Argon

Argon is the most abundant member of the rare gas family, accounting for about 1% of the earth’s atmosphere. It is monatomic and inert, forming no known chemical compounds. In its liquid form, it has no taste, color, or odor on top of being non-corrosive, non-flammable, and extremely cold.

The extreme coldness comes from it being a cryogenic liquid with a boiling point of –303°F (–186°C). Special equipment like an argon cryogenic storage tank from cryogenic storage tank manufacturers is required to safely store liquid argon. The storage tank’s main purpose is to keep this surrounding heat away from the product as the temperature difference is quite significant.

What Will Happen if Liquid Argon Is Not Stored Properly?

Even though it is one of the main ingredients for creating life, it can also be life-threatening in its liquid form. Some of the major issues it can cause if not properly stored are listed below.

• Reduce Oxygen Level in the AirAlthough argon is a nontoxic and mainly an inert gas, It can act as an asphyxiant by reducing the amount of oxygen in the air to levels below what is required to sustain life. When oxygen levels are low, unconsciousness and death can occur in seconds, and without warning.
• Burns and Tissue DamageExposure to liquid argon or cold argon vapors can cause extensive tissue damage and cryogenic burns. While investing in cryogenic storage tanks go with well-reputed cryogenic storage tank manufacturers like Brise Chemical, as low-quality tanks can be a serious health and financial hazard.
