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 specific 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. If
more or less favorable conditions prevail at a specific site, adjustments can be made on the basis of experience.
