Detailed explanation-1: -liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also called LP gas, any of several liquid mixtures of the volatile hydrocarbons propene, propane, butene, and butane. It was used as early as 1860 for a portable fuel source, and its production and consumption for both domestic and industrial use have expanded ever since.

Detailed explanation-2: -LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. The gases are liquified at 15 degree centigrade and above atmospheric pressure.

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).

Detailed explanation-5: -At normal ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure LPG exists as a gas, though it can be liquified when exposed to lower temperatures of when exposed to moderate pressure. Generally, converting gas into liquid occurs during the natural gas processing and oil refining stages.
