What is gross weight, fill weight and tare weight?
In order to understand the different weight indications on a gas cylinder, it is important to know the terms gross weight, fill weight and tare weight.
- Gross weight: This is the total weight of the cylinder including the contents. It is made up of the net weight (tare) of the bottle and the filling weight of the contents.
- Filling weight: The filling weight is the weight of the contents of the bottle, for example propane or butane gas.
- Tare weight: The term "tare" means "deduction". It is used when you weigh substances that you cannot weigh without aids, such as gases or liquids, in a container. The tare weight (net weight) is therefore the difference between the gross weight and the filling weight.
