After the device is overhauled and the system is purged with nitrogen, how is the oxygen content level determined? What is the standard based on?

After maintenance, the system is purged with nitrogen; how is the oxygen content level determined? What is the standard based on? I glanced through the operation manuals for several sets of equipment; some specify that the oxygen content after nitrogen displacement should be no more than 0.2%, while others specify no more than 0.5%. The standards vary, and I’m not sure what determines them Please talk about your situations.
What is the standard for nitrogen purging after the maintenance of liquefied gas cylinders?
It is usually based on the nitrogen standard. If the standard for nitrogen is 0.5, how can it be reduced to 0.2? Secondly, based on the oxygen requirements of the storage medium; if such requirements exist
After maintenance, when the flare system is put into operation, is nitrogen purging used? Are there any specifications regarding oxygen content in case of such purging?
Generally, less than 1% should be sufficient to prevent combustion.
That makes sense; I agree with you, thumbs up.
The purity of nitrogen in refineries is 99.999%, which means five 9s, and this has nothing to do with the standards for nitrogen
I just want to ask about the standards for replacing liquefied gas cylinders (which store liquefied gas); does anyone know?
The purity of nitrogen should be no less than 99.9%~~Indeed, some processes require the nitrogen level to be reduced to below 0.5%, while others demand it to be below 0.2%~~But since you have nitrogen with a purity of 99.9%, then a purity level of 0.2% is sufficient for such processes. Of course, if cost is a concern, a purity level of 0.5% will do; after all, when liquefied gas is placed in an atmosphere of nitrogen containing 0.5% oxygen, it won’t pose any risk of combustion or explosion~~
It is determined by the properties of the medium being displaced; the explosion limit range is less than 0.2, and then there’s also the case where it’s less than 0.5. I can’t remember the exact numerical values
