20L Nitrogen for Plasma Cutting

  • High‑purity nitrogen for smoother, cleaner plasma cuts
  • 20L capacity for extended operation and fewer changeovers
  • Stable pressure output supporting consistent arc performance
  • Reduces oxidation on sensitive metals and improves edge quality
  • Non‑flammable, inert gas for safe workshop use
  • Compatible with most plasma cutting systems using nitrogen as a primary or secondary gas
  • Reliable performance for light‑to‑medium industrial workloads

Nitrogen is commonly used in plasma cutting as a primary cutting gas or shield gas, depending on the torch and material. It helps maintain a stable arc, reduces oxidation and improves cut quality on a variety of metals.

Typical applications include:

  • General fabrication and sheet‑metal work
  • Automotive repair, brackets and custom parts
  • Agricultural and machinery components
  • HVAC ducting and installation work
  • Mobile engineering and on‑site cutting
  • Prototyping and small‑batch manufacturing

Compatible Metals

Metal Performance Notes
Stainless Steel Smooth, clean edges with reduced oxidation
Mild Steel Stable arc performance on thin‑to‑medium gauges
Aluminium Good for thin sections; helps reduce porosity and roughness
Galvanised Steel Minimises burn‑back and helps preserve coating
Copper & Brass Suitable for thin materials with correct torch settings

FAQs

As a trusted supplier of gas, we frequently get asked questions about gas safety, the difference between butane and propane, as well as the best uses for our gas products. In this blog, we’ll be answering our most common FAQs.

You can place orders online through the Adams Gas shop, by contacting the team by phone or email, or by locating a nearby stockist via their stockist finder. For refills, Adams Gas offers a professional gas cylinder filling service, including collection and re-delivery of customer-owned bottles where required.

Adams Gas supplies a wide range of bottled gases across the UK, including propane, butane, CO₂ (carbon dioxide), helium, argon, nitrogen and welding gases such as MIG and TIG mixtures. They also offer additional services like gas cylinder filling, new cylinders, cylinder testing, third-party storage and transport of dangerous goods.

Cylinder size should be selected based on expected air consumption, required pressure, and how frequently the air supply will be used. Larger cylinders reduce the need for frequent replacements, while smaller cylinders offer greater portability for site work. Adams Gas provides compressed air cylinders in sizes suited to different operational needs.

Compressed air cylinders are commonly used for pressure testing, pneumatic tool operation, tyre inflation support, leak detection, and general workshop tasks where a controlled air supply is needed. Adams Gas supplies compressed air cylinders suitable for trade and industrial environments.

A compressed air gas cylinder is typically chosen when portability, low noise, or temporary air supply is required. It is also suitable where installing or operating a compressor is impractical. Adams Gas supplies compressed air gas cylinders designed to support these professional use cases.

Cutting performance is influenced by fuel gas choice, oxygen purity, correct pressures, nozzle ion, and operator technique. Consistent gas quality plays a key role in achieving clean cuts and efficient operation. Using a trusted supplier like Adams Gas helps ensure dependable performance across jobs.
