Al,Hank is talking internal volume of a large tank. I was a bit confusedby that earlier.An 80 cubic ft scuba tank has an internal volume of about .353 cu ft.Hank is talking about something 30 times that size at 10.7 cu ft.Alan

How can the air in a 10.7 cu ft tank weigh almost 85 lbs? I could believe .848 lbs...best check your decimal point... Al Secor

84.8 lbs assuming a 60F ambient temperature.  See attached derivation.

Alan,I need to know how much  a 10.7 cubic foot tank will extra when pumped up to 1,500 psi.  And how many cubic feet of air will I have when it is pumped up.Hank

Hank,air weighs .0807 lbs per cubic foot approximately, depending on temperature.So if you have an 80 cubic foot scuba tank the air weight full is 6.45 lb.A scuba tank is 80 cubic ft at 3000 psi. If you halve the pressure you halvethe amount of air & weight. In other words, if you double the pressure youdouble the weight for a given volume.Let us know what you are trying to calculate if this doesn't help.Alan

Okay, I am stumped!  can someone give me a formula to calculate the weight of air at a particular psi per cubic foot.Thank youHank
