Solicitud
Un proceso industrial, un equipo o un dispositivo médico que utiliza un gas o una
mezcla de gases.

Temperatura de ignición espontánea


Es la temperatura a partir de la cual una sustancia se enciende
espontáneamente en el aire, en ausencia de una fuente de
energía externa. Este parámetro depende de la presión y
composición de la mezcla en el aire. La temperatura de
autoignición depende de la relación equivalente y hay un mínimo.
Este valor mínimo se considera la temperatura mínima de
autoignición del combustible en el aire, y se menciona en las
tablas.  

Blanqueamiento

La acción de usar productos químicos para blanquear y / o desinfectar materias


como la ropa, la pulpa de madera y las superficies de los materiales.

Gas portador

El gas utilizado para transportar vapor a través de la columna de un cromatógrafo


de gas y líquido, conocido como la fase móvil.

número CAS
The Chemicals Abstracts Service (CAS) assigns this number to
each chemical substance, whether it is a specific molecule, a
mixture of isomers, or a product created from a defined industrial
process. Considering the complexity of the chemical
nomenclature and the possibility to designate a chemical
substance by several names, the CAS number makes it possible to
identify each compound without any ambiguity.

Critical Point
This point is defined by a temperature and a pressure at which, for
a pure substance, the properties of the two phases (liquid and
vapor) are identical. On a phase equilibrium diagram, it is the
highest temperature and pressure of the Liquid-Vapor saturation
curve.

Cryo-condensation

The use of termperatures below -150°C  to condense organic compounds


contained in air or in a gas mixture with objective to clean the gas and/or to
recycle the organic compounds.

Decarburisation

The metallurgy process of reducing the carbon content of a metals, usually steel.

Etching

In this process, a chemical is used to removed layers from the surface of a metal
surface. A masking material is used to protect the surface not to be removed.
Originally used to create artistic printing, it is today a key process for the
fabrication of semi-conductors.

Lyophilization

A process used to preserve a perishable product or make material more


convenient for transport by removing the water in contain.  Also called freeze-
drying, it is taking place in two steps : first the material is frozen, and then the
surrounding pressure is lowered so as to release the solid water as gas
(sublimation).

Metathesis

A chemical reaction between two species that entails the redistribution of chemical
bonds. In olefin metathesis, fragment of alkenes are redistributed between two
species by the scission and formation of carbon-carbon double bonds.

Oxycutting

In oxy-fuel cutting, a torch is used to heat metal to is autoignition temperature. A


stream of oxygen in trained on the metal along the cutting line. The metal
once burnt, flows out as a metal oxide slag.

Reflow  Soldering

Reflow soldering is a method of assembling metal components on a circuit board


surface

Supercritical

When taken above its critical temperature and pressure, a gas is becoming a


supercritical fluid, combining liquid and gas properties.
 

Triple Point
In a pressure-temperature phase diagram, the triple point is
defined by the pressure and temperature at which a pure
substance (one sort of molecule) can be together liquid, gas and
solid. Its three physical states coexist. The three phrase equilibrium
curves (Liquid/Vapor, Solid/Liquid and Solid/Vapor) meet at the
triple point.

UN Code 
A Substance ID Code for goods whose transport is regulated. It is expressed as a a
four digit ID number, as for example : the UN code for argon in a gaseous state is
UN1006 and in a refrigerated liquid state is UN1951.

Wafer

A wafer is a thin (less than 1 mm) circular (typically from 25 to 300 mm) slide of
semiconductor material such as crystalline silicon. Wafer are used for the
fabrication of integrated circuits, semiconductor devices (transistors, ...) and
photovoltaic cells
