The formula to calculate the weight of propane in pounds from its volume in gallons is:
\[ W = G \times 4.23 \]
Where:
Propane Gallons to Pounds is a conversion factor used to determine the weight of propane in pounds when its volume is known in gallons. This is important in various applications such as cooking, heating, and fueling vehicles where propane is used. The conversion factor is based on the fact that one gallon of propane weighs approximately 4.23 pounds at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, to convert gallons of propane to pounds, you simply multiply the number of gallons by 4.23.
Let's assume the following value:
Step 1: Calculate the Weight of Propane (W):
\[ W = 10 \times 4.23 = 42.3 \text{ lbs} \]
The weight of propane is 42.3 lbs.
