nitrogen at 275 F
nitrogen at 275 F
(OP)
I have a tire that is nitrogen filled at 145 psi. I have to weld a small plate on the rim. The temperature that is transfered to the nitrogen due to the welding process is 275 F. The nytrogen is exposed to that temperature max 15 min.
How will the nitrogen respond to that temperature?

The safety issue is not from nitrogen heating up, per se, but from the other accidental possibilities of rupturing the beadline or sidewall from the torch itself, or from the beadline breaking from the heat directly transmitted through the rim.
There's always an admonition about unplugging appliances before repairing them. I suggest that you deflate the tire to a safe pressure and then do the work. Nothing will ruin your day like an accidental slip of the torch causing an explosive rupture.

Nitrogen does not react at such a low temperature. Nitrogen is used in plasma cutting at temperatures over 2000F.
