Explanations on Chinese Liquefied Petroleum Gas
1. The Chinese government stipulates that the standard weight of each liquefied gas cylinder is 14.5 kilograms (with a floating weight of 0.5 kilograms)
2. The filling capacity is (14.5 ± 0.5) kg, which means the total amount of steel cylinder after filling is (30.5 ± 0.5) kg
3. Liquefied petroleum gas has a pressure of 0.8 megapascals at 20 degrees Celsius and can reach a pressure of 1.59 megapascals at 40 degrees Celsius. If the volume of liquefied petroleum gas remains constant, the pressure increases by 0.04 megapascals for every 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature, so each steel cylinder can only be filled with 85%, which is 14.5 kilograms
4. Liquefied petroleum gas and coal gas are both artificially produced, while natural gas is commonly known as natural gas. Liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas are the main gases used in liquefied gas tanks for daily use. It should be noted that the gas inside the commonly referred to "gas tank" is not coal gas, but liquefied petroleum gas
5. The main components of liquefied petroleum gas are propane and butane, which are a new type of fuel. The use of liquefied petroleum gas has the advantages of low pollution, high heat generation, easy transportation, and simple storage. However, it has a side effect that if it leaks during use, it can pose great harm to human health
6. Liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas are both colorless and odorless gases, but due to their flammable and explosive properties, for safety reasons, the gas supplied to households will contain a chemical agent that smells like rotten eggs. Under outdoor conditions, methane is lighter than air, so once leaked, it will quickly dissipate, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of explosion to a certain extent
