A cubic foot, gallon, liter, or cubic meter of Liquified Natural Gas. What would its expanded volume be at standard temperature and pressure?

Thanks.

Hello everybody:

The Liquified Natural Gas is obtained by cooling down Natural Gas, at -162 ºC and atmospheric pressure. At this temperature and pressure, the gas reduce its volume 600 times. So, when this LNG is under standard temperature and pressure, it vaporizes and expands 600 times its volume when in liquid state.
