    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    Thanks for all the clarification LittleInch. I think this all makes sense to me. So I could calculate the gas volume required by using the vessel parameters of volume(64m3), pressure(1000bar) and temperature(1473K) with a choice of two inputs. Inputs 1 Pressure = 1.01bar Volume = 11m3...

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    @LittleInch, I've revised the calculation in my post '28 Nov 18 11:54'. Can you please review to see does this method seem logical? And yes the Hot Isostatic Pressure (HIP) Vessels rely on a set of compressors to reach the required pressure.

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    I missed that one when updating, but have corrected it now. Thanks! I'm not familiar with the method of recycling gas but some research has shown between 90-95% of the gas is commonly recovered with this process.

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    No probs-I've edited the post above so hopefully that measier to follow. And thanks for the correction. I'm doing the calculation on behalf of a customer so don't have a photo. I've a call with the machine manufacturer next week so will try and get a pic if possible. (It's not available online)...

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    Thanks for the feedback. @LittleInch, it's been a long time since I've used any such calculation so I'm not familiar with the standard terminologies as I once may have been, apologies for this it is not laziness it's just non-familiarity. So, yes you are correct in that when I use spatial...

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    Thanks for the replies. @latexman, the spatial volume is the volumetric space inside the cylinder at atmospheric pressure. The gas volume (argon) is the pressurized argon in the cylinder i.e. 47litres at 230bar. Am i missing something here? e.g. the 11 litres of air at atm pressure would equate...

    Volume of gas required to pressurize a container?

    Hi, Can someone please assist me with the following thermodynamics calculation; It's been about 15years since I've done any Thermodynamics so it feels like I'm starting from scratch again. I want to calculate the volume of argon gas required to pressurize a sealed vessel to a specific pressure...
