LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbon gases, most commonly propane, butane, and propylene. is used as a fuel in a range of applications including in heating and cooking appliances, industrial applications, vehicles and as a propellant and refrigerant.

1. Propane (C3H8):

    • Description: Propane is one of the primary components of LPG and is known for its high energy content.
    • Properties: It is a clean-burning gas with a low boiling point, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including heating, cooking, and as a fuel for vehicles and engines.

 

2. Butane (C4H10):

    • Description: Butane is another component of LPG, often blended with propane to create LPG fuel.
    • Properties: Butane has a slightly lower energy content than propane and is commonly used in portable stoves, lighters, and as a propellant in aerosol cans.

 

3. Commercial LPG (Propane-Butane Blend):

    • Description: Commercial LPG is a blend of propane and butane in varying proportions, typically adjusted for specific climate conditions and intended uses.
    • Properties: Commercial LPG is widely used for heating, cooking, and as a fuel for vehicles, forklifts, and industrial equipment.

 

Overall Classification: LPG, or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, encompasses propane and butane, either used individually or as a blend. These gases are versatile and valuable as clean-burning fuels for heating, cooking, vehicle fuel, and various industrial applications. The specific composition of LPG can vary based on regional standards and intended uses.
