RE: sizing of Nitrogen purge nozzle
It will depend on how quickly you want to purge, and consequently the size of your nitrogen generator. We hired a unit that could do 500 Sm3/h, but we were only purging LPG bullets of around 2000m3, and related piping. The generator had a 2" outlet, so that's the size hose we used.
Connection to the bullets for the purge was via branches in the attached piping, not via specific nozzles.
