In USA, do you need a corporation? I'm looking at the form to fill out for airgas and there's no way it doesn't look suspicious
Is helium or argon easier?

No, you don't need to be a corporation. Many people have welding equipment in their garage. They use shield gases with it. They're not corporations. How are you trying to buy it? Are you trying to have it shipped or something? There's probably an Airgas physical store near you. They're everywhere. What is suspect on their form? Give an example.
Ah got it, I'm online and it's telling me I have to register to look at nitrogen and that to qualify for an account I have to be a corporation. Not the case if I go in person to airgas?
What am I looking at for price and what product? 20cubic feet?

That sounds right. Doesn't the Inert Gas Megathread suggest something bigger than "20 cf" because you may need to do some testing and whatnot? Do you have the ability to haul a gas cylinder? You want pure nitrogen, no mixtures. And remember, you're just looking at cost of gas. Renting a cylinder is more money. You can also buy your own cylinder.
I don't know anything about this shit. Reading it is like a different language. This is so sad that I can't leave this place.
Edit the cylinder is like 65 lbs isn't it.

Yeah, it feels like I'm talking to strange scientists from another dimension around here sometimes...

Honestly, not sure about weight. But, for whatever size cylinder, that's easily searchable. Really, you need to try and find some energy and motivation to read through the Inert Gas Megathread before even trying to get some nitrogen. Getting everything you need and setting it all up isn't really hard, but it can be overwhelming when you don't know anything about it to start with. Most everything you need to know is in that thread.
