General 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 causing the
pressure gas bottle to explode! Gas in high concentrations
can be suffocating!
Gas-specific unit data

Pa 2 ± 0.4 bar 29 ± 5.8 psi
Variable gas flow 0.1 - 8 l/min limited by the instrument attached, adjustable
in 0.1 l increments
Tolerance of the rated flow (in range 0.2 - 5 l/min) ± 20 %
Purging flow Depending on the instrument (corresponds to the setpoint
flow of the instrument which is currently connected)
Purging time 3 sec.
