trickydicky Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 hi, does anybody know how much heavier 2 large FULL gas bottles are compared to 2 EMPTY ones please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klyne Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Surely the difference is just the weight of the gas? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Not quite sure what you mean by large bottles but............I'm only making a guess (educated?) that 2 x full 13kg bottles weigh 26kg more than two empty ones? Similarly, 2 x full 11kg bottles weigh 22kg more than two empty ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 trickydicky - 2011-08-07 7:12 PM hi, does anybody know how much heavier 2 large FULL gas bottles are compared to 2 EMPTY ones please. Page 657 of the Caravan Club's current handbook provides a useful list of UK gas-bottle dimensions and weights. Based on the CC-provided data, a FULL 15kg-capacity Calor(butane) bottle would weigh around 34kg (and EMPTY around 19kg), while a FULL 13kg-capacity Calor(propane) bottle would weigh around 32kg (and EMPTY around 19kg). So two full 15kg-capacity Calor(butane) bottles would weigh around 68kg (and empty around 38kg), while two full 13kg-capacity Calor(propane) bottles would weigh around 64kg (and empty also around 38kg). Liquid butane weighs around 0.576kg per litre, whereas liquid propane weighs around 0.508kg per litre.

Guest peter Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 So basically a bit of complicated math's would be, weight of full cylinder minus weight of gas would equal weight of empty cylinder. As Tracker would say "simples" :D I seriously can't believe this question was asked in the first place. (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's self-evident that the question was asked, belief in it's being asked is academic. ;-) (Now you'll understand what Jesuit training does to you and how I ended up working for the British Intelligence Services.)

ALAN G Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The weight of the empty bottle is normally stamped somewhere on the bottle. Either it is on the skirt that supports the bottle or on an aluminium disc by the outlet valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
