TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Gas canister weight

Postby stuey69 » Mon 06 May, 2013 9:57 am

This may have been raised before but I can't find specifics for the 450g canister.
I know the full and empty weights for the 100 & 250g canisters but not the 450.
Can anyone shed light on that for me, perhaps for Kovea canisters?
Thanks in advance.

Some manufacturers list the gross weight on their websites from memory.

The weight is likely to be between 190 and 220 grams depending on the brand. I find that most canisters are over filled by about 2 - 5% - 230g Elemental brand has about 240g of gas in it.
