Gerrit, yes Air Liquide is the main source.  Currently  R550 ex vat.  Afrox
goes up to R980.00.
As far as oxygen is concerened, that price co insides with the of industrial
grade.  I use
Medical or aviation.  Air liquide provide 14Kg of Medical at around R140.

Where do you get your helium and O2?  Air Liquide provides me with
helium at R500 per 1.6kg and O2 at R50 (+R25 for cylinder/month) per
7.6kg.
