What Is a Commercial LPG Cylinder?

Businesses use LPG cylinders for profit-making purposes, such as electricity generation, transportation, poultry farming, industries, and restaurants, and these are classified as commercial LPG cylinders. State-run oil marketing companies determine the prices of these LPG cylinders.

What Are Domestic LPG Cylinders?

Domestic LPG cylinders are used for household purposes, such as cooking at home, and not for profit-making.

The basic difference between commercial and domestic cylinders is in the amount of gas used and the quantity of gas present in the cylinder. That is why industrial facilities are provided with larger LPG vessels. Moreover, many industries use multiple LPG cylinders simultaneously.
