Cooking gas also known as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is a source of energy used for cooking, heating and lightning. Cooking gas is a colorless and odorless gas.
However, a special odor has been intentionally added so that a potential leak can be detected easily.
Cooking gas is produced by refining crude oil in refineries or from natural gas and delivered to the consumers in steel tanks. LPG, which is heavier than air due to its high density, is a hydrocarbon-based combustible gas.
LPG is the generic name of the butane and propane gases and their mixtures in different proportions. In Turkey, LPG used in household gas cylinders consists of 70% butane and 30% propane.
Cylinder Gas is present in both liquid and gas forms but mostly in gaseous form.
Because LPG is a liquefied gas under pressure and has a boiling point of approximately 0°C, it is in gaseous state at room temperature.
