Propane Gas Supply Sizing

The vaporization of propane is affected by several
factors: the surface area of the container, the liquid
level of propane, temperature surrounding the
container, and the relative humidity. All of these
factors are specifi c to a site. Therefore, a degree of
experience and judgement is required to select the
proper propane supply.
Although experience is the best guide, the following
recommendations can be used as a starting point.
The table is based on experience in northern
climates where cold weather and high humidity are
prevalent in the winter.
