Why is liquid nitrogen stored at low pressure in dewars?

Apr 14, 2005 20 Replies

At work, all the liquid nitrogen dewers had flare fittings on the liquid and vapor ports, which matched fittings on the fill station. Then one day all the vapor ports had swagelok fittings, matching a swagelok fitting on the gas line on the fill station. They must have been connected the wrong way just a few too many times.
