Liquid Nitrogen Cylinder (5% Hydrogen)

5% Hydrogen Balance Liquid Nitrogen Cylinder – Safety, Regulations, and Applications

Product Overview

The 5% Hydrogen Balance Liquid Nitrogen Cylinder comes in cylinder size T (3.75 m³ volume) with a pressure of 200 bar.

This mixture is composed of 5% hydrogen in 95% nitrogen. When charged into a system or pipework, hydrogen molecules escape through even the smallest leaks. A suitable electronic leak detector can then identify the escaping gas quickly. As a result, this solution saves time on the job and proves more effective than traditional methods such as liquid spray.

Because the mixture is mostly nitrogen, it remains non‑flammable and safe to use.
