Is there a chart listing the buoyancy characteristics of the common tank sizes?

Title says it all. I did look around but didn't see one. I would think this would be a common of enough question to warrant a Sticky but maybe it's such a basic question everyone but me already knows.

Looks like I found one unless anyone has any reason not to agree to this one:

Several listed here near the bottom.

Let me add... in case you didn't know the "empty buoyancy" value is the best comparative measure for tweaking weight worn.

The Huron Scuba list is one of the more often referenced lists.

This one is from XS scuba and covers worthington tanks:

I don't have a chart but I can point you two calculators.

There is a decent chart found in PADI's "Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving on page 3-49. It lists various characteristics of 20 different tanks.
