Scott Aviation Oxygen Cylinder sizes
I now want to calculate how long this tank will last per person at various altitudes. Unfortunately, I'm unable to figure out the internal volume of the cylinder. I've searched the internet for hours and found no definitive answer.
The cylinder is about 18 inches long and has a diameter of 3.5 inches. It's made of steel (DOT-3AA2100).
Can anyone please help me out by telling me what the internal volume of my cylinder is? There must be a table somewhere listing the various size cylinders Scott sold at the time and their volumes. I believe that the cylinders had different letter designations. I know, from photos on the internet, that size "A" is smaller than mine, but I can't even find out what volume "A" sized Scott cylinders hold.
I've roughly calculated that the cylinder may hold approximately 0.1 cubic feet of water which would translate to about 12 cubic feet of oxygen at 1,800 PSI.
