Bulk LPG Gas Tank Sizes – Gas Tanks – Commercial LP Gas Tank – LPG Tank
An LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) is typically a large multi-tonne bulk gas tank. Bulk gas tanks (LPG tanks), made from welded steel, ranges in size from 0.5 tonnes up to 50 tonnes and larger.
LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) may be galvanized, and are painted in light reflective colours, like white or silver.
Our standard LPG tank sizes (gas tanks) are 45kg, 90kg, 190kg and 210kg.
An LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) is a storage vessel (gas tanks) made from welded steel and is designed for the required pressures and heat expansion of the stored hydrocarbon gases, including propane and butane.
Our larger LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) sizes (190kg and 210kg) are the gas tanks frequently seen at petrol stations for the decanting of LPG into smaller LPG tank sizes for use in BBQs and patio heaters.
For larger quantities, a bulk gas tank, bullet LPG tanks (gas tanks), and giant Horton Spheres are used.
What is the Difference Between Commercial Gas Tanks and Domestic LPG Tank
An LPG gas bottle (gas tanks) and a bulk LPG tank (LP gas tank) are reliable alternatives to natural gas for home and commercial gas use.
There is no difference in the bulk tank LPG provided to commercial gas and domestic users regarding LPG use.
The rate of use means that more tank LPG needs to be vaporized, and that typically means a larger LPG gas tank (LP gas tank).
You’ll need larger LPG tanks (gas tanks) for heavier heating usage, including home heating, hot water systems, and commercial gas applications, than you would need for outdoor cooking.
Residential LPG tank and commercial tank LPG (gas tanks) are identical except for the applications.
LPG Tanks (LP Gas Tank) – Bulk Gas Tanks
Half-tonne and one-tonne bulk gas tanks sizes would be common for large country properties, farms, and smaller commercial gas enterprises.
Our standard LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) sizes range from 0.5 tonnes up to 50 tonnes and larger bulk tank LPG sizes.
LPG tanks (gas tanks) come in various LPG tank sizes (LPG bulk storage tank sizes) for use in bulk tank LPG storage.
LPG tanks (gas tanks) are used for lesser storage.
A good conversion rate to remember for gas tanks capacity is that 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 1.96 litres of LPG.

LPG tank sizes (LPG bulk storage tank sizes) shown are indicative. Actual LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) sizes can vary. Extremely large LPG tank sizes (propane tank sizes) are also available.
LPG Tank Regulations – LP Gas Tank Siting Location Regulations
All of our LPG tank (gas tanks) installations comply with relevant LPG gas tank (gas tanks) regulations, including gas tanks siting location regulations.
What is an LPG Gas Tank (LP gas tank) Made Of?
LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) is typically made of welded steel, aluminium, or composites.
Steel is by far the most common material for gas tanks, as it is the easiest to fabricate and low-cost (see image).
Some gas tanks are made of aluminium or composites to save on weight, but not for a larger LPG tank (gas tanks).
What Size LPG Tank Do I Need?
The most common home set up is a pair of 45kg (88 Litre) LPG tanks (gas tanks).
We also supply 90kg and 210kg LPG tanks (gas tanks) for properties with high LPG usage, and even larger LPG tanks (gas tanks) are available for heavy users.
ELGAS will help you to determine which LP gas tank (LPG tank) size is appropriate for you, based on the gas load and projected consumption.
Gas tanks sizes also affect vaporisation rates, which must meet peak gas load.
Commercial LP Gas Tank Sizes
The LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) sizes for LPG tank bulk storage (gas tanks) are a cost-effective energy source that varies for different commercial gas application solutions.
LPG bulk storage tank LPG sizes are sometimes called “Bullet LPG Tanks”; these LPG tanks (gas tanks) are for commercial gas and agricultural applications.
Our LPG technicians will supply bulk LPG tanks (gas tanks) at your delivery location and load your commercial LP gas tank on-site.
LPG Gas Tank (LP gas tank) Design Standards and Siting Regulations
An LPG gas tank (LP gas tank) must comply with bulk tank LPG (gas tanks) design standards to qualify as reliable supplies for home and commercial gas use.
When the LPG tanks (gas tanks) are installed, they must also follow LP gas tank siting regulations or regulations, which take into account LP gas tank safety regulations.
Acquiring Bulk Gas Tanks for Bulk Tank LPG Supply
The price of buying bulk gas tanks outright can cost in the tens of thousands of dollars or even more for very large LPG tanks (gas tanks).
This is why most LPG gas suppliers provide the bulk gas tank and then charge an ongoing service charge fee which covers the cost of purchasing and maintaining the gas tanks to the required standards.
Once the bulk gas tank is installed, bulk tank LPG can be supplied and the commercial gas is priced per litre.
Bulk tank LPG prices are based on tanker deliveries straight into the bulk LP gas tank.
The price of renting a bulk LP gas tank varies depending on the tank’s size, the duration of the contract, and various other commercial considerations.
