280 Cf tank

admin

Just purchased a powermig 255. Comes with a full 280cf tank. Whats the dimensions of the tank??
Reply:This was a tough one and had to confim with my wife and daughter and the answer is?  Measure the darn thing.  The cuft. of the tank is determined by what pressure the supplier will fill the tank to and what pressure the tank is designed to hold.
Reply:Should be about 9" diameter and about 5' tall.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:Gotta go with DesertRider33 here, likely a "T" size. I think the "K" with 50ar/50Co2 can get close and are a bit smaller in dimension (not much).Matt

Reply:Originally Posted by illenemaI guess its tough to figure out but I bought both machines. 251 and 255. I also have a 280 cf bottle that goes with one of them and needed to know what the dimensions are, if I can shove it into a compact car to pick it up, answer is yes. I will post pictures of my machines if your interestedIm going to choose my favorite machine and sell the other one.

Reply:How are you going to haul any metal back from the metal supplier in order to use these machines for something?  My crystal ball sees a truck in your future...MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
