For Example

The minimum specified volume of a 48G cylinder is 139 ft³
- 139 ft³ x 62.37 lb/ft³ = 8,670 LB of water
Nameplate water weight must exceed 8,670 LB, then
- 95% (139 x 203.3) = 26,840 LB UF₆

This is the published fill limit

For each type of cylinder, a fill limit is calculated and published based on the minimum specified volume and allowing for a 5% void space when heated to 250°F.
