Yes, you can buy nitrogen gas from various suppliers. A Meritus Gas Partners distributor, for example, offers both pure and low-purity nitrogen gas, along with localized service.
Here's a breakdown of how you can obtain nitrogen gas:
-
Industrial Gas Suppliers: Companies specializing in industrial gases (like Meritus Gas Partners) are a primary source. They offer various grades of nitrogen gas in different cylinder sizes or even bulk supply options. Contact them to locate a supplier in your area.
-
Welding Supply Stores: Many welding supply stores also carry nitrogen gas, as it's used in certain welding processes.

Online Retailers (with caution): While some online retailers might offer small nitrogen gas cylinders, exercise caution and ensure the supplier is reputable and complies with all safety regulations.
Considerations when buying nitrogen gas:

-
Quantity: Determine the amount of nitrogen gas you need. This will help you choose the right cylinder size or bulk delivery option.
