How heavy is a scuba diving tank?

Answer 1

It depends on the size of the tank. The standard tank used at most Scuba diving training facilities use an aluminum 80. The tank weighs around 21 lbs. full. As the tank is used during diving it becomes more boyant, meaning that you need to use more weight at the end of the dive then you need at the beginning.

Answer 3

Depends on the manufacturer. Worthington's Steel 100 weighs 33lbs. Faber's weighs 34.3 and Sherwood's 36.4. There are a few other manufacturers but those would be the top three. Their bouyancy characteristics when full and empty is something to consider.

Answer 4

It depends upon what kind of tank you want to buy. You can buy AL80's (Aluminum cylinders holding 80CF of air) for between $175 and $200 us dollars. Purchasing larger tanks, such as steel 100's and 120's will cost significantly more, up to $400-450.

Answer 6

Diving cylinders are made to different sizes and out of different material. This means that they weigh all sorts of weight. They are also made to hold different maximum pressures. A cylinder rated to take 300bar needs thicker walls than one rated to take 200 bar and will therefore be heavier. A steel 12.2L cylinder filled to 232bar weighs about 15kg but it will weigh less when it is empty. Some cylinders actually float when they are empty and sink when they are full.
