Only used BOC so I'm interested in Air Products - done the maths though, looks about the same price to me
20lt @ 300 bar Argon Ultra from London Gases - £148 delivered
Air Products (Beal Gases) 30lt @ 230 bar is £157 delivered, more if I don't use it in a yearDepending on project I use a cylinder a year, frame building or something would use loads more of course, volume may well make it cheaper but LG don't charge for next day delivery so IDK.
Weirdly their 50lt is less than the 20lt, so year, I guess way cheaper, but the rent would add up. £440 for three years' rental - so yeah, same price again - £146 per annum

It's to be expected but London gases is way way way way wayyy more expensive than industrial suppliers. I can't remember what it was exactly but London gases Vs air products was like 16 times more expensive for argon. I have used air products for years and they're a bit annoying sometimes and you do pay more for bottle rental etc but you save on the product in the long run several times over. However London gases are convenient, so I understand using them for that, but if you're getting through any volume of gas I would rly recommend getting it elsewhere. Also i had to chase London gases alot to get a bottle deposit back.
