Dimensions of a 10L bottle?

[jweaver]

I just got my new welder and its got a plynth at the back to hold a 10L bottle.. But its much narrower than I expected.

I beleieve my current CO2 bottle is 10L (14KG), but I won't get my Argon/CO2 until the weekend...

Could someone give me the approximate size of a 10L bottle, just so that I can check that my CO2 is 10L and I know what to expect?

Also, just to check, is a 20L bottle, the same diameter, but twice as high? Or is it fatter too?

A 10L bottle is about 160mm x 700mm or so. A 20l is about 200mm x 1000mm or so.

I take it you mean the Diameter rather than circumference? And a 20L is not just higher, its fatter too?
