General Technical Data
Connections
Low voltage Via VIO 3 electrosurgical unit
HF Via VIO 3 electrosurgical unit
Grounding terminal 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 / -187.6 °F
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!
