Detail
1. Product Profile:
Product name: Liquefied Petroleum
Composition: LPG primarily consists of Propane (C₃H₈) and Butane (C₄H₁₀), and other hydrocarbons in smaller amounts, such as ethane and isobutane.
2. Properties:
State: Liquid when stored under pressure, gaseous at standard atmospheric conditions.
Color: Colorless.
Odor: Odorless in its natural state, but odorized (typically with ethyl mercaptan) for leak detection.
Density: Heavier than air when in gaseous form.
Energy Content: High calorific value (approximately 46 MJ/kg).
Boiling Point: Varies depending on the propane-butane ratio:
Propane: -42°C (-44°F)
Butane: -1°C (30°F)
3. Factory Name: LIAOCHENG LUXI FORMICACID CHEMICAL CO., LTD.
4. Application Fields:
Residential: Cooking, heating, and hot water supply.
Commercial and Industrial: Fuel for forklifts, boilers, and machinery. Feedstock in the petrochemical industry.
Transportation: Used as an alternative fuel for vehicles (commonly called "autogas").
Agriculture: Used in crop drying and as fuel for farm equipment.
Refrigeration: Occasionally used as a refrigerant (R290 for propane).
5. Safety and Handling:
Flammability: Highly flammable; avoid open flames or sparks near LPG storage.
Leaks: Heavier than air; can accumulate in low-lying areas, creating an explosion risk.
Storage: Cylinders and tanks must be stored upright in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources.
Pressure: Requires proper equipment to manage pressure in storage and use.
