How do you tell when propane bottle nears empty?

All propane cylinders will have a TW stamped in the valve protection ring. The tare weight or TW is the weight of the cylinder empty. TW 18 would be a 18 pound empty cylinder. If you weigh a TW 18 cylinder on a bathroom scale, and it weighs 28 pounds there would be 10 pounds of propane remaining in the cylinder.

How much does a 250 gallon propane tank weigh?

Depends on the manufacturer and specification standard of the tank, but roughly speaking at this capacity, there is about 2 pounds of steel for each gallon of capacity, so vacuum purged, the tank would weight approximately 400 lb. If it is filled with propane, each gallon of propane is 4.2 pounds at 60 degrees. Tanks are generally not filled beyond 80%, so maximum fill would be 672 pounds. Thus, full tank should be approximately 1000 pounds +/-.


Does PRESSURE in a propane tank without propane have any weight?

Yes, pressure in a propane tank without propane still has weight. Pressure is the force exerted per unit area, and it does have a measurable weight. However, the weight of the pressure alone may not be significant compared to the weight of the tank itself.

How much pressure in a 30 lb propane tank?

You cannot use output pressure to tell how full a tank is. The pressure will remain constant until it's just about out of propane. You can use weight, if you know how much it weighs when empty, and when full - then it's just simple math.

How much does a small propane cylinder weigh empty?

There is a fair amount of variation, but the standard small 16.4oz (1 lb) propane cylinder usually weighs just about a pound when empty (Tare weight, or the weight of the container itself). It is then usually charged with 16oz (by weight) of liquid propane for a total of around 32iz (2 lb).In SummaryTare Weight: 16oz (weight of the container/bottle)Net Weight: 16oz (weight of the liquid propane fuel)Gross Weight 32oz (weight of a full bottle)or in more practical terms, the closer your bottle is to weighing 1 lb, the closer you are to empty.
