Executive Summary

Background:
In 2004, the first US DOT exemptions were issued to bring composite cylinders to the
US marketplace. The cylinders have been used successfully in Europe for many years
in many applications. However, a working group of the National Propane Gas
Association (NPGA) identified many differences between typical US and European
applications and sought additional information on vaporization rates to insure the
viability of composite cylinders for use in the United States. The intention of the project
was to obtain a baseline comparison of vaporization rates at fixed conditions for
composite, steel, and aluminum nominal 20-lb cylinders currently available on the US
market.
With the assistance of the principal investigator (Petersen Engineering), the task force
developed a method of test in accordance with ANSI style and format to measure the
ability of a container to conduct heat from the ambient to the liquid portion of LP-Gas to
prolong the availability of LP-Gas vapor at a pressure that is suitable for the application.
The NPGA working group then set out to establish the specific conditions that would
yield the pertinent information for the test cylinders. These conditions include ambient
temperature, relative humidity, cylinder fill level, and BTU draw rate. The specific
conditions were selected to provide data at real-life conditions for a typical US
application, outdoor cooking on a large barbecue grill in a moderate to cold climate.
Testing:
Tests were conducted on four cylinders, of varying construction, to determine their
relative ability to supply LP-Gas at a constant flow rate. Tests were conducted at
prescribed ambient temperatures, initial charge, and flow rates. Data were recorded at
regular intervals; cylinder pressure, LP-gas temperature as well as pressures and
temperatures associated with the flow through fixed orifices. Cylinder pressure and
temperature were charted.
Conclusions based on testing:
The purpose of the test was to measure the ability of a container to conduct heat from
the ambient to the liquid LP-gas by correlating it with the interval of time at a constant
withdrawal rate to reach a vapor pressure level (15 psig) identified as being unable to
support most US applications at constant ambient conditions. In all tests, the aluminum
cylinder (propane charge 9.5 lbs) maintained a higher vapor pressure level for the
longest period of time. The linerless composite cylinder (propane charge 9.1 lbs) had
the shortest interval to the 15 psig termination point, partially due to the lower initial
charge.
In the 60 F tests, the lined composite cylinder (propane charge 10.6 lbs) mimicked the
steel cylinder (propane charge 9.5 lbs) performance almost exactly, with averaging less
than 1% difference in performance. The differences between the lined composite and
steel cylinders were more pronounced in the 30 F tests, with approximately 15%

Executive Summary
difference in the total time to reach the 15 psig threshold, with the lined composite
cylinder providing more prolonged availability of LP-gas vapor.
Additional comments from Petersen Engineering:
In interpreting the results, consideration needs to be given to the slightly different initial
charges; based on 20% of the water capacity. The greater initial mass of LP-Gas in the
larger cylinders will naturally prolong their ability to deliver vapor.
After an initial review, the task force requested a statement of performance based on a
normalized charge; relating the results as if the cylinders had the same mass charge
rather than a charge based on 20% of water capacity. Appendix I was amended to
include a calculation; adjusting the minutes of withdrawal, assuming a 10 pound charge.
The average minutes to vaporize LP-Gas at 80,000 BTU/HR for a 10 pound charge are;
Temperature 60F 30F
Steel 57
29
Aluminum 64
32
Lined Composite 52
31
Linerless Composite 47
27
Others should be able to repeat the results if they utilize the same equipment and test
protocol including the test environment within another closely controlled outer
environment. This two shell environment simplified the temperature control at the test
cylinders.
Instrumentation and data recording methods can be varied without sacrificing the end
results; however, data interpretation is easier if the data are collected automatically.
A variation of the test protocol would be a relative comparison of a Subject cylinder to a
Reference cylinder; varying materials of construction, container size or charge. This
would require the Subject and Reference cylinders to be tested at the same time and
in the same environment. The environment would not have to be controlled, (although it
should be recorded). This approach would be practical if particular appliances were a
part of the test.

