Because it's stored under pressure, all pressurised gas containers are cylindrical or spherical to eliminate corners which would be the weakest point.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sphere is a very strong structure. The even distribution of stresses on the sphere's surfaces, both internally and externally, generally means that there are no weak points. That's why a drop of water forms a spherical shape when under free fall, in short, it achieves a shape where all the resultant stresses neutralize when no external force(gravity) is acting on it. Moreover, they have a smaller surface area per unit volume than any other shape of vessel. This means, that the quantity of heat transferred from warmer surroundings to the liquid in the sphere, will be less than that for cylindrical or rectangular storage vessels. Thus less pressurization due to external heat.

Which condition is needed to keep stored LPG in a liquid state?
To keep stored LPG in a liquid state, it needs to be kept at a pressure higher than its vapor pressure at the prevailing temperature. This usually involves storing it in pressurized containers such as cylinders or tanks designed for LPG storage. Additionally, maintaining the temperature below its boiling point helps to prevent the liquid LPG from vaporizing.
Why is it Lpg is stored in steel container?
LPG is stored in steel containers because steel is strong and durable, providing a safe way to contain the high pressure of the gas. Steel is also resistant to corrosion and can withstand changes in temperature, making it a reliable choice for storing LPG.
Why lpg is better fuel than coal?
LPG is considered a better fuel than coal because it is cleaner burning, causing fewer emissions of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and particulate matter. LPG is also easier to handle and transport than coal, as it is a gaseous fuel that can be easily stored in tanks. Additionally, LPG combustion releases fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal, making it more environmentally friendly.
Why lpg stored in iron cylinders instead of rubbers and plastics?
LPG is stored in iron cylinders because iron is a strong and durable material that can withstand the high pressure at which LPG is stored. Rubber and plastics may not be able to handle the pressure or may degrade over time when in contact with LPG, posing safety risks. Iron cylinders are also more fire-resistant than rubber or plastic, providing an added layer of safety.
In lpg cylinder the gas filled is in the liquified state?
Yes, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) is stored in liquid form under pressure in a gas cylinder. This allows for a larger volume of gas to be stored in a smaller space, making it easier for transportation and use.

Why are cylinders are used transport LPG gas?
LPG gas is transported under pressure, and cylinders are just the easiest way to build pressure vessels. If you'd try to put it on square containers, the sides would bulge, and spherical tanks are awkard to make and to transport.
What fuel is stored as a liquid in pressurized tanks?
Propane and LNG, liquid natural gas are two of the most common. Hydrogen and oxygen used by NASA is also stored as pressurized liquid.
Why is it Lpg is stored in steel container?

What is lpg tanker?
LPG = Liquid Propane Gas. A LPG tanker is a big ship with tanks to carry the liquid propane gast at low temperature.
How do convert 28 liter water tank to LPG liter?
Probably not a very sensible idea. Water tanks are unlikely to be rated for the pressures used for LPG tanks, and LPG, being both flammable and explosive, is not the stuff that you want to play with.
What is tanker?
LPG = Liquid Propane Gas. A LPG tanker is a big ship with tanks to carry the liquid propane gast at low temperature.
What are the differences between LPG and natural gas, and which one is more suitable for residential use?
The main differences between LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) and natural gas are their composition and storage. LPG is a mixture of propane and butane that is stored in tanks as a liquid, while natural gas is mostly methane and is delivered through pipelines as a gas. For residential use, natural gas is generally more suitable because it is more convenient and cost-effective. It is delivered directly to homes through pipelines, whereas LPG requires storage tanks that need to be refilled periodically. Additionally, natural gas is often cheaper and burns cleaner than LPG.
What are the benefits of having an LPG Tank for domestic use?
LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) Tanks are usually available in areas where access to a gas supply is not available. With a LPG Tank, the liquid vaporizes into gas in the upper level of the tank. The tanks are then tapped and connected to appliances for cooking and heating purposes.
Why lpg is better fuel than coal?

Additionally, LPG combustion releases fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal, making it more environmentally friendly.
What is the name of a fuel that is stored in tanks and used in cars?
Diesel is a fuel that is used in cars and stored in tanks. Gasoline / Petrol is another fuel that is used in cars and stored in tanks.
What safety devices are on LPG tanks?
water. seter valve. afromination valve. blumpkin valve
