What Chemical added to detect any leakage of LPG is?
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.
How do you detect a leakage in 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.
