	Inert gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unlike the noble gases an inert gas is not necessarily elemental and are often molecular gases.
		Thus the inert gas is used as a passive preservative, preventing biological decay, while being undetectable to the consumer since taste and olfactory senses require a chemical reaction to take place in order to send a signal to the brain.
		In gas metal arc welding inert gases are used to shield the heated metal from the reactive gases in air which can cause undesirable reactions in the metal.

	Inert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, the term inert is used to describe something that is not chemically active.
		It is now understood that the reason that inert gases are completely inert to basic chemical reactions (such as combustion, for example), is because their outer valence shell is completely filled with electrons.
		The inertness of nitrogen is due to the presence of the very strong triple covalent bond in the N

	The use of inert gas in winemaking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The main purpose to use inert gas in the headspace (ullage) of a wine container is to protect the wine against oxidation and spoilage by yeast and bacteria.
		Gas can be taken from the gas cylinder through a regulator that reduces the gas pressure to the maximum that the gas line can handle.
		Inert gas is then pushed into the vessel via a tube connected to the wand.

		inert gas or noble gas, any of the elements in group 0 of the periodic table.
		The low chemical activity of the inert gases is due to the fact that their outermost, or valence, electron shell is complete, containing two electrons in the case of helium and eight in the remaining cases.
		The inert gases are sometimes called the rare gases, although argon is not rare (it makes up about 1% of the atmosphere) and helium is commercially extracted from natural gas and the atmosphere.

	Inert Gas Welding
		An inert gas surrounds the arc and shields it from the ambient to prevent oxidation.

	Deaths Involving the Inadvertent Connection of Air-line Respirators to Inert Gas Supplies
		Inert gases such as helium, argon, and nitrogen are widely used in industrial settings as fire suppression blankets for flammable work in confined spaces, to operate pneumatic equipment, and to prevent oxidation in industrial processes.
		When a respirator’s air line is connected to a source of inert gas rather than to breathable air, the respirator wearer who trusts his/her sense of breathlessness to determine whether he/she is connected to breathing air has little warning before losing consciousness.
		The one on the right was labeled “natural gas.” The gas line on the left had a paper tag attached with the word “air” handwritten on it; however, this line actually contained pure nitrogen.

	Risks of Inert Gases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Newly assembled equipment which uses inert or any other gas should be thoroughly leak checked by a timed gas pressure drop test, supplemented by testing with an approved leak test fluid which is compatible with the equipment for which it is being used.
		All gas welding and heating processes involve taking oxygen from the air and can lead to a deficiency unless the volume of workspaces and their ventilation is sufficient.
		Apparatus used for the manufacture, distribution and utilisation of inert gases must be installed and identified in accordance with the recommendations of the industrial gas industry, and must comply with whatever regulations are applicable.

		Once a tank is inerted and the tank openings closed and sealed, inert gas will leak out of the tank at such a small rate that the IGS may need to be operated only intermittently to maintain the inert tank atmosphere.
		Since the greatest need for inert gas is during offloading, the blower capacity is set at 125 percent of the maximum rated capacity of the cargo pumps.
		To prevent the blowers from overheating when there is no demand for inert gas in the cargo tanks, and to allow gas concentration to be developed during startup, a recirculating line is fitted to return the blower discharge to the scrubber.

	Inert gas system
		Gas freeing- Opposite to inerting and is the replacement of an inert atmosphere with one of fresh air.
		The choice of whether an inert gas system is fitted to a vessel is based on the initial cost of installation and maintenance, the planned cargos to be carried and the possibility of the being tainted by the inert gas and the possibility that the inert gas system in itself will introduce a risk.
		The use of the term Inert Gas is a misnomer in so far as the true inert gasses such as Helium and argon are prohibitively expensive to use.

	Reference Data Sheet on Inert Gases and Atmospheres
		Inert gases such as helium or argon are used during welding to prevent oxidation of the metals during the process.
		Inert gases are also used in some furnace operations in which metals are processed, in order to reduce or eliminate the production of oxides and scale.
		In tank removal operations, it is common to purge such tanks with an inert gas, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, to avoid an explosion during removal of the flammable material.

		[1] Since most inert gases are chemically inert and their outer electrons are almost completely unaffected by neighboring atoms, one might argue that inert gases lack valence electrons.

	Job knowledge for welders 6: Tungsten inert gas (TIG or GTA) welding
		Using an inert gas shield instead of a slag to protect the weldpool, the process was a highly attractive replacement for gas and manual metal arc welding.
		In the TIG process the arc is formed between a pointed tungsten electrode and the workpiece in an inert atmosphere of argon or helium.
		It should be noted that because of the large amount of heat generated at the electrode, it is difficult to maintain a pointed tip and the end of the electrode assumes a spherical or 'ball' profile.

	THE TERNARY GAS PLASMA WELDING TORCH
		The increase in performance that the Ternary Gas Plasma Welding Torch achieves is attributed to a secondary inert gas acting in conjunction with the primary inert gas to provide a substantially "stiffer" arc from the electrode of the torch than a typical single inert gas provides.
		The primary inert plasma gas is directed through the body of the welding torch and out of the body across the tip of a welding electrode disposed at the forward end of the body.
		The secondary plasma gas may be any of the inert gases or semi-reactive gases or a mixture of two or more of these, however the choice is dependent on the material being welded and the results desired.
