SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
• LiquidPropane(LP)gasisapetroleumproductasaregasolineandnaturalgas.LP
gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate pressure, inside
a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid. As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes
and becomes gas.
