Weigh Scales for Gas Bottles

[maingate]

I do not condone filling a non-refillable bottle but to make life safer for those who do, Aldi are selling Weigh Scales that go up to 50 lb (22 Kg) for £3.99. They are meant to be used by Anglers.

They are also handy to work out how much gas is in a partially filled bottle. Weigh the bottle, deduct the net weight of the bottle and multiply the result by 2 and you have the number of Litres of gas in the bottle.

I doubt if they will be accurate to a milligramme but will be OK for weighing gas bottles.
