We just stated using nitrogen in a selective soldering application a few months ago.
We have been getting dewar tanks that are roughly 5 feet high and 2 ft in diameter (3850 cubic feet I believe).
I have a few questions.
#1-Does the nitrogen naturally leak out of the tank when not in use? and if so where..
I know there is a pressure relief valve so I assumed it only leaks out when the pressure of the vent is exceeded..We did hear this once..scared the pants of anyone around..
We haven't gotten fully up to speed/tooled up,etc.. so there are times when it isn't used and is just sitting there for 2 weeks.
#2-Currently 1 big tank will be completely empty in 2 weeks of NO use. Does this seem right?
Our nitrogen supplier says thats normal but it just seems excessive to me.. 2 weeks and a large tank is totally empty when not even used??
