I'm praying I can figure it out myself! ...
This is team diving your getting yourself into here Lee Anne. That means team homework too.
In order to determine cubic feet for a given cylinder one merely divides the rated pressure by the volume of the cylinder. for example, one can calculate the cubic feet of 1,000psi in an AL 80 as follows:
1) 80 ft3 divided by 3000psi = .026 ft3 / psi
2) .026 ft3 X 1,500 psi = 39 ft3
Quality control. Let 'em know.
Yup. It's probably just a typo, and most people notice it right away. But I got stuck. I'm more annoyed with myself than anybody else.
So that's two items of feedback for GUE: 1) Number the worksheets (I was trying to do gas management with dissimilar tanks before I was doing gas management!) And 2) fix that durn typo.
One of the many things I've been able to sponge up along the way are tank factors.
It made gas planning a lot easier.
For some reason Ohm's law is my mnemonic (V = I*R), but in gas planning (Volume = tank factor * pressure)
Or, the way it works in my head V = T*P.
Have great time with the class, I'm looking forward to taking it in the near future.
