Im positive nitrogen has this property. But I will say that we do keep the bladders that we fill is 99.9% pure, moisture free nitrogen.
The bladder is the black rubber piece in the bottom right corner.

Great you have this experience.
Sorry you are not a physicist.
Nitrogen is inert, that is critical in many sealed components- it decreases corrosion and breakdown. True. But it still expands with temperature. You cannot change that.
As you point out, MOISTURE FREE is the key! You get that from a green bottle with a tag that says "99.99% certified moisture free technical grade"
Like I said, so many people have been told "nitrogen doesnt expand" that even 'professionals' will believe this! I am sure you were told this, and now you hold that as a belief. The person that told you- yes, he believes it as well. Sorry to break that bubble, but nitrogen expands.
