LPG is superior to other fuels because it can easily be liquefied under pressure, stored and transported conveniently in steel cylinders, and can vaporize easily even at low temperatures. Because LPG is a liquefied gas under pressure and has a boiling point of approximately 0☌, it is in gaseous state at room temperature. The liquid LPG at the bottom evaporates to replace the depleted gas using the thermal energy it draws from its surroundings. When the device connected to the bottled gas starts to be used, the gaseous LPG at the top is depleted. FeaturesĬylinder Gas is present in both liquid and gas forms. In Turkey, LPG used in household gas cylinders consists of 70% butane and 30% propane. LPG is the generic name of the butane and propane gases and their mixtures in different proportions. LPG, which is heavier than air due to its high density, is a hydrocarbon-based combustible gas. LPG is produced by refining crude oil in refineries or from natural gas and delivered to the consumers in steel tanks. However, a special odor has been intentionally added so that a potential leak can be detected easily. Each tank installed shall be reported on an Office of State Fire Marshal LPG Tank Installation Notice Form.Colloquially known as “cylinder gas”, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a source of energy used for cooking, heating and lightning.

The notification must be submitted no later than the last day of the month following the month of installation. Propane companies are required to notify the Office of State Fire Marshal of all liquefied petroleum gas tank installations. Exception: If the total quantity of tanks reported at one site does not exceed 200 gallons, only one fee of $50 must to be submitted, but each tank still must be reported on a separate form. A $50 notice fee shall accompany each tank reported. Requires $60 fee and completion of exam for a two-year license.
