What does "vaporization" refer to in the context of LP-Gas?

Vaporization in the context of LP-Gas specifically refers to the process in which the liquid form of propane or butane transitions into a gaseous state. This process is critical for the functionality of LP-Gas systems because appliances designed to run on LP-Gas typically use the gas in its vapor form. When LP-Gas is stored under pressure, it remains in liquid form. However, when it is released and the pressure is decreased, it vaporizes and the liquid molecules turn into gas. Understanding this process is essential for safe handling and dispensing of LP-Gas, as the gas must be in vapor form to properly fuel devices and appliances. Proper awareness of vaporization also contributes to safety measures since handling LP-Gas in its liquid state poses different hazards compared to when it is vaporized.
