What are the different gas supply options and which is most suited to my needs?

Your gas supply can influence your productivity. Frequent handling and changeover of cylinders can increase non-productive time, reduce your efficiency and ultimately increase your operational costs. It is therefore essential to choose the gas supply package that best matches your demand.
When choosing a gas supply package you should consider important factors such a pressure, volume, flow rate and your service requirements.
Further detail can be found in the BOC Gas Supply Packages section. Alternatively, you can ask for advice or request a copy of the BOC Supply Options brochure - FAB/007483 on 0800 111 333.

What non-gas products can I buy from BOC?

'So much more than gas' - In addition to our standard gas products, we also offer a range of complementary goods including Gas Equipment, Arc Equipment, Filler Materials, Trade Tools and Safety Products. You can browse these products via The BOC Book online.
