with helium specially designed to inflate balloons for occasions like weddings, birthday parties, and other events that may require balloon use. The small helium canisters are in various sizes and can inflate different numbers of balloons. Some designs feature a nozzle or regulator for easy inflation. The canisters are in round or cylindrical shapes.

Capacities and sizes of small helium tanks

Small helium tanks are in various sizes and capacities to fill a specified number of balloon types. The mini 7L small helium pump fills approximately a number of 27-30 9-inch latex balloons, 14-16 12-inch latex balloons, and 14-16 18-inch foil balloons. The latex balloon can float for 6-8 hours. These tank sizes are suitable for personal use. The medium 13L small helium tank for balloons fills a number of 47-50 9-inch latex balloons, 25-27 12-inch latex balloons, and 25-27 18-inch foil balloons. The float time of balloons is 6-8 hours as well. The tank capacity is suitable for small event parties, like small birthday parties, where a few balloons are required. The large-sized 22L helium pump for balloons can fill approximately 87-90 9-inch, 44-46 12-inch, and 44-46 18-inch foil balloons. The float time is also 6-8hrs. The tanks are ideal for more significant events that need a slightly large number of balloons. There are also miniature disposable helium tank options, like a small helium canister for 10 balloons. These tank sizes are portable and are designed for one-time use. Depending on the manufacturer, they carry less capacity, like 1L to 3L or more. The disposable options are part of a balloon kit, which usually includes the specified number of balloons to be filled, ribbons, and the tank.

Types of small helium tanks

Refillable and disposable small helium tanks: Refillable tanks are designed for multiple uses; a helium supplier can refill them. It is ideal for use by event planning companies. Conversely, the disposable mini helium canisters are for one-time use and are suitable for one-time party events. Foil and latex small helium tanks: Some designs are designed to inflate either foil or latex balloons. So, choose according to the balloon type intended to be inflated. Ultra-high float small helium tanks: these mini helium tanks are filled with a balloon treatment that extends the amount of time the balloon will float compared to the standard small helium tanks.

Precautions for using helium tanks

To avoid gas buildup, use mini helium tanks for balloons in a well-ventilated room. Secondly, avoid inhaling the gas directly, as it can cause asphyxiation. Also, adhere to disposal guidelines for mini helium canisters that are disposable. Lastly, please do not use the tank near open flame or smoke; though helium is non-flammable, it supports combustion.
