LPG

LPG Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a flammable hydrocarbon gas mixture primarily composed of propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀). It is stored and transported in liquid form under moderate pressure and is used as a versatile fuel source. Characteristics of LPG: Colorless & Odorless (a distinctive odorant, usually ethyl mercaptan, is added for safety). Highly Flammable with a clean-burning flame. Stored in Cylinders or Tanks under pressure. Energy Efficient with a high calorific value. Common Uses of LPG: Domestic Use: Cooking, heating, and water heating. Industrial Applications: Metal cutting, drying, and furnaces. Automotive Fuel: Used in vehicles as Autogas. Agricultural Use: Crop drying and pest control. Advantages of LPG: Eco-Friendly: Lower carbon emissions than coal and gasoline. Efficient & Reliable: High energy content with minimal residue. Portable & Easy to Store: Available in cylinders and bulk supply. Versatile: Used in homes, industries, and vehicles. Safety Considerations: Always store LPG cylinders upright in a well-ventilated area. Check for leaks using soapy water (never use a flame). Keep away from direct heat sources and open flames. Use regulators and hoses that meet safety standards.
