Argon tank pressure ?

[Arc Tourist]

I want to purchase a larger size Argon tank from a gas dealer. I'll be taking my regulator along, so would like to know what I should expect the pressure to be in a "full" 30 litre tank ?

Thanks.

Boc bottles seem to be filled to 230 bar.
My sgs was only 180bar on a 20L, the website claims 230bar.

It should be whatever they tell you it is, 200, 230 and 300 bar are common.

Thank You ! I'm not going with BOC, but with a local dealer. I would rather pay the one time tank fee to get in rotation so I don't have to deal with rental fees or future hydro tests.

Thanks. I don't always take for granted what I'm told, but in some cases, I only believe what I measure.
So, middle of the road would be around 3200 psi. or 230 Bar, which is my regulator's max pressure.
