LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gases exist as gases at normal temperature. Under moderate pressure they turn liquid. One volume of LPG produces over 200 volumes of gas.
Importance of testing LPG leaks
A leak can become dangerous. LPG vapour is denser than air and will travel a long distance along the floors. A concentration of 2-10% LPG in the air is enough to create conditions for a flammable atmosphere. If there is ignition or open flames (even a spark will suffice) the mix can catch fire. The gas air mixture can travel back to the source and an even bigger fire can happen.
Monitoring LPG
Test point adaptors are fitted to detect the presence of leak and also act as a pressure test for the system. Test point adaptors are made of brass which is a copper-zinc based alloy and is non-corrosive. It is non-sparking. There are various components that can be used as test point adaptors. Elbows, Nipples, Gas fingers, high pressure test point nipple, tees, test point unions and ball valves with test points built in form the range of adaptors.