The Comparative Vaporization Rates of Composite, Steel, and


Aluminum Grill Cylinders
Introduction
Tests were conducted on four cylinders, of varying construction, to
determine their relative ability to supply LP-gas at a constant flow rate.
Tests were conducted at prescribed ambient temperatures, initial charge
and flow rates. Data were recorded at regular intervals; cylinder pressure,
LP-gas temperature as well as pressures and temperatures associated
with the flow through fixed orifices. Cylinder pressure and temperature
data were charted.
Description of the tests.
The test parameters were described in a letter from the NPGA, dated
December 11, 2004; copy attached as Appendix A. Basic requirements
were described in the Test Method for Determining the Vaporization
Capacity of an LP-Gas Container standard.
In brief, the tests were conducted at 60F and 30F. The cylinders were
charged, by weight, to 20% of their water capacity slightly less than half
of their maximum allowable charge of 42%. LP-gas was withdrawn at a
flow rate equal to 80,000 BTU/Hr. The tests were stopped when the
individual cylinder vapor pressures dropped to 15 PSIG. After completing
the withdrawal, the cylinders were allowed to recover to an ambient
condition. Weight, pressure and temperature were recorded at the
stabilized (final) condition. The data were reviewed to verify compliance
with the test requirements. Each test was conducted twice to verify
repeatability (4 tests total).
Data were recorded every 30 seconds, using a data acquisition system; 9
channels for temperature and 12 channels for pressure. Type K
thermocouples were used to record temperature. Pressure transducers
were used to record pressure. Analog pressure gauges were used for
setup and to monitor the test. A more extensive equipment description is
included in this report, below.
The test procedure is described in Appendix B. This procedure reflects the
particular method and equipment used.
Fixed orifices were used as flow control elements. Each orifice was
calibrated using a positive displacement meter; with a regulated inlet
pressure flowing through the orifice, into the meter and out to the
atmosphere. Orifice calibration test results are attached as Appendix C.
Each fixed orifice had a flow rate corresponding to inlet pressure,
temperature and pressure drop. Actual regulator and orifice differential
Page 1 of 4

The Comparative Vaporization Rates of Composite, Steel, and


Aluminum Grill Cylinders
pressures as well as orifice inlet temperature were used to calculate the
deviation from target flow rates. Corrections were based on ideal gas
laws and defined on the first page of Appendix C (bottom). The correction
limits, per the test protocol, was 0.95-1.05 (1.00 infers no correction). Test
data were reviewed with the calculations performed for each set of data
(2/Min.).
Pertinent data for the containers
Containers were obtained from four manufacturers. The two metal
containers were 47.6 pound water capacity (21.6 L); or nominal 20 pound
LPG cylinders. The lined composite cylinder was slightly smaller, 45.5
pound water capacity (20.7 L). The linerless composite cylinder was
larger; 52.9 pound water capacity (marked 24 L). A more extensive
description is attached on Appendix D. Dimensional data for the metal
cylinders were taken from the manufacturers web sites. Some
dimensional data for the composite cylinders was obtained from the
manufacturers or their web site. Other dimensional data was taken directly
from exemplar composite cylinders (e.g. wall thickness).
Target pre-determined flow rate and ambient temperature
The target flow rate was 80,000 BTU/Hr. Assuming 2,516 BTU/FT, this
equates to 37.8 FT/HR at standard temperature (60F) and pressure
(atmospheric). Tests were conducted with a 60F and 30F ambient
temperature. Each test was conducted twice to insure repeatability.
Piping schematic
A piping schematic is shown on Appendix E. This schematic does not
describe instrumentation connections or the environment for the test (see
below).
Equipment description (other than piping)
The outer environment for the cylinders consisted of a room,
approximately 12 by 24. The room was well insulated and sealed except
for two access doors. The temperature for this room was controlled via
conventional HVAC controls (only AC was used) with 60F as the control
temperature for all tests. The inner environment consisted of a walk-in
freezer; nominally 6 by 6, interior dimensions 5 2 by 52 with a 5 11
ceiling. Use of the freezer for the 60F tests (door open & freezer not
operating) dampened temperature swings associated with normal
temperature control cycling.

Page 2 of 4

The Comparative Vaporization Rates of Composite, Steel, and


Aluminum Grill Cylinders
The 30F tests were conducted with the freezer temperature set at 30F
(and the outer environment still at 60F). The freezer was subdivided (top &
bottom), separating the cylinders from the recirculating fan; again to
dampen temperature swings due to temperature control cycling. A heater,
in the form of four 100 watt light bulbs, was used as a heater; cycled to
offset the localized cooling/refrigeration due to vapor withdrawal from the
cylinders.
The LPG vapor and instrumentation lines exited the freezer via a small
conduit to the outer environment. Thermocouple lines went directly to the
data acquisition unit. Vapor pressure lines went to pressure transducers
which, in turn sent voltage signals to the data acquisition unit.
The data acquisition/switch unit was an Agilent Technologies 34970A.
Thermocouple leads and pressure transducer voltages were gathered into
two HP34901A twenty channel MUX with T/C compensation. The 34970A
would record data every 30 seconds; switching across the channels with
~12 milliseconds between channels. Actual time stamps for each
individual recording are included in the raw data.
As indicated above, thermocouple leads went directly to the MUX/switch
unit since it has an internal reference and algorithm for temperature. The
pressure transducers output was a voltage signal; nominally 0.5-5.5 volts
DC for a zero to full scale pressure input. Each transducer was
calibrated against a master gauge, and re-zeroed before each test. A
more complete description of the channel assignment and pressure
transducers is included in Appendix F. Transducer gain and offset values
for each test is included in the appendix.
Four sets of analog pressure gauges were used for monitoring the tests.
These gauges were not used for data acquisition. Each set of gauges
consisted of;
WIKA Type 111.25, 4 gauge, 0-160 PSIG (for cylinder pressure)
Magnehelic 0-15 WC gauge (for regulator pressure)
Magnehelic 0-2 WC gauge (for back pressure after the orifice)
Master gauges used for calibrating the pressure transducers;
Heise 901A, 400 PSIG x 0.1, S/N S9-20659 (for cylinder pressure
transducers)
Dwyer 475-1 Digital Manometer, 20" WC x 0.01, S/N N21G51 (for
regulator & orifice dP pressure transducers)
Electronic scale used to determine pre/post gross cylinder weight and tare
weight; Mettler Toledo, Model 8213, S/N 2872919-2XW, 100 LB x 0.02.

