Bill;
Without getting into a definition of "adiabatic" gas expansion, lets assume
the gas settles out to the same temperature (isothermal) as it was in the 1
CF cylinder. Then simply take the inverse ratio of the pressures to get the
volumes. (900psi/150psi) X 1 CF= 6 CF. If you don't let the temperatures
equalize, things get more complicated.

Subject: Cylinder Volumes
Ok now I need some number crunching help. If I have a cylinder with 1 cu.ft.
of gas at 900 psi how big of cylinder would it fill to 150 psi?
Also anyone know the volumes of the standard nitrous bottles? They are
usually just listed in the amount by weight of nitrous.
