Texas propane tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes for any number of uses. Residential, agricultural, industrial and commercial applications are just a few of the many that use propane.

Texas Propane Tank Sizing

Residential Propane Tank Sizing

Residential propane use consists mostly of home and water heating, as well as clothes drying and cooking.

Home heating is the number one use of propane consumption. Therefore, the propane tank size will depend primarily on the domestic heating load requirements and climate conditions for the region.

Commercial/Industrial Propane Tank Sizes

A multitude of industries encompass commercial propane use. In addition, commercial propane has a variety of uses from heating to fleet fueling.

Tank size varies and is solely dependent on application and usage requirements. Therefore, the size and number of propane tanks installed for commercial and industrial applications will depend primarily on the volume usage.

Propane Tank Dimensions

During the planning stages of installation, tank dimensions and size details are increasingly important. Also, dimensions can vary depending on the location of the propane tank.

Above ground tank dimensions will depend the varying propane tank sizes and capacities.  Conversely, with underground propane tank installation, the tank dimensions will determine the measurements of the hole for excavation.

Propane Tank Size and Vaporization

Vaporization is the conversion of liquid propane to propane vapor, or propane gas.

LP Gas tank size directly effects the ability to vaporize at a rate that will satisfy the downstream appliances demands.
