Normally, the pressure inside a propane tank fluctuates slightly based on the outside temperature. For example, a standard 20-pound propane tank at 70 degrees will have 145 psi internal pressure. That same tank on a 100-degree day will have 172 psi of pressure.
What is considered low pressure propane?
Low-pressure propane burners are able to regulate gas intake to 6 ounces per square inch or so while their high-pressure counterparts are able to regulate gas from anywhere between 1 and 60 pounds per square inch. That is quite a difference in gas intake.
Is propane grill high or low pressure?
The propane barbecue can use a high-pressure propane delivery system, which requires a high-pressure regulator. This can vary from between 10 and 60 psi (the pressure measurement). Or, you can have a low-pressure delivery system (for propane barbecues up to 50,000 BTU).
