Propane is not generally transported as a gas. In its gaseous form it would be far too voluminous. It is normally transported as a liquid compressed into cylinders. No special cooling is required during transport. However accidental puncture of the cylinders or extreme temperatures can cause the cylinders to explode.

∙ 14y agosimple... the fact that the boiling point for propane is around -47 is the answer- imagine how much energy it would take just to get it to that low temperature just to transport a small amount more of the propane itself, kind of defeats the object right?
hench propane gas is transported in cylinders...

Is liquid more condensed than gas?
yes, the atoms are more compressed in liquid than gas
Why is oxygen transported into space as a liquid?
You can store more fuel if it's present as a liquid because the particles are closer together than the particles in a gas.
What mixture made by mixing a liquid and gas?
Be more specific like which liquid and which gas
Do particles move faster in a gas or liquid?
Particles generally move faster in a gas compared to a liquid. In a gas, particles have more energy and move more freely and quickly as they are not as tightly packed as in a liquid. Conversely, in a liquid, particles are closer together and interact more, resulting in slower movement.
Why diffusion occur more quickly in gas than in liquid?
Gas particles can move around more that liquid particles. Thus making it quicker for gas to diffuse.
Why natural gas is transported to other countries in liquid state?
Far more gas can be transported when it is in liquid form, approx. 600 litres of natural gas can be transported as just 1 litre of liquid, it is therefore far more economical and practical to transport the gas as a liquid.
Which are more economical, gas or electric water heaters?
Gas heaters can be more economical. If there is a high supply of gas in the area it would have cheaper prices. Electric can be cheaper in other areas though.
IS LPG GAS a fuel oil?
EXACTLY NO WHY BECAUS LPT IS LIQUID PETROLIUM GAS,THAT MEANS WHER THE GAS GET THE LIQUID STAGE AT THAT POINT THEY CATCH THE LIQUID AND THEY COMPRESS THE GAS AND STORE IN A CYLINDER EXACTLY NO WHY BECAUS LPT IS LIQUID PETROLIUM GAS,THAT MEANS WHER THE GAS GET THE LIQUID STAGE AT THAT POINT THEY CATCH THE LIQUID AND THEY COMPRESS THE GAS AND STORE IN A CYLINDER
What kind of gas will last more miles?
DIESEL is more economical than normal petrol/gas
Why aren't large SUVs economical?
Large SUV's are not economical because they could be referred to as "gas guzzlers". With such a large size they use up more gas then a smaller sized SUV and with gas prices on the rise it can become much more expensive to drive.
Would it be economical to produce 100 percent pure liquid oxygen and then convet it into gas form as required?
Probably not due to the extreme cold required to make oxygen liquid.
Can anhydrous ammonia become liquid ammonia?
Anhydrous ammonia is usually stored as a liquid by keeping it under pressure. It is more efficient to store it that way than as a gas.
Is liquid more condensed than gas?
yes, the atoms are more compressed in liquid than gas
Why is oxygen transported into space as a liquid?
You can store more fuel if it's present as a liquid because the particles are closer together than the particles in a gas.
Why is natural gas compressed and liquefied?
It makes the gas easier and more economical to transport over long distances.
Is bromine more stable as gas or liquid?
Liquid.
What has more energy gas liquid or solid?
Solid has more energy. It has extensive energy as compared to liquid and gas.
