OUTGAS Meaning and
Definition
-
Outgas is a verb that refers to the process of releasing or emitting gases or vapors from a substance. It specifically describes the phenomenon where gases trapped within a solid or liquid material are released into the surrounding atmosphere or environment.
When a material is subjected to certain conditions such as heating, vacuum, or pressure changes, the trapped gases within it become liberated and escape. This release of gases is known as outgassing. It commonly occurs in various substances such as polymers, metals, plastics, adhesives, paints, coatings, and even certain foods.
Outgassing is particularly significant in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, and automotive where the emissions of volatile substances can affect the performance, reliability, and safety of products. It can result in the formation of bubbles, defects, or residues on surfaces, impacting the quality and functionality of materials or equipment.
To mitigate the potential negative effects of outgassing, various techniques are employed. These may include pre-treatment or baking processes to remove or reduce the trapped gases before their release becomes problematic. Testing and analysis of materials can also be carried out to determine the levels and types of gases that may be released, enabling engineers to design products that meet specific outgassing requirements.
In summary, outgassing is the process of releasing gases or vapors from a solid or liquid substance, which can have implications for various industries and applications.
Etymology of OUTGAS
The word "outgas" is derived from the combination of two words: "out" and "gas".
The word "out" is from the Old English word "ūt", which means "outside" or "away from". It has roots in the Proto-Germanic language.
The word "gas" comes from the Greek word "khaos", which originally referred to the formless void or nothingness. Over time, it evolved to represent any substance that is neither a solid nor a liquid and can freely expand and fill a space.
Combining these two words, "outgas" was formed to describe the process of releasing or emitting gas from a substance, particularly in a vacuum or low-pressure environment. It is often used in scientific and technical contexts to describe the phenomenon of gases escaping from materials, such as solids or liquids.
