Hey 64th Gear Jammers, I’m Logan and obviously I’m not in Advantage Diecast’s warehouse today. I’m out to see a LPG storage tank farm.
Propane is a highly flammable gas and comes in steel cylinders or tanks. The movement of any propane cylinder or tank is fully regulated under the “Transportation of Dangerous Goods” (TDG) Regulations unless an exemption applies.
The use of “Liquefied Petroleum Gas” as the shipping name implies, is intended for variety of liquid petroleum gases.
What is propane? How is it liquefied? And how is it transported?
I think it is important mention a little about LPG-PROPANE. Propane is not made or manufactured, it is found naturally in combination with other hydrocarbons. Propane has a boiling point of -42 degrees Centigrade.
In its liquid state it has a temperature of Negative 188 degrees Centigrade or Negative 306.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's really cold.
Propane expands to 270 times the volume when it goes from liquid to gas.
So, 1 Liter of liquid propane will expand to 270 Liters of gaseous propane.
That's really a lot of gas.
Further, in its gaseous state propane is heavier than air and will tend to hug the ground.
Propane is transported in a liquid state under strict regulations. Unlike natural gas, which is delivered via pipeline, propane is transported under pressure by tank car, tanker ship, transport truck and local delivery trucks better known as bobtails.
