For my scuba mask setup, I have a 20 N gas cylinder which has a purity of 99.999%. I've seen it mentioned on the internet the shelf life is 3 years depending on the quality of the cylinder. Does anybody know how important the expiration date is on the cylinder? How much further out I could reliably use the N. Because of the large tank, I'm more worried about the purity. Any further info would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a quote from the internet
"Over time, the amount of gas in the bottle may diminish or disappear entirely. Time, environment changes, and reactions to other chemicals can all deteriorate the amounts and quality of gas in your cylinder. Gas concentration is also a factor that can change the shelf life of a gas bottle."
