Hi folks! Question for those folks using nitrogen for an inert atmosphere
in their reflow processes or as a blanket gas on their wave solder
processes. Cryogenic nitrogen is typically 99.998% purity (in terms of O2
content). On-site nitrogen generation equipment can deliver N2 gas ranging
from 99.5% to 99.99% purity (again, in terms of O2 content). What gas
purity level are you using in your processes and do you have a rationale
for selecting that purity level?  The reason for the question is that I am
involved in an exercise of comparing on-site nitrogen generation versus
cryogenic nitrogen supplies.

Thanks in advance for you assistance.
