What I learned sofar,is that those handicapt with the imperial system don't have a clue either.
They messure the actual amount of AIR in cubc feet.
But besides having differenr tank sizes,they also seem to have Low pressure and High pressure tanks
The pressures they than quote don't come close to what we think is normal.
LP tanks seem to be 2400psi or 163 bar.Thats what I call an empty tank.
HP tanks seem to be 3000psi or 204 bar.Thats what we call a POOR fill
But it seems to go for all sizes of tanks.
I must admit,I still don't have a clue on this.
80 cubic/feet is a 11.1 Liter to us,but the same size tank in LP or HP seems to make a differance
232 or even 300+ bar are, or atleast seem to be exeptions.
Lot of "seems"in this post.
