Which shielding gas may require an in-line heater at high flow rates?

  1. Argon

  2. Helium

  3. CO2

  4. Nitrogen

The correct answer is: CO2

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas can create frost and ice buildup when used at high flow rates, which can cause blockages and damage equipment. An in-line heater is used to prevent this issue and ensure smooth and efficient flow of the gas. Argon, helium, and nitrogen do not have the same issue with high flow rates and therefore would not require an in-line heater.
