The first and greatest feature of LPG is the explosiveness of LPG. Generally, there will be an explosion when there is a safety accident of liquefied petroleum gas, and it will explode before it burns. The main reason is because the calorific value of liquefied petroleum gas is relatively high. The calorific value of liquefied petroleum gas alone is several times higher than that of ordinary coal gas. Therefore, when a safety accident occurs in liquefied petroleum gas, it will appear. Explosion situation. After the explosion, combustion will occur. The combustion of liquefied petroleum gas is similar to the explosion in power and is highly destructive.
(2) Flammable characteristics of liquefied petroleum gas
Liquefied petroleum gas has the main components of petroleum. These components include propane, butane, propylene, butene, etc. The components are all typical hydrocarbon compounds, and the biggest feature of hydrocarbon compounds is flammability. Moreover, the flash point and self-ignition point of these hydrocarbon compounds contained in the liquefied petroleum gas composition are very low, and it is easy to cause combustion.
(3) Toxicity of liquefied petroleum gas
Liquefied petroleum gas is a toxic gas, but the volatilization of this toxicity is subject to certain conditions. only when the concentration of liquefied petroleum gas in the air exceeds 10%, will it volatilize the toxicity that causes the human body to react. When the human body is exposed to such toxicity, it will cause vomiting, nausea and even coma, which can cause great harm to the human body.
(4) Liquidity of liquefied petroleum gas
Liquefied petroleum gas is very easy to flow, and once there is a leakage, the liquefied petroleum gas will flow out of the storage. Moreover, under normal circumstances, 1 liter of liquefied petroleum gas will volatilize into about 350 liters of gas after flowing out. These gases will burn when they encounter electricity, causing serious fires.
