What is Propane? Propane is also referred to as liquefied petroleum gas, often shortened to "LP gas" or "LPG". It's an alternative fuel that's a byproduct of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. It's safe, clean, powerful, and reliable-and it's powering homes and businesses all over the world.

Properties of Propane

Propane has no smell Colorless, odorless, and tasteless Odorant is added Propane as a liquid Boiling point at -44° F To stay as a liquid, it needs to be stored under pressure Propane is lighter than water Propane as vapor Propane vapor is 1 ½ times heavier than air It settles into low lying areas When released into the air it expands 270 times it's original volume Miscellaneous Liquid propane expands 17 times more than water with temperature changes Propane vapor is heavier than air, but propane liquid is lighter than water Achieves stability in tanks

What is a Propane Tank? Propane tanks are the storage containers for propane in its liquid form and are available in many different sizes being engineered and designed for propane containment at high pressures.

1000 Gallon Tank Dimensions: 16' 2" long and 41" in diameter Uses: Home heating for larger square footage homes or homes with all appliances running on propane. Large commercial appliances and heating, fleet and transportation refueling. A 1000 gallon propane tank holds 800 gallons when full.

500 Gallon Propane Tank Dimensions: 9' 11" long and 37.5" in diameter Uses: Primarily used for home heating or homes with 2-3 propane appliances such as supplemental or space heaters, hot water heaters, and generators. Commercial applications include heating, temporary heating, cooking, and a variety of agricultural applications. A 500 gallon propane tank holds 400 gallons of propane when full.

250 Gallon Propane Tank Dimensions: 7'10" long and 30" in diameter Uses: Supplemental heating or 2 home appliances including water heaters, generators, and pool heaters. A 250 gallon propane tank holds 200 gallons of propane when full.

120 Gallon Propane Tank Dimensions: 4'6" in height and 30" in diameter Uses: 1-2 residential appliances. Commonly used for a hot water heater or space heater alone, or with another small appliance like a dryer or cooktop. Commercial uses include dry cleaning, temporary heating, commercial cooking, and heating smaller spaces. A 120 gallon propane tank is also commonly referred to as 420 lb propane tank. 120 gallon propane tanks hold 96 gallons of propane when full.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Aboveground Tank

Service valve Right --- Tight Left --- Loose

Aboveground tank features

• Float gauage/ dial guage - measures the level of liquid propane in the tank
• Service valve - opens the tank (righty tighty lefty loosey)
• Filler valve - Intake of the tank
• Fixed maximum liquid level guage - used to measure the capacity of the tank when filling
• Vapor equalizing valve - indicated capacity of tank and equalize the level of the tank when it is has too much

(Typical gauges on an aboveground tank. Pressure relief and liquid withdrawal valves not shown.)

What is a Propane Cylinder? Cylinders range widely in size and use. Cylinders fall into two groups of propane service, liquid and vapor. • Unlike tanks which are part of a stationary installations, propane cylinders are portable storage containers. 100#, 200#, 300# and 420# cylinders can also be part of a stationary installations and would be treated as bulk in some situations.
