3 purges is adequate. that is what we do with our chemical plant reactors.

as for not getting ultra high purity N2, they are likely using the cheap method of a pressure swing absorption unit which gets you to 98%.

i have access to 99.99% N2 for free and have not bothered filling the tires with it. if i get bored i will, but i do not think the benefit is that dramatic for track days.

i think it is all hype, so dealers can charge $75 for N2 tire fills while the nitrogen is uber cheap.
