degassing
Expelling dissolved gases
Degassing is removing dissolved or trapped gases from a liquid, solid, or enclosed space.
The process appears in manufacturing, food processing, and scientific applications: degassing molten metal prevents air bubbles in castings, degassing wine before bottling.
Vacuum chambers and heating are common degassing methods.
The word also describes venting gases from spacecraft or equipment before operation.
