What is LPG?
Liquefied petroleum gas covers propane (C3), butane (C4) and their mixtures, stored as liquids under moderate pressure or refrigeration. It fuels household and commercial cooking and heating, autogas fleets, petrochemical feedstock, and industrial burners. Import mix ratios vary by market and season — colder markets favour higher propane content for vapour pressure — so the grade and ratio are agreed contract by contract.
Typical specification
| Parameter | Typical value (commercial grades) |
|---|---|
| Governing specifications | ISO 9162 / GPA 2140 type |
| Propane content (commercial propane) | min 95 % vol C3 |
| Butane content (commercial butane) | min 95 % vol C4 |
| Total sulphur | ≤ 50 ppm |
| Copper corrosion (1 h at 37.8 °C) | Class 1 |
| Free water | None |
The governing specification and mix ratio for each cargo are stated in the SCO/FCO and certified by SGS or CIQ at loading.
