  2. Gaseous fire suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_fire_suppression

    Canisters containing argon gas for use in extinguishing fire in a server room without damaging equipment. Gaseous fire suppression, also called clean agent fire suppression, is the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire.

  3. Argon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon

    Argon is a chemical element; it has symbol Ar and atomic number 18. It is in group 18 of the periodic table and is a noble gas. [10] Argon is the third most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere, at 0.934% (9340 ppmv).

  4. Hot isostatic pressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_isostatic_pressing

    The HIP process subjects a component to both elevated temperature and isostatic gas pressure within a high-pressure containment vessel, unlike the cold isostatic pressing(CIP), where the component is maintained at room temperature. [2] The pressurizing gas most widely used is argon. An inert gas is used so that the material does not chemically ...

  7. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    For instance, argon, krypton, and xenon form clathrates with hydroquinone, but helium and neon do not because they are too small or insufficiently polarizable to be retained. [61] Neon, argon, krypton, and xenon also form clathrate hydrates, where the noble gas is trapped in ice. [62] An endohedral fullerene compound containing a noble gas atom

  8. Air separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_separation

    Use of modern structured packings which have very low pressure drops enable argon with less than 1 ppm impurities. Though argon is present in less to 1% of the incoming, the air argon column requires a significant amount of energy due to the high reflux ratio required (about 30) in the argon column.

  9. Asphyxiant gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphyxiant_gas

    An asphyxiant gas, also known as a simple asphyxiant, is a nontoxic or minimally toxic gas which reduces or displaces the normal oxygen concentration in breathing air. Breathing of oxygen-depleted air can lead to death by asphyxiation (suffocation).
