Hi! Ill be receiving a nitrogen gas canister, and just have a couple of safety questions.1) is it safe to store in a garage? Obviously a well ventilated area is ideal, but this canister is being delivered to a residential home, so options are limited. I live in a cold area, and my garage is never more than 120 degrees F. My concern is that the area I live in an area prone to large temperature changes in a short amount of time. Is this a hazard to be concerned of? Will this cause the canister to explode in my garage? Ive tried to look online to answer this and have found nothing.2) Everything online says that a cart is recommended. I do not have a cart or something wheeled to briefly move a canister. With that being said, is there a specific way I should be moving the canister with my hands, as to prevent any leaking or explosion?3) Once this canister is used and empty, can I just throw it away? I have tried to find an answer to this online as well, but I am unable to find a straightforward answer. If k cant just throw away the empty canister, what do I do once it is empty?4) I see many people on here saying that getting compressed gas canisters delivered from online isnt really an option, and that the only real way to purchase compressed gas canisters is at a local welder shop or gas supplier shop. This $240 canister was purchased online and is being delivered to me, though? Should I be concerned about legitimacy of the product since its usually very difficult to find companies that sell compressed gasses online typically? I can provide a link to where I bought it from online if thatd help.5) When stored in the garage, is it safe to hav boxes or other objects against the canister to ensure it doesnt fall?6) Since I am someone who is unfamiliar and has done basic research on safety with gas canisters, is there anything else regarding safety youd like to mention? My biggest concern is safety, so any and all replies are helpful. Thank you!

I wouldn't be concerned much about ventilation (almost 80% of what you're breathing now is Nitrogen) Temperature's not a factor There is no Explosion danger other than the fact that it's under pressureOnce empty it's worth, depending on it's size, real money, put an ad in the paper maybeNitrogen is so safe it Can be shippedBasic safety would be, when it's being used it should be secured (strap it to something) because it's, screw-on cap is Off. When not it use or it's being moved, that cap should be on it. The only concern with it is that, somehow, it could get dropped HARD on it's un-cappeed valve and that valve could shear off, vent that high pressure suddenly causing the Opposite-and-Equal reaction from that discharge, and have the tank propelled at a good rate (you'd have to really screw-up to have this happen).
But I gotta ask, what are you doin' with it? For $240 I assume it's pretty a small tank...Last edited by BaTu; 1 Day Ago at 01:59 PM.

Reply:His bullet #4 has me thinking that this is a pressure tank, maybe an 80 because it was $240...

Reply:Its for nitrogen gas, a pressurized cylinder. The canister comes prefilled. 221 liters. Realized I shouldve added this in my main post, my apologies
Reply:A pressure tank has low temperature melting disk in safety valve. It will help put the fire 🔥 out too. Dave
