Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)

CHARACTERISTICS OF LPG

• LPG (Liquified Gasolineeum Gas) is
mainly a mixture of propane and
butane. It has the essential character-
istic by which it becomes liquid when
subjected to optimum pressure and
cooling and becomes gas when pres-
sure is reduced or by heating.
• Pure LPG has no color and no smell.
Some additives are added for smell in
order to detect any gas leakage.
• Gaseous Propane is 1.5 times heavier
and butane is 2 times heavier than air.
• Volume of LPG increases more than
250 times when changed to gas from
liquid, so liquid state is easier for trans-
portation and storage.
• It is economical because consumption
of engine oil is lower and fuel cost is
less than others.
