The history of LPG cylinder

time2015/07/20

LPG cylinders have been developed 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 businesses. 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 populous and known as the “traditional” cylinder.Third generation cylinders improved upon type II, using plastic for coating the metal exterior allowing the exterior to be customised. However, these cylinders continue to have the same drawbacks as Generation I and II.Aburi Composite LPG cylindersGeneration 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.Nevertheless, there are a lot of issues associated with the steel LPG cylinders. Indeed, they are heavy to handle, corrosive, difficult to maintain with a high logistic cost, dirty and easily damaged, explosive and affect by the weather conditions. These issues can be sorted by the composite ones, which represent the new generation of cylinders. Back-to-front the first ones, the latter ones have unique qualities: they are light in weight, no corrosive, 100% environment friendly, easy to handle, translucent, no explosive, aesthetically appealing and with a low maintenance and logistical cost.There are a couple of companies which have started to work on LPG composite cylinders, including Aburi Composites, London based, and Hexagon Ragasco in Norway. Hyundai has also started in Asia and in India there are some new factories.
We got all kinds of cylinders,we got 15kg LPG cylinder,12.5kg LPG cylinder,5kgLPG cylinder and so on
