Ethanethiol is commonly used as an odorant in LPG to detect leaks.
ethyl mercaptan
hydrogen sulphidte
ethyle mercaptans are the substance added to LPG
Besides electronic detectors, there are 2 common means. The first is smell. A chemical- mercaptan- is added to LPG that gives it a horrible smell. The second is bubbles. Connections in piping can be checked for leaks with a soap solution. If it is leaking, it makes bubbles at the point of the leak.
Not sure about chemical? But there are highly sensitivity alarm metres for detecting the leakage of liquid petroleum gas (LPG, butane, propane etc), and natural gas. One method I once used to find a leaking joint on a gas cooker was to apply washing-up liquid round the joints until a joint bubbling up pin-pointed the leak.
hydrogen sulphide...
ethyl mercaptan
hydrogen sulphidte
ethanithiol ( IUPAC) ethyl mercaptan is added in lpg to detect leakage by the odour.
Ethyl Mercaptane is C2H5SH. It is a sulphur containing organic compound. It is added into LPG so as to detect any leakage of LPG. The Pungent smell that comes from LPG is tht of ethyl mercaptane,otherwise LPG is an odourless gas.
Yes, Liquified Petroleum Gas is a Gas. It is a mixture of butane and propane. Also ethyl mercaptan is added to LPG to detect the gas leakage.
Natural gas is odourless. Gas for domestic use - has chemicals added to create a smell, so leaks can be detected.
Mercapta is added to LPG to make sure wheather it is leaking or not.
ethyle mercaptans are the substance added to LPG
yes

It is the smelliest substance know, and LPG is odorlessi'm 12 and I know the answer so wat..
