A gaseous hydrocarbon of the alkane series (C3H8).
A natural hydrocarbon occurring in a gaseous state under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, however, propane is usually liquefied through pressurization for transportation and storage. Propane is primarily used for rural heating and cooking and as a fuel gas in areas not serviced by natural gas mains and as a petrochemical feed stock.
Liquefied petroleum gas for fuel.
A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. Propane is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of -42°C. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.
CAS Number: 74-98-6. A colorless, odorless, flammable gas used as a propellant in aerosol products, as a fuel for cooking (as in gas grills), and in cigarette lighters. A foul-smelling odorant is often added when propane is used for fuel purposes. Chemical formula = C3H8. Molecular weight = 44.1 g/mol.
Propane fired gas commercial and home-built kilns are quite common. However this process seems to generate more questions than any other, especially on the subject of propane tanks. If the propane tank is not large enough, for example, it will freeze up and be unable to supply the necessary fuel. People often underestimate the number of tanks needed for a firing and the rate at which a given tank can supply gas. The Clayart discussion group on the Internet has a lot of knowledge people in this area.
A form of liquified petrolem gas stored under pressure in a gas bottle. The bottles are usually coloured orange. This is the form of LPG generally used on narrowboats. See Butane for another form of LPG.
a heavy gaseous hydrocarbon found in crude oil and natural gas; used as fuel and in the making of petrochemicals.
An alkane having the formula C3H8. Propane is the major constituent of LP gas. Explosive limits of 2.4% to 9%. One cubic foot of propane has a heating value of 2500 BTUs.
colorless gas found in natural gas and petroleum; used as a fuel
A hydrocarbon gas that is one of the ingredients in natural gas. Propane molecules each contain three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms.
A colourless, odourless, non-toxic LPG containing more heat value than natural gas.
Colourless, odourless gas of alkane series of hydrocarbons. It occurs in crude oil, in natural gas, and as a by-product of petroleum refining.
A gaseous hydrocarbon with the characteristics of the predominant molecule CH3CH2CH3.
C3H8, an easily liquefiable hydrocarbon gas.
A normally gaseous hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 143.67 degrees Fahrenheit. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams and used for home heating and cooking.
a manufactured gas typically used for cooking or heating.
or R290, although a naturally occurring substance that can be used as a refrigerant it is also a highly flammable gas and must be carefully used.
A component of natural gas consisting of three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms, condenses into a liquid at relatively low temperature and pressure
An easily liquefiable hydrocarbon gas. Propane is one of the components of raw natural gas, and it is also derived from petroleum refining processes. Its chemical formula is C3 H8.
(C3H8) a hydrocarbon having three carbon atoms
Aliphatic hydrocarbon gas used as a fuel gas in thermal spray processes.
LPG, or liquefied petroleum gas, used in RVs for heating, cooking and refrigeration. Also called bottle gas, for manner in which it is sold and stored.
A fuel comprised primarily of propane which is a gas at atmospheric pressures and is a liquid at the moderate pressures used for storage, propane fuel quality varies dramatically depending on the source of the fuel. See also LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas).
A heavy gas stored under pressure and burned to produce heat.
A light hydrocarbon gaseous at normal room temperature but can be liquefied under moderate pressure. Has a boiling point of about -40oC. Sold by Calor Gas Ltd in Red cylinders.
A liquefied petroleum gas (C3H8) containing more heat value than natural gas that is used for grain drying.
a paraffinic hydrocarbon that is a gas at ordinary atmospheric conditions but is easily liquefied under pressure. It is a constituent of liquefied petroleum gas.
A very hot burning common artificial gas used in the neon industry when natural gas is not available.
A liquefied petroleum gas (see LPG) containing more heat value than natural gas. It is colorless, odorless and non-toxic.
A colorless natural gas that is slightly heavier than air. Approved as a spray propellant and as an aerating agent for cosmetics in aerosols. Not harmful to the earth's ozone layer.
Gas used by motorhomes in colder conditions. Supplied in red cylinders
A term commonly used for LP gas.
a gaseous hydrocarbon of the methane series obtained from petroleum.
See Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
(formula: C3H8) A colorless hydrocarbon fuel that occurs in both gaseous and liquid form and that is produced from natural gas or crude oil.
A heavy, colorless, gaseous hydrocarbon of the methane series which occurs naturally in petroleum and used as fuel in refrigerants, aerosols, soldering torches, etc.
A hydrocarbon (C3H8) which is heavier than air and can be used in heating applications.
A colourless, odourless hydrocarbon gas, liquified at relatively low pressure and therefore easily stored in cylinders for use as a fuel. Propane (C3H8) is a byproduct of natural gas processing plants and petroleum refineries.
A hydrocarbon gas, C3H8, occurring in crude oil, natural gas, and refinery cracking gas. It is used as a fuel, a solvent, and a refrigerant. Propane liquefies under pressure and is the major component of liquefied petroleum (LPG).
Third member of the alkane family, formula C3H8. Emissions of propane are usually associated with anthropogenic activity, and its presence in an air mass can be a good indicator of pollution.
Propane is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a liquid that is transportable. It is derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. It is commonly used as a heat source for engines, barbecues, and homes.
