👉 The lifetime fluid, also known as the lifetime gas or inert gas, is a non-reactive and chemically stable component that fills the volume within a container, typically a gas cylinder or tank. It serves as a protective barrier between the reactive materials inside and the external environment, preventing unwanted reactions such as oxidation or contamination. This fluid is usually inert, meaning it does not readily react with other substances under normal conditions, ensuring the safety and integrity of the stored gases. Common examples of lifetime fluids include helium, argon, and nitrogen, which are selected based on their properties to suit specific applications, such as cryogenics or high-pressure storage.
