LPG cylinders

Due to LPG’s physical characteristics, it needs to be stored in a high-pressure environment. This can be attained by bottles (cylinders) or bulk tanks where particularly large quantities of LPG are required. LPG cylinders come in several sizes – 9kg, 19kg, 48g and a 19kg for fork-lift trucks.

At home, on the farm, within commercial enterprises or industry, cylinders are used for a whole host of applications. Take a look at these individual sections, to find out exactly how LPG cylinders are being used.
