Description
Balloon Helium Tank
Made in Italy
Non-Refillable Tank
7.91 ft³ / 40g / 224 liters
This tank can fill approximately 26 (9" balloons). The tank is full of 99% pure helium unlike other tanks that use an 80% mix of helium. The balloons from this tank will last noticeably longer. Although the tank is small its able to hold a much higher pressure compared to the other off the shelf larger tanks. A typical off the shelf helium tank at the party store holds 8.9 cubic feet of gas @ 80% helium. This tank is 7.9 cubic feet of gas @ 99% helium. The tank includes a yellow filling nozzle that you twist to release the gas into the balloon. The balloon in the photo is a 36" balloon and demonstrates the full quantity of gas in the tank.
Note* This is high purity helium and helium is the second smallest atom in the universe. Consider that helium nucli are so small that they can pass through gold foil without hitting other gold nucli. As discovered in the Rutherford Gold Experiment. When using high purity helium with latex a barrier should be used like HiFloat or Polyvinyl alcohol, To maximize float time on your balloon. It creates an extra barrier which slows down the rate at which helium leaves the balloon.