Test Method for Determining the Vaporization Capacity of an LPGas Container


ASTM D XXXX-YY
1. Scope
1.1 As LP-gas is utilized from a container, the remaining liquid cools due
to vaporization. This test method is a measure of the ability of a container to
conduct heat from the ambient to the liquid portion of LP-gas to prolong the
availability of LP-gas vapor at a pressure that is suitable for the application.
1.2 This standard is limited to natural convection heating from the ambient
and the conduction of that heat to the LP-gas liquid. It does not address forced
air convection or radiation heating.
1.3 This method may be used to compare containers of different materials
as well as geometries; size and shape.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Reference Documents
2.1 ASTM Standards:
D 1835 Standard Specification for Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases
D 2598 Standard Practice for Calculation of Certain Physical Properties of
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases from Compositional Analysis
[add reference standards for temperature and humidity measurement]
2.2 Other Documents:
US DOT regulations; 49 CFR 178, Specifications for Packagings
ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
3. Terminology
3.1 Vaporization When used in this standard, vaporization means the
transition from liquid to vapor at saturated conditions.
3.2 Vaporization capacity When used in this standard, vaporization
capacity means the ability to vaporize liquid at a pressure usable for a particular
application.
3.3 LP-gas liquefied petroleum gas. Commercial propane or butane
consisting mostly propane or butane as well as minor amounts of other LP-gases
(See ASTM D 1835 and Section 7).
3.4 Container When used in this standard, container means a pressure
vessel suitable for commercial propane. Typically, these containers are
designed and manufactured to the requirements of 49 CFR 178 or the ASME
Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code.
Appendix A

Page 3 of 8

4. Summary of Test Method


4.1 LP-gas is withdrawn from a charged container, in a constant
temperature environment, at a pre-determined flow rate. The LP-gas vapor
pressure is recorded at regular intervals until it drops to a predetermined value.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 LP-gas containers are manufactured utilizing a variety of materials
and geometries. This method will provide a basis for modeling (predicting) the
capability of a particular container design to vaporize sufficient vapor for a
particular application.
5.2 Vaporization tends to reduce the temperature and vapor pressure of
the remaining LP-gas. When the temperature of the remaining liquid is less than
the environment, heat is conducted through the container walls and into the
liquid.
5.3 This heat transfer from the ambient will somewhat counter the heat
loss due to vaporization. The heat transfer from the ambient is limited by the
temperature differential, wetted area of the container and the ability of the
container shell to conduct heat.
5.4 When a container with insufficient vaporization capability is used, the
available vapor pressure drops quickly and limits the time for a particular
application; heating, cooking etc.
6. Apparatus
6.1 General Since the test involves the withdrawal and measurement of
LP-gas, the apparatus shall be suitable for LP-gas at the pressures involved.
6.2 Test Room A room or chamber capable of maintaining a constant
temperature, 2 C (3.6 F), throughout the duration of the test. The test room
shall be of sufficient size to allow at least .15 m (6.0 in.) from the outside of the
test container(s) to any exterior wall and .3 m (12 in.) between containers. The
surface in contact with the base of the test container shall be non-conducting
(e.g. wood). Normal lighting, that does not radiate significant heat to the
container, may be used for illumination. HVAC ducting shall not direct forced air
onto the test container.
6.3 Thermometer Any thermometer, thermocouple or other means
capable of measuring temperature from -40 to 40 C 1 C (-40 to 104 F 1.8
F) throughout the duration of the test.
6.4 Pressure Gauge Any pressure sensing device capable of measuring
pressure from 0 to 1724 kPa gauge, 14 kPa (0 to 250 psig 2 psi) throughout
the duration of the test.
6.5 Flow Meter Any means of determining a flow rate at 5% of the
predetermined flow. The apparatus may be; fixed orifice, variable area
flowmeters, mass flowmeters, positive displacement meters, scales or other
means giving appropriate results.
6.6 Hygrometer Any means of measuring the relative humidity of the
ambient at the test temperature.

