1. How to maintain health & environment safety while handling liquid nitrogen?

2. Introduction
www.inoxindia.com
Liquid Nitrogen, scientifically identified as
LN2, is a powerful cryogenic majorly used
in research labs, manufacturing industries
& healthcare.
It is extensively cold (-320˚F) and
produces an extremely cold gas at
vaporization.

3. Introduction
www.inoxindia.com
These properties make it a dangerous
cryogenic to handle.
It should always be stored in specifically
designed Liquid Nitrogen Tanks to avoid
harmful threats.

4. Introduction

It should be noted that liquid oxygen
tanks should never be used to liquid
nitrogen.
Some manufacturers make this mistake
but interchanging this location can result
in combustion because both have
different elemental properties.

5. Common risks associated with liquid nitrogen

It is necessary to undertake safety
measures at the workplace while handling
liquid nitrogen containers.
Carelessness can result in damage to
property & life.

6. Common risks associated with liquid nitrogen
www.inoxindia.com
Liquid nitrogen vaporizes to gas almost
650 times the liquid volume. It reduces
the oxygen in the air by 19% which can
cause asphyxiation.
The low temperatures result in cold burns
that can leave the skin damaged
permanently.
Enormous pressure can build up inside the
Liquid Nitrogen Dewar which can result in
explosion in a closed system.

Install oxygen monitor & alarms to know
when the levels are below normal.
The tank should never be stored in a
sealed room and no more than 25L should
be kept in a room.
Always utilize approved & unsealed Liquid
Nitrogen Dewar and provide proper
ventilation to let the remnants escape
from the container.
