Nitrogenium is classified as inert gas. By volume, its share in the Earth atmosphere is the largest (over 78%). Liquefied nitrogen is produced by low-temperature air separation. Then, nitrogen gas is produced from liquefied nitrogen.

  • Gas under pressure
  • colorless
  • odorless
  • asphyxiant
  • slightly lighter than air.

Nitrogen has a wide range of applications in various industrial sectors. For example:

  • creating an inert atmosphere during transportation, storage
  • metal processing under high temperature conditions
  • metal pipe preservation
  • chromatography (in medicine)
  • research purposes
  • enterprises working with food products and beverages
  • metal processing in the metallurgical industry.

When transporting, pure nitrogen gas is classified as hazardous cargo. In its gaseous state, this substance can be transported by any type of ground transport (automobile, rail, or water). Inert gas is transported in steel cylinders under pressure. All containers must comply with strict GOST standards.

During transportation or storage, gas cylinders should not be heated, dropped, or subjected to any other impacts. Overheating or heavy impact creates a risk of explosion.

Nitrogen is not hazardous to the environment or ecology. It is not toxic. However, inhaling a large amount of the substance can be life-threatening. When working with nitrogen, it is necessary to monitor the oxygen level in the surrounding space. It should not be below 19%.

Pure nitrogen is dangerous when transporting
