9l at 137bar is 137x9l so you get 1223l of gas expanded, or 123.3 minutes at 10lpm, though boc and some others list the cubic feet or meters in their cylinders to start with.
edit, not the same with co2, that is stored as liquide and remains at about the same pressure no matter how much is in the tank i believe, i've never used big tanks of co2.

Hi, Would be better getting a 10L at 200 bar from http://www.southwestgassupplies.co.uk
They have distributors all over the UK. I've just got 20L at 200 bar for £150 that includes the price of the bottle, will be £60 to refill.
The lower the pressure the less gas the bottle holds.

I find adams gas cheapest that i've found so far for my mig.
but on the tig pure argon is much cheaper from boc if you'd use a few adams cylinders a year, i think i worked it out as 3-4 adams cylinders of argon a year and boc makes sense, as long as you go for a Y or W cylinder, or 6-8+ of mig mixes, i only use 1-2 adams mig bottles a year, but i'd be using 10+ argon if i had adams one of those, and at £51 a fill that really adds up, the big boc cylinder holds about the same as 9-10 adams cylinders and rent is about £90-100 a year fill is about £70-80 as far as i remember, total for a years rent and 1 fill is about £195 with collection, total for adams would be £400-500ish for the same amount of gas, so just depends how much you use it i guess
