Hello,

Sorry for the confusion but what i'm looking for has little to do with what you wrote.

Ed? Omar?

You guys dive buddies?

Hello,

BTW rick gave me the answer I was looking for, thanks.

Ah, yes... extrapolating the 2.54cm per inch relationship gives us a bit over 28 liters per cubic foot, which anyone can readily see explains why an Aluminum 80 is 11 liters...
Thanks for clearing that up for us ignorants down here in the backwaters of Alabama, Omar.
Where are you from, there, lad?

Hello,

All BS aside.

1 ci = 0.01639 liter

All you need is the water capacity ci of the tank. That's part 2 (finding the water capacity by the shape of the bottle)

Anyone know the formula to convert cubic feet to liters for tanks?

Ed

Here is a example of liters to cubic feet:

Faber 15lt
15 ltr x 61.02= 915.30 cubic inches
915.30 ci. / 1728 = .529 cf @ 0 psi
.529cf x 177.4= 93.97 cf @2640 psi
15 liters = 93.97 cf @2640 psi, 70 degrees F

PST LP-95
940 ci /1728= .543 cf @ 0
.543cf x 177.4 96.50 cf @2640 psi, 70 degrees F

Ok...since we are on the subject, does anyone have a link to a conversion chart I can print up regarding tanks (metric vs. imperial)? I work in wholesale, and deal with many Japanes, Korean, and Chinese companies...and I really don't have time to do the math when they start asking about tanks.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello,

wish there was. some vendors publishes both water volume (metric) AND total air volume at pressure (imperial). Doing the conversion you would have to do several math steps and I would think someone somewhere has already wrote a chart for this, for common sized tanks.

ScubaBunny,

Check out this web page, it might be of some help to you.

Here's a link I use when converting different units when I'm too lazy to do it by hand(which I could if I had to). The problem is like Rick said, the CUFT is pressurized. When you stick in 11 liters and covert it to CUFT, you only get .39, which would work if we didn't like any pressure in our tanks.:shocked2:

Now, I guess if someone took the time to take tank volumes and working pressure CUFT, we could make a chart to cross reference.
