Liquid argon

Argon gas that has been converted to a colourless liquid by cooling it to a temperature below 186ºC.

Liquid is the highest purity form in which argon is supplied. It is also far more efficient to store argon as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas since each volume of liquid will give 822 volumes of gas when it is converted to gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Liquid argon is frequently used as a source of very pure argon gas for use in hot isostatic pressing and heat treatment atmospheres.

Properties:	Boiling point	-186°C
	Density	1394kg/m3
	Relative density	1.39 (Water = 1)
	Ratio to volume of gas	1 : 822 (At room temperature)
