It depends on the bottle size but if memory serves me correct I swapped a 70 cuft bottle of 75/25 Argon.CO2 mix gas for MIG and it was something like $35. That said we run 98/2 Argon/Oxygen at work and it's typically higher priced. I can't compair it bottle for bottle though as I have the small bottle at the house and the larger bottles at work.
As for getting only 1500 lbs in a bottle I think you got cheated. I can understand pressures being down a little if it's really cold outside, but for a bottle to be at least 500, and maybe even 1000 lbs lower than what a typical full bottle is just doesn't sound right. I've been welding for over 20 years and spent several in a fab shop doing MIG every day and even going through a bottle a week I have never seen a bottle with less than 2000 psi, even in the dead of winter (of course as someone pointed out in a previous post it doesn't get that cold here in NC as compaired to other parts of the country). Typical fill pressures I see are in the 2200 to 2500 range though I have had a few closer to 2800. That said I think I'd take that bottle back and tell them I wanted another.

I was working out of town last winter and went to the local branch of my welding supplier to pick up a fresh bottle of acetylene. The one they gave me showed only 125 psi on the guage. The ones I typically get are closer to 200psi give or take. I know these bottles are not filled by pressure so that shouldn't matter, and that was the the excuse given to me, along with the cold temp, being the reason for the lower than normal pressure. I refused that bottle for another and it showed closer to 190 on the guage. Clearly the first bottle was less than full as both bottles were the same size, and were setting side by side in the same temp, but showed way different pressures.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
