RE: Nitrogen Blanket

i didn't realize that the physics of N2 purging is this heavy. ive trouble shoot and lineup some N2 blanketing/inerting system for our above storage tank and know what - most of the time the control valves doesnt work properly (out of calib.). Operation dont mind since they're interested only that a slight positive pressure is maintained.
