In common with other compressed gases, the cylinders in which it is stored may explode if exposed to very high temperatures that cause the gas pressure to rise beyond the level of which the cylinders are designed to handle. Accordingly, gaseous nitrogen cylinder tanks should be stored upright, in a well-ventilated storage area that is dry and cool.
How long a tank of nitrogen gas lasts will depend on its size and pressure, as well as the usage rate of the equipment you need it for.
Nitrogen is an inert gas and is non toxic. However, in the event of a leak, it could displace oxygen in the surrounding air to a level that could cause asphyxiation. Breathing in pure nitrogen is very dangerous and can render a person unconscious in just a couple of breaths. It’s also important to remember that cylinders of nitrogen are stored at high pressure, which means they can also present an explosion hazard.
In its gaseous form, nitrogen will be cold to the touch. It can potentially cause cold burns and injuries as a result of the surrounding air pressure.
As an inert gas, nitrogen is not combustible and will not burn under any ordinary circumstances.
