This might seem like a silly question but for a given tank capacity, say 9L, do you get more co2 than you would an equivalent welding gas,
For example with argon volume of gas is usually calculated at pressure x liquid capacity of the cylinder right as its just pressurised gas?, so say a 9L tank at 137 bar would be around 1230L of gas roughly.
But then if the same 9L tank held 6kg of liquid co2 (which i think is about right) that would be good for 3300L of gas roughly given the density of the stored liquid and 1kg liquid co2 = around 550L gas?
In short, do you get more co2 gas from a tank of the same size compared to a mixed gas bottle due to it being stored in the bottle as a dense liquid, and would it therefore last longer?
Or are my maths just pants
Cheers, George
