Balloon flying time varies greatly depending on the quality of the balloon you use as well as environment. Smaller latex balloons like 9" balloons often only fly for a 5-6 hours, while 11" latex balloons can fly 8-16 hours. If you need them to fly longer you will need a product called Ultra Hi-Float as well and instruction on how to use it - please contact us for more information. Ultra Hi-Float can be added to your cart by clicking "add to cart" on the image below. Mylar balloons 18" and larger will generally fly indoors for a week or more - Ultra Hi-Float is not used with mylar balloons.
The number of balloons you can fill with each tank will vary depending on several factors, but as a guideline regular 11" balloons require .5 cubic feet of helium to fill correctly. For example a 27 cubic feet tank ("Small") can fill up to 54 11" latex balloons. This is not a guarantee - plan your helium needs accordingly.
Other common balloons requirements:
9" latex balloons - approximiately .25 cubic feet (1/2 as much as an 11" balloon)
16" latex balloons - approximately 1.5 cubic feet (3 times more than 11")
36" latex balloons - filled to 30" = 8 cubic feet (16 times more than an 11")
36" latex balloons - filled to 36" = 15 cubic feet (30 times more than an 11")
18" Mylar balloon - approximately .5 cubic feet (same as the 11" latex)
"Number" Mylar balloons - approximately 1.5 cubic feet (3 times more than the 11" latex)
"Supershape" Mylar balloons - range from 1.5 cubic feet up to 4.5 cubic feet so can use a lot of helium!
"Air Swimmer" remote controlled fish balloons - 4.5 cubic feet!
