9kg Gas Bottle Exchange vs 8.5 kg Gas Bottle and 4kg Gas Bottle vs 3.7kg Small Gas Bottle
The supply of nominal 9kg gas bottle exchange with an 8.5 kg gas bottle with gas was a bottled BBQ gas safety initiative of the Australian LPG bottled BBQ gas industry.
The same is true of the small gas bottle, the 4kg gas bottle being a 3.7kg gas bottle with gas. But why?
Unfortunately, there are many small gas bottles for barbecues that are labelled as a 9kg gas bottle or 4kg gas bottle that are actually manufactured undersize, with less than the labelled bottled BBQ gas capacity.
This is a result of the manufacturing and design variances amongst the many manufacturers of a BBQ gas bottle that are imported, into Australia, from many countries around the world.
Surprisingly, Australia has no mandatory standard sizing for a BBQ gas bottle, so they are all approved for sale.
Filling an undersized BBQ gas bottle with a BBQ gas refill to a full 9kg gas bottle or 4kg gas bottle fill, thus leaving less than 20% room for expansion (see image) and would create an overfill, which would be a major BBQ gas bottle safety issue.
Cold burns, fires and even possible explosion could result.
The solution was to take into account the BBQ gas bottle size variations and standardise the bottled BBQ gas refill amount on a 8.5 kg gas bottle with gas and 3.7kg small gas bottle with gas for BBQ gas bottle swap.
This allows for the small gas bottle variances between the BBQ gas bottles and prevents any unsafe bottled BBQ gas overfilling.
To make sure that consumers are fully informed, the small gas bottles for barbecues are labelled accordingly.
