Air Liquide Australia Limited
ARCAL with ALTOP
Top Performance in Welding
The ARCAL gas package integrates four key components,
which provide unmatched benefits for safe, easy-to-use, cost effective, high
quality welding.
1. |
ALTOP
ALTOP is a world first*. A gas cylinder with a permanently attached, fully
adjustable, built-in pressure regulator-valve, all encased by a protective
valve guard "top". |
|
2. |
New ARCAL gas mixtures
ARCAL gases are formulated to provide increases in productivity and cost
efficiency. Less spatter, improved welding speeds, reduced-set up and
clean-up times and the reduction in consumption costs, i.e. less gas and
MIG wire used, are all factors that lower your overall operating costs.

3. |
New "Gx" size gas cylinder
The new "Gx" size high-pressure gas cylinder is designed for EXTRA gas
capacity (> 10 m3) so you have fewer cylinder change overs and more time
spent on those all-important jobs. |
|
4. |
Metal-based product
names The ARCAL family of products has been designed with simplicity
in mind, right down to the name, a name that tells you clearly what metal
or application the gas is intended for and the appropriate thickness range

Safety
- ALTOP valve guard.
A shock-resistant 'top' that offers permanent protection of the pressure
regulator-valve.
- Quick action on/off lever.
Designed so in the event of a knock or bump the lever automatically reverts
to the off position. This turns off the gas supply instantly at the regulator
outlet.
Cost Efficiency
- No more regulators to buy.
With ALTOP you no longer need to buy, maintain or replace broken or stolen
regulators and flowmeters. Ongoing maintenance costs are eliminated.
- No more leaking regulators.
ALTOP eliminates poorly maintained regulators that leak and cause over consumption
and wastage of your gas.
- Regulator changeovers - a thing of the past.
With no regulators to mount or dismount, cylinder change over and connection
time is reduced dramatically.
Ease of Use
- Quick action on/off lever.
Enables easy opening of the cylinder and a rapid shut down when not in use.
The position of the lever shows you clearly if the valve is on or off.
- Quick connector hose coupling.
Designed with the welding person in mind, it allows for attachment even
with welding gloves on.
Your Assurance of Quality
- The ARCAL quality specification.
Every ARCAL gas is produced to exacting requirements. The gas mixture components
are guaranteed by Air Liquide to be within a mixing tolerance of 10% on
every gas component.
- Batch Certificates - quality confirmed in writing.
To support our claim of providing the highest quality products and to further
improve your quality assurance programs and peace of mind, Air Liquide offers
all ARCAL customers a Batch Certificate service.**
- Your quality gas is quality sealed.
With ARCAL shielding gases you can rest assured that the gas Air Liquide
filled to its rigorous standards of quality will reach you as we intended
it, unopened and factory fresh. The unique ALTOP "tamper evident tab" is
your assurance of undisturbed quality.
Improved weld bead appearance &
quality
- ARCAL MS-2 improves the wettability of the molten weld pool
and reduces the amount of surface oxides and spatter, which is essential to
achieving weld beads with outstanding appearance. ARCAL gives you quality
where it counts - in the weld.
* Patent pending. ** Batch Certificates are supplied on request.
A service fee applies.
