Introducing the innovative new G3 VIPR cylinder

We are excited to introduce the new G3 VIPR cylinder. The 50 litre, higher pressure cylinder with an in-built Variable Integrated Pressure Regulator (VIPR) has been designed to provide you with a significant increase in efficiency with greater safety and convenience.

  • It is filled to a pressure of up to 300 bar which provides higher capacity than existing G sized cylinders.

  • The increased cylinder capacity will reduce your storage requirements and cylinder changeover frequency. This means less down time and better cost efficiencies for you.

  • The in-built regulator eliminates the hassle of acquiring, fitting and maintaining a separate regulator.

  • Works with your existing hoses and connections (Provided they meet the requirements of the relevant Australian Standards).

The G3 VIPR cylinder is currently available in limited locations on the East Coast of Australia in the following shielding gases:

Product name Gas code Contents (m3)
Argon 061G3VIPR 14.8
ARGOSHIELD® Light 060G3VIPR 15.1
ARGOSHIELD® Heavy 122G3VIPR 14
ARGOSHIELD® 52 070G3VIPR 14.7
ARGOSHIELD® MCW 066G3VIPR 15.5

Our new trolley helps you safely handle the G3 VIPR cylinder.

Our new cylinder’s innovative design allows it to be filled up to a pressure of 300 bar, which provides a significant advantage with almost 70% more gas in your cylinder. This increase in gas capacity comes with a corresponding increase in cylinder weight. In order to maintain good manual handling technique, it is necessary to use appropriate manual handling devices to move G3 cylinders. Never attempt to manually lift the cylinder or to lift using the guard. BOC has designed a trolley specifically for the G3 cylinder. The trolley is ideal for moving the G3 VIPR over smooth ground, and moving the cylinder on and off pallets.

Please refer to the G3 VIPR brochure for instructions on how to use the G3 cylinder trolley.
