Does propane gas freeze in cold temperatures?

The freezing point of propan is -44degrees. It won't freeze but the volume of the propane will shrink which creates loss of pressure, if the pressure becomes too low it won't reach your gas burner.

As a propane gas is stored inside a tank and when the temperature of the propane gas gets below -44 degrees Fahrenheit then its volume will decrease as the gas contracts and due to decrease in gas pressure the propane gas wont be able to ignite the appliance so the gas wont freeze but its volume will decrease.

Propane handles extreme cold temperatures very well and now if they drop below boiling point with hot tempatures then you have a problem.

Propane gas does not freeze, but it can turn into a liquid at very low temperatures. The propane tank can become too cold and cause the pressure to drop, which can make it difficult to get the propane to flow out of the tank. However, most propane tanks are designed to handle cold temperatures and should still function properly in cold weather.

Yes, propane gas can freeze in cold temperatures, although it has a relatively low freezing point of -188.4 degrees Celsius (-307.1 degrees Fahrenheit).

However, when propane is in its liquid form, which is how it's typically stored and transported, it has a boiling point of -42.1 degrees Celsius (-43.8 degrees Fahrenheit) at atmospheric pressure. If the temperature drops below the boiling point, the liquid propane can start to vaporize and turn into a gas. This process can cause the propane tank or cylinder to become extremely cold, which can cause frost or ice to form on the exterior of the tank.

In addition, propane gas can also freeze inside the regulator or valves of the propane system, which can cause the system to malfunction or stop working altogether. To prevent this from happening, it's important to use propane in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and to keep the system protected from extreme cold temperatures

 Propane gas doesn't freeze in cold temperatures, because it is a liquid. However, if propane gas is cold-pressed from the oil it will freeze.

Yes, technically propane can freeze. But it has a very low freezing temperature. Propane will freeze at temperatures -306.4°F (-188 °C) or colder, according to Elgas.
