Helium tank filling parts to a specific pressure?

[rothrj]

Homework Statement

I have a tank that has 8000 cubic feet of helium in it. I have parts I'm filling to a gage pressure of 0.5 bar. The parts have a volume of 0.05ft^3. How many cubic feet of helium are in each part? Temperature is constant.

Homework Equations

I'm not sure if I'm missing any important variables...

The Attempt at a Solution

I figured it would be 0.05ft^3 * 0.5 bar = 0.025 cubic feet per part, but I'm not sure?

Any help? (I'm a rookie)

Please note that the parts are being filled "to a gage pressure of 0.5 bar" and recognize the significance of gage pressure as opposed to absolute pressure.

Also is the He gas in the 8000 ft³ tank at 1 atm pressure? If so, one has to compress the He from an initial pressure to the higher pressure in the part.

So do I use absolute pressure instead of gage pressure? So 1.5 bar instead of 0.5 bar?

The 8000 ft^3 is the amount of He inside the tank at 1 bar not the size of the tank. I'm not sure what the size of the tank is.
