What is the specific gravity range of LP gas?

The specific gravity range of LP gas, or liquefied petroleum gas, is typically around 1.5 to 2.0. Specific gravity is a measure of the density of a substance compared to the density of water. For LP gas, which includes propane and butane, this range indicates that it is heavier than air but lighter than water. Understanding this range is important in safety and handling procedures, as it affects the behavior of the gas during leaks and its accumulation in enclosed spaces, helping in the assessment of risk and proper ventilation requirements. Recognizing that LP gas is heavier than air can also guide emergency response actions in case of a gas leak. Other choices fall outside the actual specific gravity range for LP gases.
