The lifespan of helium in a tank depends on several factors, including the size of the tank, the type of valve, and how often it's used.
-
Unopened tanks can last for a year or more if stored at room temperature. However, once the seal is broken, the helium will start to escape.
-
Helium tanks are designed for portability and can be kept on hand for unexpected events. You can use the tank over time, as long as it's properly stored and sealed.
-
The rate of helium leakage is influenced by the temperature and pressure inside the tank. Higher temperatures and pressures lead to faster helium depletion.
-
Latex balloons filled with helium will typically last for 8 to 12 hours, while foil balloons can stay inflated for several days or even weeks.
-
Helium tanks can be refilled at various locations, including party supply stores and gas stations.
It's crucial to note that helium is a non-renewable resource.
