Detailed explanation-1: -LPG stands for “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” and the term is used to describe two Natural Gas Liquids: propane and butane, or a mix of the two. Propane and butane are chemically quite similar but the small differences in their properties mean that they are particularly suited to specific uses.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is called liquefied gas because it is easily transformed into a liquid. LPG needs only low pressure or refrigeration to change it into liquid from its gaseous state. As a gas, LPG expands to 270 times its volume as a liquid.
Detailed explanation-3: -LPG is used as a fuel in a range of applications including in heating and cooking appliances, industrial applications, in vehicles and as a propellant and refrigerant.
Detailed explanation-4: -Also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane autogas, propane is a clean-burning alternative fuel that’s been used for decades to power light-, medium-, and heavy-duty propane vehicles. Propane is a three-carbon alkane gas (C3H8). It is stored under pressure inside a tank as a colorless, odorless liquid.
