Air in tanks

[junior diver]

Can I ask, how many litres is a AL80 because I use a 10ltr though most people use a 12ltr and I use one to 300bar (which I think is 4500psi) and a din valve and a 232 bar and a ordinary valve (I don't know the psi to that) but I think it's possible that European divers have more air in their tanks than American divers. Just a thought.

10 l tank @ 300 Bar is ~ 3000 l of compressed gas = ~106 cu ft
12 l @ 232 Bar = ~2780 l of gas = ~98 cu ft

28.3 liters per cu ft. So the 77.4 cu ft of free gas in an AL80 is about 2200 liters.

Put another way, the AL80 is a 10.6 liter, 207 bar tank.

You know that there is a tank forum, right? Anyway, an S80 is 10.6 liters.
