Common cylinder sizes

admin

Zap has posted a link to this in the past but for the lazy SOB's who ask anyway, here are the sizes of cylinder most common to find at home or in a small shop.    Please note dimensions are from base of cylinder to base of valve. Cu feet listed is for argon and will vary slightly with different gas mixtures, typically slightly less cu ft when used with helium or nitrogen.    If anyone wants to chime in with RECENT pricing from their locality that may be something others are interested in. 1) T 20 CF ARGON CAPACITY 5" DIA X 15" TALL 2) R 84 CF ARGON CAPACITY 7.5 DIA X 24" TALL 3) Q 104 CF ARGON CAPACITY 7" DIA X 32.5" TALL4) M 125 CF ARGON CAPACITY 7" DIA X 43" TALL 5) S 150 CF ARGON CAPACITY 7.5 DIA X 47" TALL 6) H 250 CF ARGON CAPACITY 9" DIA X 51.5" TALL 7) L 330 CF ARGON CAPACITY 9.25 DIA X 56" TALL "Anybody can talk $h!t behind a monitor, I let the quality of my work speak for itself"Lincoln Square Wave 255 and 355 Tig Lincoln 255 Power-Mig w/ spool gun Koike 5 x 10 CNC plasma Hyd-Mech DM-10 bandsaw Ineco QB-76 NC tube bender
