What does the cc mean on a nitro tank??

[alright88]

On the side of a nitro tank what do the numbers refer to?? I.e 15.4cc

[BigDumbBoris]

Wild guess.... cubic centimeters?

[teufelhunden]

That's what I'd guess, but 15.4 cc is very small.

IDK.

[alright88]

yeah mines a 91cui tank, so it aint small, just wanted too know what the 15.4cc meant on it.

[BigDumbBoris]

I think this is the same type of cc as in motorcycles. Like those little midget bikes are 50cc and bigger ones are 250cc and so on.

If that helps at all

[alright88]

i understand that(thanks though) i just wanted to no what cc acuatlly refers to???

[alright88]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[teufelhunden]

Boris: No, these are two different CC's.

Alright, you bumped after 14 minutes of inactivity... search google or something if you're that impatient.

:confused: No idea.

[alright88]

Yo Bourne could you run this by some of the other mods for me and see what they think?

[alright88]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[BourneKiller]

Here, UTL, catch!

:P Anyone know what it means?

[alright88]

Somebodys Gotta Know? Out of all the people with nitro tanks nobody else knows either?:confused: :confused: :confused:

[teufelhunden]

Dude, chill out. If someone knows they'll tell you.

[UTLadiesMan]

91 cubic inches ~= 1540 cubic centimeters. I don't know why they would divide by 100, unless that isn't what they mean at all.

Anyway

91.0 ci = 1491.2 cc
1540 cc = 94.0 ci

Could just be coincidence.
Maybe they just suck at math and used 2.567 instead of 2.54.

[DarkShark]

Cup Cakes!

[BigDumbBoris]

Oh an the motorcycle cc is the same. I asked my really smart friend who is insanely good at motocross.

[teufelhunden]

Motorcycle CCs are cubic centimeters... I don't think that's the CC we're talking about on this tank.

Are you sure it specifically said 15.4 cc? You didn't just make those numbers up as an example?

I've found tanks for sale that are listed with cc which I'm assuming is cubic centimeters:

But the numbers are no where near 15.4

[alright88]

Yes i have a 91/4500 Crossfire and on the side it says 15.4cc.

also what your thinking of is ci Cubic Inches, not cc which is what im trying to figure out.

[alright88]

this isnt the tank i have, but is the clearest picture i can find displaying what im talking about.

Look further down the page... there are tanks labeled cc.

[alright88]

Thanks to everyone, Espcially the mods, Honorable mention to UTLadiesMan, for sovling my conundrum.

[UTLadiesMan]

Ok, this is what I found.

The rejection elastic expansion (REE), in cubic cm (cc), must be marked on the cylinder near the date of test. The REE for a cylinder is 1.05 times its original elastic expansion.

AND

Some 3AA cylinders can be stamped with a + mark when hydro tested. The + means it may be filled to +10% over its working pressure. These cylinders can be stamped if the REE value is given by the manufacturer or is marked on the cylinder AND the calculated REE value is not exceeded during testing AND no pits or corrosion are visible on the cylinder.


What this all comes down to I guess is how likely it is your tank will explode at certain pressures. I will get a friend of mine to write a better explaination since I don't know the technical aspects of it all.

nice ;)
