Helium Gas Cylinder Information

The number of balloons a cylinder fills depends on the balloon size, shape and material. A larger balloon needs more gas, so compare like-for-like sizes when checking cylinder capacities.

Start with the quantities and sizes in your display, then use our helium calculator to estimate the total volume. The chart is a useful reference, but actual yields can vary with the balloon brand and filling technique.

Check the specification of your chosen cylinder and its compatible filling kit before ordering. If your plan includes unusual shapes or large display balloons, our team can help you interpret the estimate.
