According to the people at PST: "Scuba cylinders are rated at their maximum
service pressure for volume.Example is LP series is 80cf @ 2640psi or HP
series is 80 cf @ 3500 psi."

Thus the LP-120s refer to 2640psi.
The metric volume then is:
(120Cuft = 3397.9 liters) / (2640 psi = 182.03 bar) = 18.67 liters. (this
exact number is probably not entirely correct though, because of some
uncertain factors involved...)

Regards,
Andreas
