Study Notes
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- LPG is a portable, clean-burning, and efficient fuel commonly used as a fuel for various applications
Characteristics of Propane and Butane
- Propane and butane are the two primary components of LPG
- Both propane and butane are heavier than air, meaning they sink to the ground when released
- This characteristic of sinking to the ground is important to consider when handling LPG, as it can accumulate in low-lying areas and pose a risk of explosion or fire
Maintenance of Gas Cylinders
- Gas cylinders should be regularly inspected and maintained in good working order to ensure safe operation
- Poorly maintained cylinders can lead to leaks, fires, or explosions, posing a significant risk to people and property
