![]() clare at snyder.on.ca wrote in message ... And ordinary compressed air is already 80% nitrogen. But the oxygen and ozone, along with a few other gasses does accellerate the deterioration of the rubber, and the nitrogen stays in better than the rest (co2 included) Also more temperature stable, pressure-wize. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I'm not 100% sure what Clare means by "more temperature stable, pressure wise.", but all gasses follow Boyle's law, which is Pressure x Volume = Number of moles x Avogadro's number x Temperature... PV=NRT. Essentially, for a given temperature increase, all gasses expand (or increase pressure, given a fixed volume) at the same ratio. KB |
