Discussion Large 10L cylinder Nitrogen 99.8% purity or 5L cylinder with food grade 99.99% nitrogen

[martinso67]

In a hypothetical dilemma where I had only the possibility to choose between:
- PRODUCT A#: 10 Liter (2 cubic meter, 70 cubic feet) with 99.8% purity nitrogen
OR
- PRODUCT B#: 5 Liter (1 cubic meter, 35 cubic feet) wth 99.99% food grade purity nitrogen

Both are from a reputable seller and certified. But I can't get anything different. The impurities don't matter in this scale anymore?? Oxygen impurities would be less than 0.2%.

Product A as there is not much difference in purity

This should be fine. 0.2% oxygen is definitely not enough to allow your body to continue functioning. Ambient air is ~21% O2, so this is like 0.9% of the concentration found in ambient air.

I would opt for the 10L tank, as it would be able to flow longer and ensure your heart stops before the gas runs out.

Even 99.0 % Nitrogen is unsurvivable, so get A, the larger tank

I will have to rent a car to transport the gas bottle. The local tools store where I will buy the gas is somewhat too far. I can't take the gas bottle that far by feet.
