liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also called LP gas, any of several liquid mixtures of the volatile hydrocarbons propene, propane, butene, and butane. It was used as early as 1860 for a portable fuel source, and its production and consumption for both domestic and industrial use have expanded ever since.Water boils at 100°C or 212°F, becoming a gas (steam). In contrast, LPG (propane) boils at -42°C or –44°F, becoming gas vapor. LPG stays liquid because it is under pressure in a gas cylinder.The properties of LPG (propane) are -42°C boiling point, -188°C freezing point, heavier than air density, C3H8 chemical formula, 1967ºC flame temperature, 470°C auto ignition temperature, -104°C flash point, temperature based pressure, Ethyl Mercaptan odour, 2.15% to 9.6% LPG/air limits of flammability and more.
