Gas Bottles Sizes, Gas Bottle Dimensions, LPG Gas Bottle Sizes & Gas Cylinder Sizes

Gas bottles sizes and gas bottle dimensions (gas bottle measurements) are important to understand for homeowners. Also referred to as LPG gas bottle sizes, various gas bottle sizes (gas cylinder sizes) in Australia have gas bottle dimensions that are referenced to fit the available installation space.

The most common LPG gas bottle sizes for home and business are the 45kg gas bottle size and 45kg gas bottle dimensions, as well as 90kg gas bottle size and the 210kg gas bottle dimensions.

LPG is the gas in bottle for all three of these large gas bottles.

For BBQ gas bottle sizes, there are also the 9kg gas bottle size, 9kg gas bottle dimensions, 4kg gas bottle size and 4kg gas bottle dimensions (smallest gas bottle). LPG is also the gas in bottle for these two small gas bottles.

Gas Bottle – Gas Cylinder – What is a Gas Bottle?

A gas bottle or gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storing and transporting liquefied gases and compressed gases at above atmospheric pressure.

Gas bottles are typically made from steel or aluminium which is drawn, pressed and/or welded into a cylindrical shape. There is a threaded opening in one end, with or without a neck, for the attachment of a gas valve to control the release of the contained gas in bottle.

The contained gases in gas bottles (gas cylinder gas) include fuel gases like LPG and CNG, industrial gases like acetylene, argon and nitrogen, various scientific gases and medical gases like oxygen and nitrous oxide.

In Australia, the most common LPG gas cylinder sizes for home and business use are 9kg, 45 kg, 90 kg, and 210 kg gas bottles sizes.

45kg Gas Bottle

45kg gas bottle size (45kg gas cylinder) is the most popular of the large gas bottles sizes in Australia, as it can be used for home LPG gas bottle exchange and automatic LPG gas tanker delivery to both home and business customers, with LPG gas in bottle..

It it is large enough to last yet still transportable to users.

Two of these large gas bottles are typically installed on a home.

A single 45kg gas bottle can be used as just a cooking gas cylinder or for hot water and heating, as well.

How Long Does a 45kg Gas Bottle Last

Here are some typical examples of how long a 45kg gas bottle lasts when starting with full gas in bottle:

• A 45kg LPG gas bottle size lasts 52 days based on 16 L/min Hot Water used for 20 minutes per day
• A 45kg gas bottle lasts 244 days based on 9 MJ Cooktop Burner used for 60 minutes per day
• A 45kg LPG gas bottle size lasts 49 days based on 15 MJ Gas Heater used for 3 hours per day
• A 45kg gas bottle lasts 44 days based on 25 MJ Gas Fireplace used for 2 hours per day

These estimates are based on running at maximum setting/rate.

The gas in bottle will last longer on lower settings.

How Many Litres of Gas in a 45kg Gas Bottle

Gas bottle volume is one of the gas bottle dimensions (gas bottle measurements).

There are 88 litres of LPG gas in bottle for a 45kg gas bottle size based on propane at 1 kg = 1.96 L.

How Many MJ in a 45kg Gas Bottle

Energy content can be considered yet another of the gas bottle dimensions (gas bottle measurements).

There are 2205 MJ (megajoules) in a 45kg gas bottle size based on propane at 1 kg = 49 MJ.

Small Gas Bottle Sizes: 9kg Gas Bottle – Smallest Gas Bottle: 4kg Gas Bottle

The 9kg gas bottle is a BBQ cooking gas cylinder and one of the small gas bottle sizes typically used for BBQ gas bottle sizes and patio heaters.

The 4kg gas bottle is the smallest gas bottle stocked by SWAP’n’GO and is very portable, making it ideal as a cooking gas cylinder for camping.

Both of these small gas bottles now come with an LCC27 valve.

How Many MJ in a 9kg Gas Bottle

There are 441 MJ in a full 9kg gas bottle size.

How Long Does a 9kg Gas Bottle Last​

9kg gas bottle will last 12 hours with a 35 MJ patio heater, based on the 9kg small gas bottle sizes.

This is assumes using the HIGH setting and the gas in bottle will last longer if turned down.

The 9kg gas bottle is most often used for a cooking gas cylinder as one of the BBQ gas bottle sizes.

♦ 9kg LPG gas bottle size will last ≈ 26 – 29 hours with 1 Burner on a Full Sized BBQ, when used as a cooking gas cylinder

♦ 9kg gas bottle will last ≈ 6 – 7 hours with 4 Burners on a Full Sized BBQ, when used as BBQ gas bottle sizes

♦ 9kg LPG gas bottle size will last ≈ 44 – 59 hours with 1 Burner on a Compact BBQ, when used as a cooking gas cylinder

♦ 9kg gas bottle will last ≈ 22 – 29 hours with 2 Burners on a Compact BBQ, when used as BBQ gas bottle sizes

♦ 9kg LPG gas bottle size will last ≈ 12 hours with 35 MJ Patio Heater

♦ 9kg gas bottle will last ≈ 36 hours with 12 MJ Table Top Heater
