A heavy gaseous hydrocarbon found in crude oil and natural gas; used as fuel and in the making of petrochemicals
a hydrocarbon fuel gas with the formula C3H8 that is used primarily as a bottled gas for heating and cooking Being heavier than air, if propane is in a buried pipeline, it will require a separate pump to bring a sample into a gas detector's sensor chamber
Propane is a gas that is used for cooking and heating. a propane gas cylinder. a colourless gas used for cooking and heating (propionic naming a type of fatty acid (19-21 centuries), from pion ). Colourless, easily liquefied hydrocarbon gas (C3H8 or, more fully, CH3CH2CH3). Separated in large quantities from natural gas, light crude oil, and oil-refinery gases, it is available as liquefied propane or as a major constituent of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It is an important raw material for the manufacture of ethylene and for the petrochemical industry. It is also used as a refrigerant, extractant, solvent, aerosol propellant, and fuel for portable cooking appliances, torches, and lighters
Gaseous member of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons (C3H8) that when liquified under pressure, is one of the components of liquified petroleum (LP) gas
A gaseous hydrocarbon with the characteristics of the predominant molecule CH3CH2CH3
A natural hydrocarbon occurring in a gaseous state under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, however, propane is usually liquefied through pressurization for transportation and storage Propane is primarily used for rural heating and cooking and as a fuel gas in areas not serviced by natural gas mains and as a petrochemical feed stock
- A very hot burning common artificial gas used in the neon industry when natural gas is not available
hydrocarbon (C3H8 or C3), small quantities of which are found in natural gas, consisting of three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms; a gas under normal conditions Used as automotive fuel and for cooking and heating purposes At atmospheric pressure, propane liquefies at -42°C
An alternative fuel; a liquid petroleum gas (LPG) which is stored under moderate pressure and with vapor heavier than air; produced as a by-product of natural gas and oil production
A colorless hydrocarbon fuel that occurs in both gaseous and liquid form and that is produced from natural gas or crude oil
A heavy gaseous hydrocarbon, C3H8, of the paraffin series, occurring naturally dissolved in crude petroleum, and also made artificially; called also propyl hydride
Gaseous hydrocarbon, carried in hot air balloons under pressure as a liquid; preferred fuel for balloons
A normally gaseous hydrocarbon It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 143 67 degrees Fahrenheit It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams and used for home heating and cooking
(C3H8) contains at least 95 mass percent propane and propene, with the propane content dominating The rest can consist of ethane, butane and butene (see also liquefied petroleum gas)
