The LPG domestic cylinder that comes to your home right now is made of iron and heavy. The 14-kilogram cylinder is red in color. This cylinder has been found in people's homes for decades. But now there are reports that these gas cylinders will soon be discontinued, as oil companies are preparing to launch 10-kilogram composite cylinders in their place.
What is the oil companies' new plan
? Oil companies are coming up with a new plan to sell 10-kg cylinders instead of traditional 14-kg cylinders. This will be a better option for the public. This composite cylinder will not be a replacement for traditional cylinders, but will be available as an option. No official decision has been made to discontinue traditional gas cylinders.
The new gas cylinder will be made of this material, not iron.
According to media reports, companies are currently discussing this. The composite gas cylinder will weigh 10 kg and will not be made of iron, but will be made using fiberglass. This gas cylinder will be lighter in weight and will be completely different from traditional gas cylinders. It will be made from a combination of plastic and fiberglass.
