What is an LPG flex pipe?
LPG flex pipes are used to transfer the liquid phase of gas between the tank and the receiver, such as a dispenser or evaporator. Available in sizes DN20 and DN25, our LPG-FLEX pipes are designed for underground installation in a single, continuous section. Their flexibility enables quick and simple installation on site. Compared to their steel counterparts, flexible gas pipes eliminate the need for more precise and costly welding and offer smaller pressure loss and exceptional longevity.
Is LPG the same as propane? What is LPG used for?
Propane is a type of LPG, but not all LPG is propane – LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas and is a component of natural gas, which consists primarily of propane, butane, or a mixture of both. LPG is used across all industries as an energy source – from crop drying and industrial processing to commercial kitchens, heating, and vehicle fuel. CGH South Africa’s LPG bulk storage tanks provide exceptional flexibility, allowing you to choose the solution that best fits your unique needs. We specialise in pressurised vessels that need to withstand the test of time in the most demanding conditions, such as petrol stations, refuelling points or LPG modules, depots and customs warehouses.
Can LPG exposure affect my health or the environment?
You may be exposed to it when using LPG-powered appliances, such as ovens, grills, heaters, boilers or aerosols, but safe exposure levels are regulated by law and are well below those that cause harm. However, LPG can become threatening when mismanaged – health effects depend on the dose, duration, and form of exposure. While skin contact with escaping liquefied gas can cause frostbite, inhalation of high concentrations can cause nausea, breathing or heart problems and even death. Moreover, LPG is highly-flammable and rapidly broken down in the environment once released to air. That’s why CGH puts special emphasis on safety regulations, e.g., compliance with directive 2014/68/EU based on EN 13445 or AD2000 for pressure devices.
