What is Nitrous Oxide?

• Nitrous oxide at room temperature and atmospheric pressure one have a colorless gas with a sweet odor and taste.
• Nitrous oxide is not flammable but is involved in combustion.
• This gas decomposes into nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures.
• The decomposition process in the absence of catalysts at temperatures below 649 ⁰C is negligible.
• Nitrous oxide is slightly soluble in water, alcohol, and oils.
• Nitrous oxide is most commonly used as an anesthetic gas.

Available grades:

% 99.5-% 99.998-% 99.999-% 99.9999

Tanks and maintenance:

• Nitrous oxide can be stored and transported in all cylinders and tanks under the crust.

Compatible and incompatible materials:

1. Nitrous oxide is non-corrosive.
2. This gas can be in the vicinity of many common metals.
3. Due to the oxidizing property (ability to combine with oxygen) in nitrous oxide, all equipment used in the presence of nitrous oxide, especially at high pressure must be free of any combustible materials such as oil, grease, and other materials.
4. Nitrous oxide can cause some elastomers to swell.
