    LPG is liquefied petroleum gas that is extracted from oil and natural gas. It exists as a gas under normal conditions but can be liquefied under pressure or low temperatures. It is primarily used for cooking, heating, and fuel. Proper handling of LPG requires understanding its flammable and odorless properties to prevent fires and leaks. Safety is critical when transporting, storing, and using LPG.

    WHAT IS LPG?
     LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas
    - It is a petroleum product that exist as gas under
    normal atmospheric conditions and can be changed
    into liquid by an appropriate change in pressure or
    temperature.

    WHERE DO WE GET LPG? From (2) General sources;


    1. Oil or Gas fields. LPG being removed as
    condensable products from Natural Gas.
    2. At the refineries where crude oil is processed. LPG
    is produced by many refinery activities.

    CHARACTERISTICS
     LPG is liquid inside the container, but immediately transform
    to gas when released. As LPG evaporates, it looks like
    steam, but quickly
    become invisible.
     LPG like any other fuels it is flammable.
     LPG like any other liquid expands and contracts with
    changes in temperature.
     LPG is colorless, it is as clear as water in the liquid form.
     LPG is odorless and tasteless.
    - an odorant “ethyl mercaptan” is added,
    to aid the detection of any leaks. 1 liter of
    EM approx. 37 MT of LPG.
     LPG is 60% Butane and 40% Propane.

    LP GAS DENSITY
    LPG is slightly heavier than air and hence if there
    is a leak it flows to lower lying areas.

    LPG is half lighter than that of a water and hence


    it floats initially before it is vaporized.

    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION


    FLAMMABILITY, BOILING, TOXICITY
    LPG expands upon release and 1 liter of liquid
    LPG will form approximately 250 liters of vapor.

     LPG heating value is 46,800


    BTU/KG
     LPG flammability limit is 2% to 9%
     LPG boils at 100F

    LPG is non-toxic but can cause


    asphyxiation in very high
    concentrations in air.

    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION


    ADVANTAGES OF LPG
    LPG heats fast and instantly, thus reduce time.
    LPG equipment controls are
    simple and easy to handle.
    LPG can be used in many
    other ways.
    LPG equipment provide max. eff. At min.
    operational cost.
    LPG is dependable, no power interruption,
    ready supply.
    Installation and operation of LPG equipment
    can be easily understood by the user.
    LPG is safer than other sources of fuel.

    LPG CONTAINERS:
    LPG is placed in metal containers for easier
    and safer transportation and storage. Design,
    construction and installation of LPG
    containers considered as “Unfired Pressure
    Vessels” are governed by standards and
    codes promulgated by the American Society
    of Mechanical Engineers, the National Fire
    Protection Association and the Products
    Standards Agency of the Ministry of Trade
    and Industry.

    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION


    There are two types of LPG
    containers, namely:

    •Portable cylinders – cylinders with


    capacity up to 50 kgs are delivered to the
    customer`s home, already filled up at the
    bulk LPG refilling plant.
    •Tanks – the other type of fuel container
    commonly used is the permanently
    mounted storage tank. This is normally
    refilled at the customer`s place through the
    use of a tank truck LPG facility. LPG tanks for
    commercial and industrial consumers come in
    standard sizes of 120-gallon, 500-gallon,
    1,000-gallon and 2,050-gallon water capacity.

    SAFETY TIPS:
    1. Liquefied Petroleum Gas, (LPG) is odorized so that
    users can detect leaks. The odorizer is known as
    “ethyl mercaptan” which smells obnoxious
    precisely to attract attention to its presence.
    2. If you detect the presence of LPG, don`t strike a
    match or use an open flame to test for leaks. Open
    doors and windows to ventilate the room and make
    sure that all the burners of gas appliances are
    closed.
    3. LPG is heavier than air and naturally seeks a lower
    level when released to the atmosphere. Hence, a
    properly ventilated kitchen is necessary to allow
    4. the gas handle
    Always to continue escaping.in an upright position.

    DO`S AND DON`TS
    FOR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS SYSTEM

    DO’S
    1. Have the installation or repair made by a
    contractor experienced with these system.
    2. Periodically, the color of the flames should be
    checked. A yellow flame indicates poor
    combustion.
    3. Once the system is in operation, a person
    should use his nose as well as his eyes. LP
    Gas has been odorized so it can be detected.
    However, exposure to a small leak for a
    period of time may desensitize a person`s
    ability to smell it.
    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION
    4. Brush on a soap solution and look for bubbles
    in checking for leaks.
    5. Vacate the premises if leak is detected.
    6. Turn off the LP Gas at tank.
    7. Ventilate the house or building thoroughly if a
    leak occurs.
    8. Remember that the gas is heavier than air
    and will remain in low places for a long time.
    9. Correct the problem before using the system
    again.
    10.Have storage tanks placed away from
    building openings so any escaping gas cannot
    enter the building.

    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION


    DON’TS

    1. Don`t look for a leak with a match, candle,


    or other open light.
    2. Don`t try to repair an unfamiliar system by
    yourself. Call an experienced repair man.
    3. Don`t open the tank valves and allow vapor
    or liquid to escape into the air.
    4. Don`t allow weeds and grass to grow or
    trash to collect around the supply tanks.

    SAFETY IN HANDLING OF LPG

    When handled safely and correctly and


    when the user is familiar with its
    properties, LPG is as safe as any
    combustible material, whereas when
    handled carelessly, it can be a lethal
    weapon.

    ORO OXYGEN CORPORATION


    SAFETY IN HANDLING OF LPG
    The danger in connection with LPG may be
    due to various reasons, which may be
    classified under three items :
    Overfilling.
    Displacement of oxygen.
    Leaks/Fire.
    The most difficult factor to control is the human
    element.

    Most mistakes are caused either because of


    ignorance or simply because of carelessness.

    WHAT PROPERTIES OF LPG MUST
    BE KNOWN TO HANDLE IT SAFELY
    FLAMMABILITY
     LPG will burn in either the liquid or vapor
    form, but combustion requires both a source
    of ignition and a supply of oxygen.
     These three requirement – LPG (fuel), a
    source of ignition and oxygen - are
    sometimes called “The internal triangle”.
    Remove any one of the three and no
    combustion can take place.
     The basis of safe handling of LPG as far as
    flammability is concerned is to ensure that it
    has no contact with either oxygen (air) or a
    source of ignition.

    Aim at the base of the fire.


    Aim If you aim at the flames (which is
    frequently the temptation), the
    extinguishing agent will fly right
    through and do no good. You want
    to hit the fuel.

    Sweep from side to side.


    Sweep the nozzle back and forth at
    the base of the fire. Once the fire
