There is no specific number of BTUs in one cubic meter of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The amount of BTUs in a gas is determined by its composition and heating value, which can vary. However, carbon monoxide generally has a lower heating value compared to other gases like methane or propane.
Gas is compressible. As long as you can keep increasing the pressure, you can stuff as much oxygen into a bottle or a tank as you want to, until it bursts.
Btu / scf = Btu / lb X MW / 379.5 where: MW = molecular weight of the gas, lb / lb-mol The constant 379.5 is the molar volume at standard conditions of 14.696 psia and 60°F
The capacity varies: there is no standard quantity.
