Confermo. Mettendo "flussaggio di gas" su Google: Con il termine di flussaggio si intende l'operazione di spostamento ed allontanamento, grazie ad un fluido di trasporto, di sostanze o contaminanti di varia natura presenti all'interno di tubazioni, apparecchiature o sezioni di impianti.

On Feb. 7, a gas blow operation was being performed in which flammable natural gas was pumped under high pressure through new fuel gas lines to remove debris. During this operation, an extremely large amount of natural gas was vented into areas where it could not easily disperse. Welding and other work was being performed nearby. The explosion occurred when the gas contacted an ignition source.

“These employers blatantly disregarded well-known and accepted industry procedures and their own safety guidelines in conducting the gas blow operation in a manner that exposed workers to fire and explosion hazards,” said OSHA Administrator David Michaels. “We see this time and time again across industries when companies deliberately ignore safety precautions in the interest of completing jobs quickly, and workers end up being killed or seriously hurt.”


It's not about "flow".

Gas blows are used to clean out construction debris from pipes by forcing natural gas at high pressures.
