330 CF correct?

How much in a T? How does one go about purchasing a T on the West Coast? Make me wanna be proactive...

The real question is how many cubic feet do I have to sell to my buddies to buy myself the T and a booster ?

 

[MichaelMc]

Is it usually available in an S cylinder? That looks more manageable for those without garages. Or a Q or two.

 

[runsongas]

the problem with smaller is you get less useful fills from a cascade without having to get a booster.

290cf

helium is less compressible than air, rated capacities are with air

Will depend on your suppliers and region. Gas industry practices are not consistent across north america

these are air capacities, helium is less compressible and the volume of helium in a "300" is actually 290 cf, assuming you can get every last atom out.

The rest is for inerting cylinders after rinsing...
