Technical Data
Connections
Low voltage via VIO electrosurgical unit
HF via VIO electrosurgical unit
Terminal for potential equalisation yes
Gas specification
Type of gas Argon
Argon minimum purity Argon 4.8 (99.998% purity) or higher, e.g. argon 5.0.
Density (relative; air = 1) 1.38
Critical temperature –122 °C
Color Colorless gas
Odor No warning by smell
Concentration of explosion limit (vol. % in air) Non-combustible
Special risks Heat/fire can result in an increase in pressure caus-
ing the pressure gas bottle to explode! Gas in high
concentrations can be suffocating!
