If you go to xs scuba the distributor for worthington the specs are 82.7 cf (@ 10% over or 2640) for the lp-85. so does anyone know what a faber lp-85 really holds? from what i have read it is common for scuba cylindar size to be rounded off.

Here are the specs that I got from Blue Steel:
L85DVB 2640psi 13liter 793cuin 85cuft 25.98lb 7.01dia 31.2lbs
bouyancy -3.80full / 2.32empty
Note: All diameters and weights are nominal.
Lengths and weights do not include valve and boot.
*Cubic foot capacities listed are nominal and actual volume depends on settled pressure, temperature and gas being filled.
The bouyancy is also without the weight of the valve. Add 2lbs

Hey Russ:
Neither cylinder holds 85 cuft at 2640 psi.
The Nominal (average) Internal Volume of the Worthington LP85 is 798 cubic inches of water.
As per the Faber website, the Faber 85 is 793 cubic inches (slightly less).
The Worthington LP85 is (approx) 82.9 cuft and the Faber 85 is (approx) 82.4 cuft when both cylinders are filled to 2640 psi.
