How much air does an LP85 hold at 2400 PSI?

[rjack321]

I was asking what is the factor for my personal tanks.

3.2cf per 100 psi

Then I looked more and found another marking:

09 * 04 +

The hydro date
September 2004, plus rated

You are way out of hydro

Also my tank is 7" in diameter.

I am still not sure how much air these things hold!

September 2004, plus rated

You are way out of hydro

I had them hydro'd last year according to the well reputed shop!! WTF

@rjack321 calculated it for you above: 3.2

I am still not sure if my tank is plus rated, wouldn't that change things?

It's a really good thing that something as critically important for survival is so easy to understand. lol

Look closely for another stamp.

My tanks say the following:

FABER MADE IN ITALY M8303 04/1871/ 198
TC-3AAM-184/DOT-3AA 2400 REE 66

What all that mean and what is my personal "tank factor"?

Is there a plus sign (+) after the 2400?

dude seriously, what up with the rant?
"tank factors" are just a way to use the same ratio to explain how algebra can be used to figure out the volume at any pressure

Well, you asked.
Why have to remember a tank factor, when all the other info you need is right in front of you?
Also, by the continual rounding off of fractions, you lose accuracy. For example, 2640/85 = 3.1, not 3 or 3.2.

SO the 09 * 04 + stamp is below the rusty stamp (hydro stamp) it is under the paint.

The rusty stamp says 1 03/04 19.

 

[CaveSloth]

Is there a plus sign (+) after the 2400?

No but there is another plus sign over underneath the rusty (hydro?) stamp that says 09 * 04 +

@CaveSloth
Perhaps you should post a photo of the tank markings, to avoid confusion.
