Helium is a
  • Totally inert
  • Colourless
  • Odourless
  • Non-toxic &
  • Non-flammable gas.

Being inert it is an asphyxiant and must not be breathed. 

It is considerably lighter than air and thus, if required in bulk is shipped in cryogenic containers. Its density is 0.169 kg/m3. (i.e. 0.138 relative to the density of air at sea level atmospheric conditions) Its boiling and melting point are the lowest among all the elements. 

Applications

  • TIG & MIG welding gas mixtures
  • Pressure testing (i.e. instead of air or Nitrogen.) for detection of minute (tiny) leaks
  •  As liquid in Cryogenic coolers and liquefiers due to its low liquefaction temperature
  •  Balloon inflation
  • Carrier gas in chromatography & various scientific applications depending on its purity
  •  Gas lasers
  • Medical gas mixtures
