What causes a pressure tank to lose pressure?

Pressurized tanks are portable, safe, and convenient storage of high volumes of liquid nitrogen. All tanks are equipped with a pressure-building system, which ensures maximum operating pressure of 4 bar. There are regulators that don’t allow pressure to rise, but what about losing pressure?

If your pressure tank starts to lose pressure, that means that the conditions of transportation or storage have been violated and there is a leak of the gas. To avoid this, you need to comply with the rules for the storage of pressurized tanks:

• always read the container label prior to use;
• pressure tanks must always be stored in the upright position;
• pressurized tanks should only be moved with proper handling equipment;
• prior to use, ensure the fittings on the regulator match the fittings on the liquid container;
• never use adaptors;
• never attempt to change or remove any fittings.
• don’t try to modify a pressurized tank by yourself.

These rules will help you to prevent any problems with pressure tanks while using.

Purchase cryogenic pressure tanks only from trusted manufacturers. In case of any problems, contact your seller. Don’t try to solve the problem by yourself, it could be dangerous!
