That chart is not helpful. Try:

Welding Cylinder Data (capacity is in cubic feet @ 2100 psi)                

Oxygen / Argon / Helium / Other High Pressure                        
Tank Designator        Capacity Height Dia. (height w/o cap & valve)
K 251 51" 9"
S 156 46" 7 3/8"
M 125 47" 7"
Q 92 30" 7 1/8"
R 20 14" 5 1/4"

Acetylene                        
Tank Designator        Capacity Height Dia.
#5 350 45" 12"
#4 150 38" 8"
#3 75 29" 7"

From Ernie's welding class notes.

Thanks Grant....and Ernie. ;<)

Interesting the difference in volume between the S and M tanks...one
inch shorter and 3/8" larger with a 25% difference?

The chart doesn't indicate, but it may be a higher pressure tank, like
2215 vs. 2015.

Coulple more questions....what cylinders are the most commonly used in
a home shop?

I have seen a number of different ones used.

Is it better to have more smaller cylinders or fewer larger cylinders?

This is for A/Ox, MIG and TIG setups that one finds in the home shop.
