Central Stores has a consolidated program for the ordering, delivering and pick up of compressed gas cylinders, Dewars and associated materials throughout campus. The goal of the program is to promote safety and safe handling of cylinders, and to provide a consistent and dedicated order/delivery process for compressed gases. Benefits of this program include improved inventory control, cost savings via a centralized drop location, reduced surplus of cylinders on campus, and safe delivery to and from end user locations.
All gases will be supplied by Linde, the University’s preferred supplier. To place an order please log into WatProcure, go to the punch out suppliers box and click on Linde. For step by step instructions, see Linde ordering procedures.
If you are unsure of a part number or specific gas you would like to order, please contact Central Stores as per the contact information below. We can advise on existing products, refills and quotes for new gases/hard goods.
The Linde ordering system is very specific so the proper part number and spacing are required. Please refer to the price list or label on your existing cylinder for the correct code.
For helium and other vendor specific orders, please use the Gas Cylinder Order Form.
Make sure to fill in all required fields for proper billing information and delivery scheduling.
Air Liquide is our current preferred vendor for helium.
Central Stores is NOT responsible for installing or removing any regulators for the requested cylinders. As well, special arrangements need to be made for clean room deliveries.
For questions regarding the gas cylinders program or with placing an order, please contact the cylinder management team:
