How Safe, Fill Tires with Nitrogen

In addition to use wind, now a few tire shops also provide nitrogen gas (N2) to be filled to the wheels. So replace the contents, close pentilnya also be exchanged with the color green. In addition to Jakarta, a few big cities have set up N2.

Many advantages with N2 rather than relying on all four wheels wind. However, the price for each tire is quite expensive compared to the use of wind. To ban a range between Rp 7,500 and Rp 20,000. N2 can also be filled on a motorcycle.

What are the benefits.
1. Nitrogen does not easily come out of pore-pore tires because particles greater than the normal wind. So, too often do not need to fill in the wind. Even though it is, in general, have a lot of tires that have the womb of nitrous oxide buthyl create moisture (in the pneumatic tires) can not be absorbed to the pore-pore.

2. N2 is lighter weight of the wind and heavy molekulnya also lower, ie, 14 atom 16 atom proportionate.

3. Not easy to heat and air pressure in the tires is more stable. Nitrogen is due to the nature of the cold and not so easy to react, when melesat car at high speed, tekanannya remain stable. Not so with the pneumatic tire.

4. Better mileage due to be rubber-lasting because the nature of the cold nitrogen affected.

5. Velg avoid corrosion, especially for tubeless tires due to a lack of moisture. Generally, the actual nitrogen has at least 93 percent standard, considered without moisture.

Here is info for the owner when the vehicle tires to the carpenters nitrgoen:
1. Remove the tire air valve accompanied by the release.

2. Once issued, the contents of 80-85 percent of the N2 pressure ideally. Such as thin profile tires, if it should be filled 40 Psi, to use this, simply fill 32-34 Psi.

3. Then, do the points 1 (un-nitrogen) and re-fill (valve not installed). The goal is that, when charging, Feed the two pure N2.

4. Place the valve and continue with the return to the ideal. * (Source: Kompas)
