Title: any math heads out there??? volume conversion please
Post by: DONTdoIT on August 27, 2014, 11:13:25 PM
Trying work out volume of a tank but can't flipping work it out :(

Says Nitrogen EHP 12.8m3

M3 converted to cu ft would be a great help

Thanks in advanced and yes I tryed google

Google cubic meters to cubic feet.  12.8 cubic meters (M3) = 452 cubic feet

Thanks. I did get the same result but it just didn't seem right :(

That tank costs $280 to fill it and $30 month bottle rental
Only filled to 3600psi so need way up the odds before I pick my path haha

and for future conversion the multiplication to get cubic meter to cubic feet is "X M3 * 35.3147(rounded) = X FT3" where X is you measurement.
1 cubic meter is 35.314666721489 *cubic* feet for rule of measure in volume (edited for correctness)

check "the calculator site dot com"

I find it extremely useful for a project I am doing.

to be honest I had to look this up a few days ago while arguing with an engineer thinking it was 38.272753 from M3 to FT3

Works out 223 fills so hardly seems worth it

Wow, definitely NOT worth it!!! For a little more then double that fill cost, you can own a 437cf tank and it's 4500psi.  Scuba shops should be able to fill it for under $50 and it would last you the whole year.

Scuba tank is by Far the cheapest Option BUT they will not fill anything unless I have a scuba license

That costs
$400 for test
$250 for gear
$250 for days lost wages

It's just getting crazy haha I have sent afew emails off about compressers because at the end of the day it would save money in the long run

And as for 4500psi fills I did ring around and no dive shop will or can fill that high. I had one shop argue with me saying they dont make bottles that can hold that and I was like your a dick and hanged up :)
