What KIGL makes and what it supplies

Industrial and medical gases in cylinders and cascades, filled at KIGL's own works in Guwahati and carried beyond it by a network of agents, and the acetylene plants, PSA plants, pipelines and flashback arrestors manufactured at Kolkata. Making gas since 1947, and building the plant that makes it.

Acetylene

The line KIGL has made since 1947, in three grades. They differ in how far the gas has been purified and, at the top, in the solvent — so the grade is chosen against the application, not the headline number.

Industrial gases

Filled at KIGL's own works in Guwahati, in single cylinders and in cascades sized against measured consumption, and supplied through a network of agents across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Odisha and other states.

Medical gases

Regulated as drugs rather than industrial gases — a different specification, a different licence and a different valve. See medical gas standards.

Plant & equipment

KIGL builds the plants that make the gas, and the safety equipment that goes on the line. Very few suppliers anywhere do both.

Pipelines

Reticulated supply from a central source to every point of use. Medical and industrial pipelines are different regulated disciplines and are not built the same way.

Before you buy, three things worth reading

The standards that govern your gas, your cylinder and its next hydrostatic test — including which Indian Standard to quote on a tender.

Safety data sheets for every gas KIGL supplies — sixteen GHS sections each, with signed copies issued against an order reference.

Approvals and licence numbers — PESO, BIS and the factory licence — and what is provided for a government tender or GeM.

Everything on acetylene in one place, and the specialty gases — ultra-high-purity grades, mixtures, helium, hydrogen and nitrous oxide — grouped to separate what KIGL makes from what it supplies.

Cylinder retest intervals — because cylinders age on the calendar, not on how much gas is left in them, and a rack of full cylinders can go overdue where it stands.
