Let's say you have a keg perfectly carbonated to the ideal CO2 volumes at your serving temperature and pressure. For this example, let's assume that your CO2 volume is 2.3, your temp. is 42 degrees, and your pressure is 11 psi. What would the pressure gauge on your regulator read if you closed your CO2 tank, bled some pressure until the keg was at 5psi, and let it equilibrate? Will it eventually read your serving pressure of 11 psi?
Now let's say you carbed a keg to 1.5 times your normal CO2 volumes (overcarbed). For this example, we'll assume your CO2 volume is 3.44, your temp. is the same at 42 degrees, and the pressure is at 24 psi. If you now closed your CO2 tank, bled some pressure until the keg was at 5psi, and let it equilibrate, would it now go back up to 24 psi?
I'm trying to find a way to know how many volumes of CO2 are in a keg if you know the temp. and the pressure. Will this method work?
