OUTGASSED Meaning and
Definition
-
Outgassing is a term used to describe the process by which a solid or liquid substance releases volatile components into its surrounding environment as a result of heating, evaporation, or decomposition. Specifically, it refers to the release of gases or vapors that have been trapped or absorbed within a material, which are then expelled or released when the material is subjected to certain conditions.
The term is commonly used in the context of space exploration, where the outgassing of materials is a crucial factor to consider due to the vacuum environment in space. When materials or spacecraft components are exposed to the extreme conditions of space, such as high temperatures or low pressures, they may release gases that can potentially contaminate sensitive scientific instruments or affect the performance of equipment. This is why outgassing tests are conducted to assess the amount and composition of gases released from materials under space-like conditions.
In a broader context, the term can also be applied to various industrial processes where materials are subjected to heating, such as in manufacturing, construction, or even everyday appliances. For instance, heating processes used in the production of metals, plastics, or ceramics can cause outgassing of impurities or volatile substances present in the raw materials, which need to be controlled or minimized to ensure product quality and safety.
Overall, outgassing refers to the act of releasing trapped or absorbed gases or vapors from a material due to specific conditions, often with consideration to the potential impacts on the surrounding environment or the performance of related equipment or products.
Etymology of OUTGASSED
The word "outgassed" is derived from the combination of two words: "out" and "gas".
The word "out" is a preposition that indicates movement away or release from a particular location or state.
The word "gas" refers to a substance in a state that is neither solid nor liquid, characterized by its ability to expand and fill its container.
When combined, "out" and "gas" create the term "outgas", which refers to the process of releasing gas from a substance or surface. The addition of the past tense suffix "-ed" gives us the word "outgassed", indicating that the outgassing process has already occurred in the past.
