There is a fair amount of variation, but the standard small 16.4oz (1 lb) propane cylinder usually weighs just about a pound when empty (Tare weight, or the weight of the container itself). It is then usually charged with 16oz (by weight) of liquid propane for a total of around 32iz (2 lb).
In Summary
- Tare Weight: 16oz (weight of the container/bottle)
- Net Weight: 16oz (weight of the liquid propane fuel)
- Gross Weight 32oz (weight of a full bottle)

What weighs more an empty cylender or an cylender filled with compressed gas?
Your cylinder full of gas will weigh more, for it contains the mass of the gas. Some gases, when compressed, such as CO2, are in liquid form, and quite heavy.
Why does an empty cylinder weigh less than a filled one?
An empty cylinder weighs less because it contains only the weight of the cylinder itself, whereas a filled cylinder contains the weight of both the cylinder and the substance inside it. The substance inside adds to the total weight of the filled cylinder.
Mass in grams of graduated cylinder?
To determine the mass of a graduated cylinder, simply weigh it using an analytical balance or scale. Subtract the empty weight of the balance from the weight displayed when the cylinder is placed on it to obtain the mass of the graduated cylinder in grams.

All propane cylinders will have a TW stamped in the valve protection ring. The tare weight or TW is the weight of the cylinder empty. TW 18 would be a 18 pound empty cylinder. If you weigh a TW 18 cylinder on a bathroom scale, and it weighs 28 pounds there would be 10 pounds of propane remaining in the cylinder.

a typical steel "30 pound" liquid propane tank weighs about 25-28 pounds empty. propane tank markings (on collar) propane weighs about 4.125 pounds per gallon and a "30 pound tank" will hold about 7.5 gallons so a full tank will weigh about 55 pounds or so. Typical recertification stamp: MM XXX YY E MM -> 2 digit recertification month XXX ->3 character Re-qualifier's registration number YY -> 2 digit recertification year E ->States the cylinder has been externally examined WC -> Water capacity of the cylinder. TW -> Tare weight of the cylinder (what the tank weighs empty) ICC, DOT, BTE, CTC or TC -> Specification number eg. TC4BA240 10 89 -> Date of manufacture (October. 1989)
How much does a full 10 lb propane tank weigh?
Liquid PropaneThere will be a TW on the side of the cylinder this is the tare weight the weight of the cylinder empty. (TW 18.5) would be an 18.5 pound empty cylinder. A full cylinder will weigh 20 pounds more than the tare weight. Even with an OPD valve a 20 pound cylinder will still hold 20 pounds 95% of the time. If you exchange your tank they are only putting 15-18 pounds of propane in a cylinder that was designed to hold 20 pounds. If you have your cylinder refilled make sure they weigh it on a scale as they fill it and put twenty pounds in it the OPD SHOULD STOP THE PUMP AT THE SAME TIME THE SCALE TIPS.(The weight of th filling valve must be added usually 4-5 pounds). Also propane is stored in the tank as a liquid you use the vapor from the top of tank in your grill. As the vapor pressure lowers the liquid will boil into vapor when the vapor pressure is gone the cylinder is completely empty.A 20-pound tank contains about 4.1 gallons of LP, which weighs about 17 pounds. (LP has a specific gravity -- at 25 degrees C -- about half that of water.) The next time I run my tank empty, I'll weigh it. But I would be willing to bet it weighs about four pounds.
