What cylinder size for carbon dioxide should I use? |
|
|
|
There are two commonly available sizes of carbon dioxide cylinders available, D and VT. The specifications for those are as follows, without valves:
| Size Code |
Nominal Tare weight
(kg) |
Nominal Height
(mm) |
Nominal Outside Diameter
(mm) |
Nominal Water Capacity
(kg or litres) |
| VT |
13.5 |
625 |
215 |
15.3 |
| D |
10.0 |
585 |
175 |
9.5 |
D use to be the more commonly used size, but now it is starting to move towards VT. The VT lasts longer before having to refill, since it contains about 60% more gas.
