INERT GASES

Inert gases, characterized by their natural presence in the atmosphere, which gives them a zero global warming potential and a zero destructive effect on the ozone layer, are non-corrosive gases and can be used at normal temperatures with materials such as nickel-plated steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, or bronze. They are also non-conductive, colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

Inert gases are stored in compressed form in high-pressure cylinders (200 or 300 bar).

APPLICATIONS

Inert gases are suitable for protecting equipment and machinery that require an electrically non-conductive gas. Areas of importance or risk are where inert gases are the appropriate protective agents. These include computer rooms, electronic equipment rooms, radio or television transmission equipment rooms, laboratories, flammable gas and liquid rooms, and oil-producing plants.
