Tanks & Pressure Vessels

Messer Canada’s Solutions for Tank Fabrication and Assembly

The fabrication of tanks — from fuel and water storage to pressure vessels and process containers — demands exceptional weld quality, material compatibility, and safety compliance. Messer Canada equips tank manufacturers and repair shops with premium gases, consumables, and protective equipment to ensure consistent results across thick-wall welds, high-integrity seams, and post-weld treatments. Whether manufacturing in-shop or on-site, Messer helps Canadian tank fabricators meet code requirements and production goals with confidence.

Metal Fabrication Gases

Tank construction often involves welding thick sections of carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum — all of which require tailored gas support. Messer’s Ferroline, Inoxline, and Aluline shielding gases are optimized for multi-pass MIG and TIG welding, delivering stable arcs and strong, defect-free welds. For tanks requiring purging or back shielding, our high-purity argon and nitrogen gases help prevent oxidation and contamination, especially critical in food-grade or high-pressure applications.

Ferroline C8

Ferroline C8 is suitable for short-circuited, spray and pulse arc applications in GMAW.

Inoxline N2C3

The Inoxline N2C3 He ZERO mixture is designed for the welding of austenitic and austeniticferritic (duplex) stainless steels.

Aluline He75

Improves weld quality, travel speed, and penetration while reducing ozone generation. Choose Aluline He75 for welding aluminum, copper and their alloys greater than ¼“ thick, providing the fastest travel speed and best weld quality.

Odorline Odourized Oxygen

Odorline odourized oxygen from Messer addresses the very real risk of fire or explosion by providing you with a clear warning smell if oxygen concentrations unintentionally rise.

Metal Fabrication Equipment

Durability and control are essential in tank welding, especially when working in challenging positions or confined spaces. Messer’s SolidARC filler metals and SolidSTRIKE electrodes deliver the performance required for heavy-wall welding, while SolidWELD equipment offers reliability and power for shop or field operations. Safety is paramount in tank work, which is why we recommend ClearVIEW helmets with advanced ADF technology and Gantec Polysafe gear for full-body protection. To support air quality during long weld cycles, AirSTORM fume extractors help maintain a cleaner, safer workspace.

ClearVIEW Premium Welding Helmets

Messer's range of welding helmets and safety equipment is designed to enhance protection and efficiency for welders across all levels of expertise.

MetalSTORM Abrasives & Cutting Disks

MetalSTORM abrasives are designed for cutting, grinding, and finishing applications, offering high-performance cutting discs, grinding wheels, and flap discs.

SolidARC Welding Wire & Rods

SolidARC welding consumables deliver consistent performance, smooth arc stability, and superior weld quality across MIG, TIG, and flux-cored applications.

SolidSTRIKE Stick Electrodes

SolidSTRIKE stick electrodes are designed for smooth arc starts, easy restrikes, and consistent weld quality in MMA welding applications.

AirSTORM Fume Extractors

AirSTORM Fume Extractors provide powerful, high-efficiency filtration to capture weld fumes, dust, and airborne contaminants directly at the source.
