Price of argon

admin

Just exchanged a bottle (125 cf) of argon this morning here in the hills of NJ, 38.99 for the gas, 3 bucks for the hazmat fee.  Not complaining, just saying.   Best  Bob

Reply:So is this the price difference regional, volume, preferred customer, supplier or a little bit of everything?
Reply:Probably all the above.
Reply:$39  for 155CF of C25 or Ar @ Arcet.  $42 for an 80CF.  That's why ripping 155s for C25/Ar is financial responsible. $62/yr rental rate on a 155CF.  Case closed."Discovery is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought" - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Reply:Thanks fella's for all the replies, I'm not a commercial user, maybe four/five 125 cu ft tanks per year.  Just putting this info out here so others can see the price I'm paying for !00% argon.  330 cu ft tanks are rental here and would be less expensive but they are lease tanks and I do not use that much to warrent a lease in my opinion.  Best  Bob

Reply:$32 out the door for a 125' a week or two ago in Houston.  It is a lesson in futility to try to compare prices and cylinder practices across the country.
Reply:Cope, I would have to agree with you.  Buying gas is a crap shoot no matter where you go.  Best  Bob
Reply:I had an outofdate (L&V) 125 bottle & had to take it to airgas to exchange. $65.00 for argon + insp. fee.Since then, Matheson 5 star exchanged the 'new' one for $40.00. Hazmat fees both the same. They are about 200 yards apart & and on opposite sides of the street.
