LPG Tank: LPG Tank Sizes – LPG Gas Tank Sizes – Propane Tank Sizes

Our standard LPG tank sizes are 45kg, 90kg or 210kg. An LPG tank (propane tank) or LPG storage tanks is made from welded steel and is designed for the required pressures and heat expansion of the stored hydrocarbon gases, including propane and butane. LPG tanks are frequently seen at petrol stations for LPG Autogas storage.

LPG tanks and storage vessels include everything from small BBQ gas bottles to LPG cylinders, LPG tanks (propane tanks), LPG bullet tanks and up to giant Horton Spheres.

What is the Difference Between an Industrial LPG Cylinder and a Domestic LPG Cylinder

There is no difference in the gas provided to industrial and domestic users. The rate of use means that more liquid LPG needs to be vaporized and that typically means a larger vessel (tank).

Residential LPG gas bottles and industrial LPG cylinders are identical with the exception of the applications.

LPG Tanks Sizes – Propane Tank Sizes – LPG Gas Tank Sizes – LPG Storage Tank Sizes

The most common LPG storage tank sizes are 45kg gas bottles, followed by 90 kg gas bottle and 210kg LPG storage tank sizes. Half tonne and one tonne LPG storage tank sizes would be common for large country properties and farms, as well as smaller commercial enterprises.

Our standard LPG tank sizes range from 0.5 tonnes all the way up to 50 tonnes and larger LPG storage tank sizes. LPG tanks come in various LPG tank sizes (propane tank sizes) for use in LPG bulk storage. LPG cylinders are used for lesser storage. A good conversion rate to remember for cylinder capacity is that 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 1.96 litres of LPG.

LPG Tank Regulations – LPG Tank Siting Location Regulations

All of our LPG tank installations comply with relevant LPG tank regulations, including LPG tank siting location regulations.

What are LPG Tanks Made Of

LPG tanks are typically made of welded steel, aluminium or composites. Steel is by far the most common material, as it is the easiest to fabricate and it is a low-cost material. Some cylinders are made of aluminium or composites to save on weight, but not larger tanks.

What Size LPG Tank Do I Need

The most common size home LPG tank is a 45kg (88 litres) tank installed in pairs. We also supply 90kg and 210kg LPG tanks if you need more gas. Even larger LPG tank sizes are available for heavy users.

Determining the LPG tank size you need is handled by the supplier, based on the gas load and the projected consumption. LPG tank sizes also affect vaporisation rates, which need to meet peak gas load.

LPG Tank Sizes – Commercial LPG Storage Vessel

The LPG tank sizes (LPG gas tank sizes) for LPG tank bulk storage vary for different application solutions. LPG tank storage vessels are sometimes called “LPG Bullet Tanks”, these LPG tanks are for commercial, industrial and agricultural applications.

LPG Storage Tanks Design Standards – LPG Tank Regulations – LPG Tank Siting Regulations

LPG tanks must also comply with LPG storage tanks design standards. LPG tank siting regulations or LPG tank regulations must also be followed when the LPG tanks are installed. These take into account propane tank safety regulations.

LPG tank disposal, if and when necessary, will be recycled.

LPG Storage Tank Price – LPG Bulk Gas Prices:

LPG storage tank price is a moot point as you do not need to buy an LPG tank because they are provided on a rental price basis. The price of buying an LPG tank outright can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars or even more for very large LPG tanks. In short, an LPG storage tank price can be very substantial.

The bulk gas prices – LPG storage tank price, for the LPG gas price, is priced per litre. Bulk gas prices (LPG price) are based on tanker deliveries straight into the LPG tank.

LPG storage tank price for rental varies by the size of the tank, the duration of the contract and various other commercial considerations.
