Actually, I did the math wrong when I double-checked the numbers
(blush), and the tank compressibility is the bigger part.
So:
- "ideal gas, bar=atm": 1464 liters
- "ideal gas, atm correction": 1445 liters
- "gas compressibility and atm correction": 1367 liters
At 220 bar, the incompressibility of gas means that it actually only
has compressed as much as you'd expect an ideal gas at ~213 bar, so
that's actually much more noticeable factor than the 1.013 factor from
atmospheric pressure in bar.
