10 kg of liquid butane equals approximately 4.61033 US Liquid Gallons.
Material Metrology & Physical Properties: Butane
Commercial liquid butane (C₄H₁₀) is a four-carbon alkane hydrocarbon stored as a compressed liquid in pressurized canisters and bulk storage bullets. Under GPA Standard 2145, commercial liquid n-butane has a reference density of 0.5730 kg/L (4.782 lbs per US gallon) at 15°C (59°F).
Because butane has an atmospheric boiling point of -0.5°C (31.1°F)—just below the freezing point of water—it generates substantially lower vapor pressure than propane. This property makes butane the preferred fuel for lightweight aerosol propellants, pocket cigarette lighters, and portable indoor tabletop catering stoves.
However, in freezing winter climates, butane canisters fail to generate sufficient vapor pressure to feed appliances, requiring seasonal blending with high-vapor-pressure propane (forming commercial LPG mixtures).
Extremely flammable liquefied gas. Vapors are heavier than air and collect in low areas and trenches. Do not expose canisters to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F).
