I have been on Hubbs tank calculator and wanted to double check my figures on the forum here. Seems it's to good to be true to me.

Nitrogen tank filled to 4500PSI and it's 70 Cu In
Elevation 0


Chamber volume 42.39 Cu In
@ 200 PSI = 38 shots
@ 18 PSI = 2270 shots

Chamber volume 21.195 Cu In
@ 200 PSI = 77 shots
@ 18 PSI = 4539 shots

Chamber volume 4.71 Cu In
@ 200 PSI = 345 shots
@ 18 PSI = 20,427 shots

Are these figures correct ?
Anything else I should take into consideration ?

p¹ x v¹ = p² x v² ???


4500 x 70 = 3150000

315000 / (200 x 42.39) = 37
315000 / (18 x 42.39) = 412

315000 / (200 x 21.95) = 71
315000 / (18 x 21.95) = 825

315000 / (200 x 4.71) = 334
315000 / (18 x 4.71) = 3715

Thanks Dr.
So that's how that works.......
Wonder why Hubbs tank calculater has the 18PSI figures so far off ? Never the less I'm still happy with how many shots I can get out of a single tank. Kinda knew it was to good to be true on those figures when checking it out.

... Hope that formula is the right one? Ha!

I have no idea how the errors ended up like that. Thanks for pointing it out.
