Hi Don,

I don't have any listing of a C or C25 cylinder size designation. Are you talking about Carbon Dioxide and 75/25 Argon/Carbon Dioxide mix commonly used in MIG welding? That would be a gas designation rather than a cylinder size designation. These gases would both be in the high pressure cylinder category. They would commonly be supplied in T size high pressure cylinders, as is oxygen. That would be 9-1/4" O.D. x 60" high. This info is from an old (early '80s) Linde (Union Carbide) catalog. Other suppliers may provide these gases in any of the cylinder sizes listed under my post on oxygen cylinders. The cylinder of 75/25 that I have is a T, however the growth of relatively small MIG welders in recent years may have led to supply of these gases in cylinders smaller than the T. Check with a local supplier for availability.

The standard full pressure for any of the high pressure gases in a T size cylinder is 2,640 psig. For all the other HP cylinder sizes, the full pressure is 2,200 psig for any gas...with the exception of hydrogen and hydrogen mixtures which is 2,000 psig. These pressures are at a temperature of 70 deg F. That pressure will increase over 70 deg and decrease under 70 deg for the same quantity of contents.

By contrast, all the acetylene cylinders have a full pressure of 250 psig, also at 70 deg F.

Hope this answers your question,
Rod
