Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

calculating pressure/volume drop in a gas cylinder

Thu Apr 24, 2008 6:10 am

how do i calculate the loss of nitrogen pressure when filling an accumulator from a compressed nitrogen cylinder with 3500 psi and 304 cubic feet capacity, the accumulator will start with o pressure and and holds 50 liters of gas @ 70 bar?
also i need to fill 24 of these cylinders each with 50L @ 70 bar, and i know i can cascade the cylinders so that a cylinder with less than the maxium 70 bar can start filling a cylinder from o and then when the pressure equalizes i can "top off" to the max. pressure with a new cylinder?
is there a formula to do this? am i asking to much? do i know how to spell? am i loosing my mind? :?

:D Thank You in advance :D
