  "term": "Liquefied petroleum gas",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. Ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, normal butane, butylene, and isobutane produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate new natural gas plant liquids.\n\n2. LPG, which consists principally of propane and butane, is produced for use as fuel and is an intermediate material in the manufacture of petrochemicals. The important specifications for proper performance include vapor pressure and control of contaminants.\n\n3. Any liquefied hydrocarbon gas obtained as a by-product in petroleum refining of natural gas production.\n\n4. Commercial product marketed as liquefied petroleum gas or propane.\n\n5. Commercial product marketed as propane or liquefied petroleum gas.\n\n6. Liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is stored under pressure and is composed primarily of nonmethane compounds that are gases at atmospheric conditions.\n\n7. Any material that consists predominantly of any of the following hydrocarbons or mixtures of hydrocarbons: propane, propylene, normal butane, isobutylene, and butylenes. LPG is usually stored under pressure to maintain the mixture in the liquid state.\n\n8. Liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is stored under pressure and is composed primarily of species that are gases at atmospheric conditions (temperature = 25 °C and pressure = 1 atm), excluding natural gas.",
