Default ATTN: Mr Pounder Esqui CO2 extinguisher weight

I've got a 2kg CO2, which says tare 2.93kg, gross 4.93kg on the side. It weighs (give or take 0.2kg) 4.2kg, which suggests it is 63.5% full. But shaking it makes no liquid sound. Do I have much in there or not? Should I hear the liquid? Is weight how they test them, or pressure? It says on the side you should recharge if below a certain weight, so I assume the pros weigh them.

We used to weigh them in our lab and you never heard any sloshing at all.

I could be thinking of camping gas. Maybe that's at a higher pressure. You'd think they'd put as much CO2 in as they could, or maybe then they become bombs if they get in the fire.

Correct Mr Mason.
Liquid carbon dioxide does not slosh around, except in Mr Hucker's pathetic
trolling attention seeking head. The extinguishers are filled to 70%
capacity. The remainder is ullage.
Part of the servicing procedure was to turn the extinguisher upside down and
listen to anything that made a noise. This is because the syphon (spelling)
tube could fall off. If this happens the extinguisher will not work. The
tube falling off in a CO2 is almost unheard of. But, I have known it to be
common in a certain manufacture of fire extinguisher.
For many years I followed the servicing procedure for CO2s and heard
nothing.
****!
PHucker has baited me and I took the bait.

No, definitely compressed gas. Might not be an extinguisher though. I still don't see why they don't put far more CO2 in them (to liquid pressure) so they last longer.

Well if it never sloshes it can't be liquid. Perhaps your link was incorrect? If it is, then I don't understand why they don't add more CO2 until it is liquid. Then you could put out a bigger fire. I can find nothing on google about it.

No, definitely compressed gas. Might not be an extinguisher
though. I still don't see why they don't put far more CO2 in them
(to liquid pressure) so they last longer.

"Might not be an extinguisher though".
WTF?

My memory of sloshing compressed gas.

Okay, I'll take the bait. But not for long.
The 2 kg CO2 is sized and rated to hold 2kg of CO2 and is priced as
such. The 5kg CO2 is sized and rated to hold 5kg of CO2 and is
priced as such. Did I try to explain the word ullage to you? The
ullage is the space in the cylinder that provides the pressure.

It's old. But it may help you.
http://www.crisis-response.com/forum...e;topic=5696.0

That says "Liquid fill is to 2/3 of the capacity of the cylinder" -
so there IS liquid on there. A lot of it.

The other 1/3 is ullage................. pressure.
I have a CO2 which is full, I can tell by just picking it up. I
can't hear the liquid CO2 sloshing about when I shake it.
I have asked my Old Master your question. I admit that I do not know
the answer.


Well if it never sloshes it can't be liquid. Perhaps your link was
incorrect? If it is, then I don't understand why they don't add more
CO2 until it is liquid. Then you could put out a bigger fire. I can
find nothing on google about it.


If you could not even understand a sump plug, you are too stupid too
understand a fire extinguisher.
Good troll, bollock brains.

Oh dear, I was giving you a chance to impart your knowledge. It appears you do not know.

I prefer this explanation I just fund on Google:
"Why can't you here it slosh? Because it is a supercritical fluid under normal conditions, having the density properties of a fluid, but the flow characteristics of a gas, hence it won't slosh around if you shake it. If you cool a cylinder of CO2 enough, however, the liquid CO2 ceases to be supercritical and will then slosh around."

Pressure of gas can't stop liquid sloshing. I'd like a website of a manufacturer with the explanation.
