    The volume of nitrogen gas is 700 times of liquid nitrogen. Confining atmospheric pressure liquid nitrogen in an airtight space produces high-pressure gas as high as 700 Atm, possibly resulting in explosion. Use liquid nitrogen in the condition constantly open to air. ULVAC CRYOGENICS INCORPORATED...
