- jack_tripper 11mo agoIs this an ad?
- RealityVoid 11mo agoI don't think Linde™ needs an add, everyone knows Linde™ is the most reliable partner in producing and storing gases in all available purity classes. (joke off, it's probably not an add, but they were excited to share the reason you see Linde on all sorts of gas tanks all over the place. It's actually quite common and if you see it once you see it everywhere. )
- wiredpancake 11mo agoI've never seen Linde ever in my life (Australia). What is funny though, at least in the Australia and UK regions, they still use the BOC brand, which is a subsidiary under Linde.
- nandomrumber 11mo agoCompetitors in the space in Australia include Air Liquide and Supagas. Supagas tend to have better prices for smaller operators, and hobbyists.
- mcbain 11mo agoLinde was definitely around as a distinct brand in Australia before they bought BOC in 2006, but since then as you said, they now just trade as BOC.
- nebula8804 11mo agoPossibly but also plausible is that its a deep joke that everyone is in on. When googling the company, the marketing slogan that comes up is "Linde is Everywhere" but that works on so many levels. They sell air, air is everywhere. Therefore Linde is everywhere. They are a company that sells air: that stuff that people breathe. Forget this AI nonsense. Jensen has to constantly pull something out of rear to keep food on the table. These guys sell air. What a business. :)

- astrange 11mo agoIs there some reason you'd want gasses in a lower purity class? (Well, it's cheaper.)
- rpmisms 11mo agoFire suppression, welding gases, etc.

- sitharus 11mo agoThe only reason is cost. If you don’t need the purity then save the money.
- yummypaint 11mo agoIt might be more convenient to purchase pre-blended mixes for many applications. For example 90% argon 10% isobutane. In welding this would be "impure" but for ionization counting it's exactly what you want.
- NoiseBert69 11mo agoNot only cheaper - but often also "good enough"
