S30 canister

[Luvabeer]

how can I check if there’s any gas in the canister? I Just bought a second hand job lot. Co2 bottle feels heavy but how can I check
Cheers

Seeing as noone has answered I'll have a go. Do bear in mind I know next to nothing about kegging (although I do know a wee bit about mini kegging) or gas.

S0....Would attaching some sort of pressure guage work? (I'm basing this guess on the pressure guages you can get for bike tyres to find out what the psi is )

Assuming you bought your S30 to pressurise something why not connect it up? If you twist the cylinder to open the cylinder valve NRV nozzle you will hear CO2 passing. But if the cylinder is completely empty the nozzle thingy will be loose.

If it's empty the pin in the middle of the nozzle will be loose.

Cheers to all
It’s empty

Weigh the empty one so you have a tare value for the next time.

Good idea
Thanks

An empty one weighs 885 grams and a full one 1200 grams.

Was going to say, pretty sure the full and empty weights are on a label on my ones.

Correct pal’s
I took mine for a refill an my local brew shop manager and he pointed out if the pressure pin is loose! There is no pressure.
