What is LPG?

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is often incorrectly identified as propane. In fact, LPG is a mixture of petroleum and natural gases that exist in a liquid state at ambient temperatures when under moderate pressures (less than 1.5 MPa or 200 psi). The following table shows the specification (U.S. HD-5 LPG) used by suppliers for LPG-Propane. The typical composition of LPG is from a random sampling of LPG that is supplied in Alberta. The Specification and the random sampling that conforms to the Specifications, indicates that LPG is a quality product.




Specification of U.S. HD-5 LPG Typical Composition of LPG
Ethane 1.4 %. by liquid volume
Propane 90 % min. by liquid volume 96.1 % by liquid volume
Propylene 5 % max. by liquid volume 0.41 % by liquid volume
Butane & heavier HC 2.5 % max. by liquid volume 1.8 % by liquid volume
Sulfur 120 ppm max. by weight 0 ppm max. by weight
