If I'm using a 340 cc cylinder filled with 3000PSI air?

to fill another cylinder of 34 cc to a pressure of 2000PSI, how many fills can I get from the larger cylinder before it's pressure drops below 2000PSI?

If you can supply the math for this, that would be great. I need this to help perform some experiments as I try to develop a product.

    Since 2000 is the cutoff point we will start from there. So lets put the big tank in terms of 2000PSI.

    so 340 x 3000 = 2000 * X

    x=510, this just says that a 510 cc tank at 2000PSI is the same amount of gas as 340 cc tank at 3000PSI.

    SO you will have 510-340 =170 cc of gas to use at 2000PSI

    170/34=5 so you can fill 5 tanks.
