LPG gas
Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is a widely used fuel gas.
Liquid petroleum gas is a flammable hydrocarbon gas stored under pressure as a liquid and vapourised for use, making it highly efficient and portable. In Australia and New Zealand, LPG gas is primarily made up of propane, with smaller amounts of butane, isobutane and ethane.
As a trusted LPG gas supplier, Coregas delivers high-quality LPG gas that can be used in a wide variety of commercial and domestic applications. As a cleaner-burning and more economical fuel than petrol, liquid petroleum gas is a popular choice for powering forklift trucks across Australia and New Zealand, and as a BBQ gas in homes nationwide. It is also commonly used in shrink wrapping, soldering, flame-cutting and (both industrial and domestic) heating applications.
Coregas supports manufacturing, logistics, food processing and transport industries with reliable delivery and high-purity fuel.
Our LPG gas in four different cylinder sizes – 9 KG, 15 KG, 18 KG and 45 KG – so we have options to suit everything from occasional home use to high-volume commercial operations.
To get an idea of the size you may need:
- 9 KG: Great for BBQs and outdoor heating
- 15–18 KG: Suited to medium-duty commercial use
- 45 KG: Ideal for high-usage commercial and industrial sites
If you’re unsure which size is right for you, our team can help you decide. You may also contact us to explore available size options.

-
How long does a cylinder tank of LPG last?

-
What is LPG gas?
LPG gas in Australia and New Zealand is primarily propane, but may also contain a mixture of butane, isobutane and ethane.
-
Can LPG be used for gas cutting?
In common with acetylene, LPG can be used for gas cutting but it’s important to note that with liquified petroleum gas, it is the outer cone of the flame that is the hottest. This is in contrast to an acetylene flame, in which the majority of the heat is located in the inner cone. With this in mind, you should hold an LPG flame further away from the metal surface.
-
How to check LPG gas bottle level?
You can either weigh your bottle (and subtract the dry weight) or pour water down the outside and feel where it gets cold after a few seconds. This will indicate the current gas level.
