LPG cylinder explosion.?

Question

What are the reasons for LPG cylinder explosion?

Answer 1

Reasons -

1. Leakage through hose pipe.

2. Leakage through gas tap.

3. Improper use of gas furnaces, stoves or other gas appliances.

4. Gas appliances that have been poorly or incorrectly installed.

Always store cylinders in a place where you have good ventilation. A gas explosion occurs when there is a gas leak in the presence of a spark or flame. Gases such as natural gas, methane, propane and butane are the most common types of gasses to cause explosion because they are commonly used for heating purposes. 

Answer 2

An LPG explosion is almost always caused by the accumulation of gas leak in an enclosed space combined with an ignition source, not a Propane-LPG tank explosion (gas cylinder explosion). The leak can be from the gas appliance or other source not involving the bottle.

Answer 3

^{There are several reasons for a LPG cylinder explosion. One reason is that the LPG is not going the right way and starts to overheat, leading to a fire. Another reason is that the LPG is not getting close to the correct temperature, leading to a fire. Finally, the LPG can go out and cause a fire in the manufacturing process.}
