The pressure in a 50kg LPG gas cylinder can vary, but typically it ranges from 2.0 to 2.3 MPa (megapascals) at 15°C.
The filling pressure in an LPG cylinder refers to the amount of pressure at which the cylinder is filled with liquefied petroleum gas. This pressure can vary depending on factors such as the type of gas being used and the ambient temperature. Typically, the filling pressure for LPG cylinders ranges from 2 to 10 bar.
Pressure in an LPG cylinder is dependant of the ambient temperature and the LPG mix considered. For 70% Propane and 30% Butane at 20 degrees Celsius the pressure is 102 PSI (lb/sq.in.) or 703 KPa. Please be aware that the pressure inside an LPG vessel will not drop as vapour LPG is being used. LPG cylinder is not to be understood and dealt with as a pressurised gas storage cylinder that will drop in pressure if gas is being taken out of the cylinder. LPG cylinder contains both liquid and vapour, as vapour is being used at an appliance the liquid vaporises under natural conditions and generates more vapour, hence the efficiency of the LPG storage systems.
The weight distribution in an LPG gas cylinder is concentrated in a smaller area, making it feel heavier to lift compared to a person whose weight is distributed over a larger surface area. Additionally, the shape and design of the gas cylinder make it more awkward to lift compared to lifting a person.
The weight of an empty LPG gas cylinder typically ranges from 15 to 35 kilograms, depending on the size and capacity of the cylinder.
LPG / propane expands when it turns from liquid to gas, and this process absorbs heat energy from the air, via the cylinder. This causes cooling and often condensation of water vapor on the tank.

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.
A propane tank. A cigarette lighter. Almost anything that holds low pressure gas.

Additionally, the shape and design of the gas cylinder make it more awkward to lift compared to lifting a person.
The liquid in an LPG cylinder vaporizes into a gas due to the increase in temperature and pressure when the gas is released from the cylinder. As the gas escapes through the valve, it expands and absorbs heat from its surroundings, causing it to vaporize into a gaseous state. This conversion process allows LPG to be used as a fuel for various applications.
When LPG comes out of the cylinder, it changes from a liquid to a gas due to the decrease in pressure. This phase change causes it to expand rapidly and cool down, which is why LPG feels cold when released. The gas is then ready to be ignited and used as a fuel for various applications.
The weight of an empty LPG gas cylinder typically ranges from 15 to 35 kilograms, depending on the size and capacity of the cylinder.
LPG cylinders are typically filled at specialized filling stations by qualified technicians. The process involves connecting the cylinder to a pump that transfers the liquefied gas from a storage tank into the cylinder. Strict safety protocols are followed to ensure proper filling and minimize risks of leaks or accidents.

Pressurized cylinders for LPG are made of steel.
