LPG @ different temperatures occupy different volumes - Cannabis Concentrates - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

If I have LPG at different temperatures let's say -20 F and 32 F and I fill them in a let's say 10'x10'x10'. do they still fill the same volume or can you fit more in the same space with the LPG at -20 F?

LPG expands and contracts with temperature, as do all liquids and gases.

I guess what I'm trying to understand is does LPG's density increase as it is compressed at colder temps?

As long as the volume is fixed the density will increase with the condensing of the LPG.

Think of water vapor condensing into water, (don't think of water condensing into ice). The density of the H2O is increasing as the water vapor condenses into liquid.
