nitrogen tank
Pressurized element storage
A nitrogen tank is a pressurized cylinder containing nitrogen gas, used in welding, food preservation, tire inflation, and laboratory applications.
Liquid nitrogen tanks—insulated vessels called dewars—store nitrogen at extremely cold temperatures for cryogenic purposes: The sperm samples are kept in a nitrogen tank.
The term sometimes appears in contexts involving asphyxiation, as nitrogen displaces oxygen in enclosed spaces.
