What should I expect in terms of weight of CO2 when the LFS refills my CO2 Cylinders?
Here are my thoughts.
Example - I have a 3 Liter CO2 cylinder with an empty weight of 2.3kg.
3 Liters of CO2 should weigh 3.042 KG according to this chart: http://www.airproducts.com/Products...ht-and-volume-equivalents/carbon-dioxide.aspx
Let's call it 3Kg.
The safety limit on a CO2 cylinder is 68%.
Therefore my fully refilled cylinder should weight 2.3Kg (empty weight) + ((3Kg x 0.68) = 2.048Kg), so total full weight = empty weight 2.3Kg + CO2 weight 2Kg =4.3Kg
I ask this because the last 3 times I came home with a refill of this 3 liter cylinder it weighed 4.240kg, 4.120kg and 3.870kg.
Is there anything I'm missing around specific weight or density / temperature or pressure?
(correction my cylinder weighs 2.3Kg empty - updated above)
