LPG is the generic name for commercial propane and commercial butane which are products produced by the oil and gas industries. When compressed moderately at normal temperature it becomes a liquid. When gas is withdrawn from a cylinder the pressure drops and the liquid reverts to gas. The expansion ratio of gas from liquid is 270 : 1 which means that you will get 270 litres of gas for every litre of liquid LPG. Therefore it is a significant advantage to transport it in liquid form. LPG is heavier than air and when released with little velocity it drops to the ground. Because LPG has no natural odour, a distinctive odorant is added so that it will be noticeable should a leak occur.
