			***Cost efficiency/ease of access of (Mostly) Pure Nitrogen in [[Gas Canisters]]
			****They pointed out that compared to [[Oxygen]] or [[Argon]] / [[Xenon]] etc, it is a bit less valuable of a product
			****Also the obvious cost, especially for VERY dry, in Drying [[Compressed Air]]

New page

=Basics=
*This page aims to lay out the current state of the knowledge base on the performance of [[Dry Nitrogen]] vs [[Dry Compressed Air]] (NOT wet/oil mist filled [[Compressed Air, re: [[Dry vs “Wet” Compressed Air]] ) and if need be, plan/conduct further research on this
*”Dry Nitrogen Fill” is a bit of a gimmick, but there may be some truth to it is the main “gist” of this page

=Internal Links=
*[[Argon vs Carbon Dioxide vs Nitrogen]]
**For systems such as [[Fuel Inerting]] , [[Welding]] , or anything else requiring an [[Inert Gas]] are the differences important?
***At the high temperatures+energy of Welding, CO2 can dissociate (which is in part why it can “cut through” rust/[[Mill Scale]] and such)
