    Hello,
    does anyone know how to convert how many liters of CO2 in 1 kilogram of CO2?
    It is about gas for MAG welding.

    This is a gas so the volume of 1kg of CO2 depends on the pressure.
    If in liquid form it is 1.05729 kg/liter

    I got gas price lists in kg. And Linde, for example, has 17.5kg and 26kg in the cylinder. I need to convert this to liters, but I don't know what is the yield of liters per kilogram.
    I read in Mistura's book that 1kg of CO2 at 15C is about 550 liters of CO2.
    And now the question is, is this a true statement?

    Air has a density of 1.3 kg/m3, and CO2 is about 44/28.5 times that - recalculate, I'm under the impression that a little over 500 liters at 0C.

    Or else: 44g of CO2 should have a volume of 22.4 liters at 0C, that's probably 530 liters / kilogram at 15C.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on converting kilograms of CO2 to liters, particularly for MAG welding applications. It is noted that the volume of CO2 varies with pressure and temperature. One response indicates that 1 kg of CO2 at 15°C yields approximately 550 liters. Another calculation suggests that under standard conditions (20°C and 1013.25 hPa), 1 kg of CO2 occupies about 546 dm³. The conversation references density comparisons with air and includes a link to a Wikipedia page for further information on gas density.
