Question: Why shouldn’t liquefied gas containers be operated at full capacity? Answer: Since liquefied gas is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons such as C3 and C4, these compounds have low boiling points and high saturated vapor pressures; they expand significantly when heated. If the container is filled to capacity, the resulting expansion pressure upon heating can cause the container to explode. Therefore, liquefied gas containers should not be filled to full capacity.

Since liquefied gas is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons such as C3 and C4, which have low boiling points and high saturated vapor pressures, and exhibit significant expansion when heated, filling a container to capacity means that excessive expansion pressure will be generated upon heating, leading to container explosion. Therefore, liquefied gas containers should not be filled to capacity.

There is a fear that explosions may occur after vaporization, as liquefied gas vaporizes easily

It has a low boiling point; when heated, it generates pressure that can cause the container to explode

LPG is in gaseous form when in use, so space must be left for it to vaporize

Since liquefied gas is primarily composed of C3, C4, and other compounds, it has a low boiling point and a high saturated vapor pressure. It expands significantly when heated; when the tank is filled to capacity, any heating will generate extremely high expansion pressures that can cause the container to explode.
