Purging definition

Purging means the introduction of inert gas into a tank which is already in an inert condition with the object of further reducing the oxygen content; and/or reducing the existing hydrocarbon or other flammable vapours content to a level below which combustion cannot be supported if air is subsequently introduced into the tank.
Purging means the introduction of inert gas into a tank to reduce the oxygen level so that combustion is not supported; continued purging can reduce the quantity of hydrocarbon vapours to below the LEL such that combustion will not be supported if air is subsequently introduced to the tank.
Purging means displacing contaminants from a confined space; (“purge”)

Purging. This type of media sanitization is a process that protects information from a laboratory attack. The terms clearing and purging are sometimes synonymous. However, for some media, clearing is not sufficient for purging (i.e., protecting data from a laboratory attack). Although most re-writeable media requires a single overwrite, purging may require multiple rewrites using different characters for each write cycle. This is because a laboratory attack involves threats with the capability to employ non-standard assets (e.g., specialized hardware) to attempt data recovery on media outside of that media’s normal operating environment. Degaussing is also an example of an acceptable method for purging magnetic media. The EIEP should destroy media if purging is not a viable method for sanitization. • Destruction: Physical destruction of media is the most effective form of sanitization. Methods of destruction include burning, pulverizing, and shredding. Any residual medium should be able to withstand a laboratory attack.
