– Commonly used for industrial purposes.
– CGA connections include CGA 580, CGA 677, CGA 680, and CGA 718.
– Example: Size 40 High-Pressure Steel Cylinder (Industrial use Only), CGA 580.
Application
Industry Nitrogen Gas has various applications across different industries, including:
Inerting and blanketing: Nitrogen gas creates an inert atmosphere in industrial processes. It displaces oxygen to prevent combustion, oxidation, and degradation of materials, protecting them from fire hazards and preserving their quality.
Purging and flushing: Nitrogen gas is employed for purging or flushing out air or unwanted gases from pipelines, tanks, and equipment. This helps to ensure clean and safe conditions, remove contaminants, and prepare systems for maintenance or product changeovers.
Cooling and cryogenic processes: Nitrogen gas is utilized for cooling purposes in industrial applications. It can also be used in cryogenic processes to achieve extremely low temperatures, enabling precise control and preservation of materials and facilitating cryogenic grinding and freezing.
Pressurizing and leak testing: Nitrogen gas can be used to pressurize systems, test for leaks, and check the integrity of pipelines, tanks, and other equipment. It helps identify potential leaks or weaknesses in the system, ensuring safety and reliability.
Chemical manufacturing: Nitrogen gas plays a vital role in the chemical industry. It is used as a reactant or carrier gas in chemical reactions and for purging and maintaining an inert atmosphere during sensitive chemical processes.
Electronics manufacturing: Nitrogen gas is employed in the electronics industry for various applications, including soldering, wave soldering, and reflow soldering. It helps prevent oxidation, ensuring clean and reliable solder joints.
Food and beverage industry: Nitrogen gas is used in the food and beverage industry for packaging, preservation, and carbonation. It displaces oxygen, extends product shelf life, maintains freshness, and creates the desired effervescence in carbonated beverages.
Metalworking and heat treatment: Nitrogen gas is utilized in metalworking processes such as heat treatment, annealing, and hardening. It helps prevent oxidation, control atmosphere conditions, and enhance metals’ mechanical properties.