Appendix A

Page 4 of 8

6.7 Piping The piping shall be sized to prevent undue restriction at the
vaporization flow.
6.8 Test container The subject container for the test.
7. Materials
7.1 Commercial LP-gas, with a minimum propane content of 95%, shall be
used for the test.
7.2 If the makeup (fractional composition of LP-gases) is not determined,
the pressure/temperature shall be recorded before and after the test (See
Calibration and Procedure below).
7.3 The pressure/temperature relationship of the LP-gas shall reflect a
mixture with a pressure not more than an equivalent 95% propane 5% ethane
mixture nor less than a 95% 2.5% butane mixture.
8. Hazards
8.1 Refillable LP-gas containers are typically prohibited from indoor
utilization1. LP-gas containers utilize pressure relief devices that will vent
flammable gas in the event of an overpressure situation such as from a fire.
This vented gas can contribute significant fuel to a preexisting fire.
8.2 It is assumed the procedure will include the burning of LP-gas outside
of the test room. Since the procedure withdraws flammable gas from the
container and through measurement apparatus, appropriate means shall be in
place to prevent the unexpected ignition of fugitive gas.
9. Preparation of Apparatus
9.1 Test Room the temperature of the test room shall be set and allowed
to stabilize for 6 hours before the test.. A schematic of the test room shall be
included in the Report. A typical schematic is shown in Appendix B.
9.2 Piping schematic a piping schematic shall be prepared to describe
the arrangement of devices and fittings. This schematic shall be included in the
Report. A typical schematic is shown on Appendix A.
9.3 Thermometer LP-Gas temperature measurement shall be in the
liquid, in a thermo well (in the liquid) or insulated and outside the base of metal
containers. Alternately, LP-Gas temperature may be inferred from a
pressure/temperature relationship, as described in 10.1 below.
9.4 Pressure gauge Vapor pressure will be measured at the container
service valve outlet, before any pressure regulation or significant restrictions. The
pressure tap shall be designed such that flow will not bias the pressure
measurement.
9.5 Flow meter In-line flow measurement devices may be placed
anywhere in the piping; assuming there are no branches in the piping. If a fixed
orifice is used, it shall be pre-qualified at the starting test conditions using LPGas vapor.
9.6 Test Container

Service valve manufacturer, model and manufacture date3
9.6.2 Charge the container with LP-gas, noting the final gross weight. In
no event shall a container be charged with more than 42% of its water capacity,
by weight.
10. Calibration
10.1 LP-gas pressure/temperature relationship. If the construction or
material of the test container make direct temperature measurement impractical,
a pressure/temperature relationship may be utilized; based on the fractional
composition of the LP-gases or the stabilized pressure/temperature relationship
before and after the test (average). If used, calculations of the
pressure/temperature relationship shall be part of the Report4.
10.2 Flow meter. If direct reading flowmeters are not utilized, flow
measurement may be based on some combination of fixed restrictions, pressure,
mass or volume over time. The combination must be adequately described in the
Report so that it can be recreated. Calibration tests must be included in the
Report.
11. Conditioning
11.1 Before the test, allow the temperature of the charged container to
stabilize at the specified test room control ambient temperature. Record the
pressure at the stabilized temperature. Container(s) shall not be placed closer
than 0.15 m (6.0 in.) from any exterior wall and not closer than .3 m (12 in.) from
each other.
12. Procedure
12.1 Before commencing the test, initial conditions to be recorded include;
LP-gas vapor pressure
Ambient temperature

15. Precision and Bias [under revision]


15.1 Precision The following criteria should be used for judging the
acceptability of results (95% confidence):
15.1.1 Repeatability the difference between two test results obtained by
the same operator with the same apparatus under constant operating
conditions on identical test cylinders would in the normal and correct
operation of the test method, exceed the following value only in one case
in twenty: Time; 5% norm
15.1.2 Reproducibility the difference between two single and
independent results obtained by different operators working in different
locations on identical test cylinders and using identical LP-gas would in
the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method,
exceed the following value only in one case in twenty: Time; 10% norm
15.2 Bias The test for vaporization capacity is useful as a basis for
predicting how a container will perform in conditions that would seldom be
the same as the test conditions. There is no acceptance criteria for
vaporization capacity, hence bias is not a consideration.
