Kimberley notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Contractors working the diamond diggings and engineering shops in the Kimberley industrial area rent oxygen, acetylene and argon mixes, and smaller diggers near Barkly West often fetch refills in town. Chain cylinders upright on the bakkie for the drive. In summer, a cylinder left on a Roodepan stoep or in a parked car gets very hot, so keep it shaded. Lockable, ventilated cages help against theft in Beaconsfield.
Cooking, heating and working on gas in Kimberley
Kimberley is the Northern Cape's capital and its diamond city, with summers that are very hot and dry and winter nights that can drop below freezing. Both extremes affect gas use. In winter, homes in Hadison Park, Royldene and Galeshewe lean on gas heaters and stoves, and in summer cylinders need shade. Mining contractors and engineering shops in the Kimberley industrial area rent welding and cutting gases, and irrigation farms along the Vaal and Riet rivers near Barkly West and Ritchie use gas in farmhouses. LPG comes in by road over long distances to dealers, refill stations and hardware stores. Outlying farms and smaller towns rely on delivery rounds, so order early in winter.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small owned MIG mix cylinder for gate repairs and hobby welding in the garage
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: fabrication shops with racks of rented argon, MIG mix, oxygen and acetylene
- Farms and smallholdings: oxygen, acetylene and MIG gas for repairing implements, trailers and windpumps
