by using a pressure regulator calibrated to 100mbar
A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs
Just doing some research on conversion myself and found the following resource which was helpfulhttp://www.ct.gov/drs/cwp/view.asp?A=1511&Q=267170basicallyCOMPRESSED PROPANE (GASEOUS FORM) EQUIVALENCY INFORMATION: At 14.73 lbs. of pressure per square inch (psi) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit: * 1 cubic foot propane = 0.0278 gallons propane * 100 cubic feet propane = 2.78 gallons propane * 1 gallon propane = 35.97 cubic feet propane * 100 gallons propane = 3597 cubic feet propane Hope this helps
23.6 gallons. That's the volume of 100 lbs of propane, however, they only fill to about 80% (to allow room for expansion with temperature; otherwise you'd blow out liquid propane!).
Pure water boils at 100oC at a "normal" air pressure of 1 atm. ( = 1000 milliBar = 1 Bar = 101.3 kPa). Only at a higher pressure water can be heated to a higher temperature (e.g. 138oC at 3.4 atm.). Steam can be 'overheated', not water.
The pressure inside a propane tank depends on the ambient temperature of the tank and if Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) is present inside the tank. It has nothing to do with the size of the tank. A 20 lb tank that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG, just as a 200 lb that is not more than 80% full, in an 100 degree F environment, with LPG in it, will have approximately 172 PSIG. Examples are: A tank with LPG (no more than 80% full) at 80 degree F with have 128 PSIG, 60 degree F with have 92 PSIG, 30 degree F with have 51 PSIG, and -20 degree F with have 11 PSIG. This explains the decrease in pressure as you use a large amount of propane from a tank quickly. The tank cools due to the venture effect which drops the temperature of the LPG. The drop in temperature results in a drop in pressure. When the tank warms up, as long as Liquid Propane Gas is still present the pressure will go up.

atmospheric pressure in measured in millibars
Propane is a gas a room temperature if it is not compressed. However, if it put in a canister under high enough pressure, it will be a liquid even at room temperature. Propane is a liquid below -44 degrees F or if its compressed. Grill bottles are only fillid 80% full with liquid. so you can use the propane gas on the top of the bottle.
According to a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) from a Propane distributor for propane, the vapour pressure is 189-208 PSI @ 38 C (100 F)
1 millibar = 100 Pa(conversion website in link)
.1333 kpa in 1 mmHg
Millibars is spelled as "millibars." It is a unit of measurement used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. One millibar is equal to one thousandth of a bar, which is approximately equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

100 pound propane tank will hold 23.58 gallon. 100 pounds / 4.24 pounds per gallon = 23.58 gallons
One millibar is equal to 100 pascals (Pa). So, 1012 mb x 100 = 101,200 Pa
