•Refrigerant’s density at 130 0F
• * R-410A Temperature for Safe Storage is limited to 125 0F
Filling Factor X tank WC ( water capacity) = R- 100% Fill Weight
Fill Capacity assuming the 50 lb recovery cylinder has a
water weight capacity of 47.6 lbs.

Filling Factor X tank WC ( water capacity) = R- Fill Weight
Multiply calculated weight by .80 to know safe fill weight.
Add Tare Weight to safe fill weight for
TOTAL CYLINDER WEIGHT
DECREASE THE MAXIMUM LBS ON THE CHARTS BY 1-2 LBS FOR 30-50LB
TANKS. THIS IS THE MAXIMUM, DO NOT GET CLOSE TO THE MAXIMUM!!!!!
