1.5 gas
Liquid and gas specific density of natural gas
Liquid 0.424
Gas 0.6
Density equation is
Weight / volume
Density of water
10lbs/gal
1gal = 10lbs
Propane boiling point

Butane chemical formula
C4H10
When propane expands from liquid to gas how many times does it multiple by
270 times out of
Methane gas Calorifiic value
1000 BTU/ft3
Propane gas calorific value
2500 BTU/ft3
Propane releases how much more energy than gas
2 1/2 times more
Calorific value definition is
The C.V of liquid petroleum gases are expressed as btu per imperial gallon of liquid
How do you calculate BTU?
Weight of water x temperature rise x specific heat
