LITERATURE REVIEW 

Journal 3

Today, i will share some information about LPG gas in journal 3, which is what is LPG gas and history of cylinders. 

What is LPG gas?

Liquified petroleum gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG or LPG Gas), also referred to as simply propane or butane, are flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases used as fuel in heating appliances, cooking equipment and vehicles. 

History of cylinders

LPG cylinders have been develop over time and their heritage can be seen in the various generations.

The first generation of cylinders were introduced between 1870-1880, to store liquid carbon dioxide for industrial gas business. They were long steel tubes without handles and very hard to handle. Later on, the second generation was introduced to bridge some gaps in the first one. They were also made from steel, but with a handle, shorter but wider and the shape has been refined. This generation of cylinder is the most popular and is known as the "traditional" cylinder. 

The third generation cylinders improved upon type II, using plastic for coating the metal exterior allowing the exterior to be customized. However, these cylinders continues to have the same drawbacks as Generation I and II. Generation IV cylinders are the latest on the market. They were developed with aerospace technology and represent a real advance in technology, that otherwise has effectively remained unchanged over 75 years.
