co2 tank in terms of oz?

[Encriptic]

I was just wondering how much a 2l co2 tank would be in oz. Some catalogues that you see online all mention that in ounces. Anyone knows?

It depends on whether the tank is made of steel or aluminum.

The other info I know is that by industry standards, they top up 0.65kg of CO2 per litre of tank size. So for a 2L tank, they pump in 1.3kg of CO2.

Im talking about alu tanks, sorry forgot to say. like how big would a 20oz alu tank be?

Ounce can mean mass or volume.

Mass:
ounce (avoirdupois) (oz) = 28.3g
ounce (troy) (oz) = 31.1g

Volume:
ounce (Imperial) (fl oz) = 28.4ml
ounce (U.S. fluid) (fl oz) = 29.6ml

From the calculations, it looks like your 20 oz aluminum tank will be as big as a jam jar.

for normal cylinder, it should be pounds (lb), i think.
1 lb is 454g.

oz may be used in mini cylinders.
maybe less than 1 litre.
