What to know locally in Klerksdorp
Engineering workshops in the Klerksdorp industrial area and contractors serving the shafts near Stilfontein and Orkney rent oxygen, acetylene and argon CO2 mixes, often with a monthly rental per cylinder. Store acetylene upright and fit flashback arrestors on cutting sets. Farm workshops on the Hartbeesfontein road also keep welding gas. Old cylinders past their test date in Alabama and Jouberton should be retested or scrapped, not repaired.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp is the main town of the Matlosana area, with gold mining around Stilfontein and Orkney and maize and cattle farms stretching towards Hartbeesfontein. Gas use is a mix of all three. Mine contractors and engineering shops rent welding and cutting gases, maize farmers use gas in farmhouses and sometimes for drying, and homes in Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Jouberton cook and heat water on LPG. Cylinders come in by road on the N12 to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores, and farm delivery covers long gravel roads. Winters are cold and dry with frost, so indoor heaters need fresh air, and hot summers mean cylinders belong in the shade, never in a closed car.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:

- Factories, warehouses and workshops: owned cylinders for canteen cooking, heating and small burners on site
