How many cu ft is my .35L tank
- Thread starter IAfaug
- Start date
If my math is right a .35L tank should be about 3.1 Cubic Feet.
My 1.6l tank is 14 cubic feet
my 9 liter is 86 cubic feet.
it seems 1 liter is really close to 10 cubic feet.
Ohh here is a list I just found
12 Ltr =115 CF
9.0 Ltr = 86 CF
6.8 Ltr = 65 CF
3.0 Ltr = 29 CF
2.0 Ltr = 19 CF
1.5 Ltr = 14 CF
1.0 Ltr = 9.5 CF
500cc = 4.25 CF

that is a straight transfer without tanking into account the tank capacity at 4,500 PSI of pressure, it confused me at first also, and the math is confusing, its best to just remember that 1 liter is basically 10 cubic feet of easy to remember math that is close enough.

It's about 3.84cuft at 4500psi.
Not sure where you are getting your numbers but if 1ltr (1000cc)=9.5 wouldn't you expect 500cc to be half? 4.75? not 4.25

Those number came from acecare the maker of the tank
And i suspect its just like anything else a company just doesnt care about accurate numbers, they care about what sounds good or nice even simple numbers, a 1 liter tank might really be .9 or 1.1 liter where the 500cc bottle might really be a 490cc or a 510cc and I bet this varies between companies based on bottle design. I am guessing everything is just "close" kinda like how my box labeled 44cal bullets are really a .429 or .430 in diameter.

I compiled these formulas some time ago from various sources. I can't vouch for their validity, but they seem to be fairly accurate.
Formulas:
- Convert Cubic feet to Liter:
- Liters = (cu ft / 4500 psi) * 411
- Example: 80 cu ft tank = 7.3 liter tank
- 7.3 Liters = (80 cu ft / 4500) * 411
- Convert Liters to Cubic Feet:
- Cubic feet = (liters * 4500 psi)/411
- Example: 7.3 liter tank = 80 cu ft tank
- 79.92 Cubic feet = (7.3 liters *4500) / 411
- Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Feet:
- Cubic Feet = (Cubic Inches / 1728) x (4500 psi / 14.7)
- Example: 90 cu in tank = 15.9 cu ft tank.
- 15.9 cu ft = (90 / 1728) * (4500 / 14.7)
- Convert Cubic Centimeter (cc) to Liter:
- Liter = (Cubic centimeter / 1000)
- Example: 490 cc tank = .49 liters.
- Convert Cubic Centimeter (cc) to Cubic Feet:
- Cubic Feet = (Cubic centimeter / 28317)
- Example: 490 cc tank = .0173 Cu Ft.
- .0173 cu ft = (490 / 28317)
- Convert Cubic Foot (cf) to Cubic Centimeter (cc):
- Cubic Centimeter = (Cubic Feet * 28317)
- Example: .0173 cf tank = 490 cc.
- 490 cc = (.0173 * 28317)

Your number is the interior volume of a .35 liter tank at atmospheric pressure or1 bar. Multply .01236 x 310 bar and you get 3.83 cubic feet. That is the 4500 psi air capacity of a .35 liter tank.

Here's why the imperial system sucks!

Metric: actual volume of container X actual pressure = actual volume of content.
0.35liters x 300bar = 0.35x300=105 liters of compressed air.
0.35liters x 200bar = 0.35x200=70 liters of compressed air.
