What is Methane?

Methane is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and flammable gas.
Methane is the first member of paraffin (fat-saturated) hydrocarbons.
Methane is also a major component of natural gas.
Methane is soluble in alcohol and ether and slightly soluble in water.
Methane is transported as a gas in pressurized cylinders.
Liquid methane (the main component of natural gas LNG) is transported in cryogenic containers and trailers.

Available grades:

% 99-% 99.9-% 99.99-% 99.999

Tanks and maintenance:

Methane can be charged in any cylinder that can be used for non-liquefied gases.
This gas can also be transported in bulk through the pipeline.
Methane is transported at sea by ships with cryogenic reservoirs.

Compatible and incompatible materials:

Methane is non-corrosive and can be used in the presence of any ordinary metal.
In the presence of liquid methane, carbon steel, and most steel alloys lose their malleability.
Suitable metals for use with liquid methane are stainless steel 8-18 and austenitized alloys of nickel, chromium, copper, Monel, brass, and aluminum.

GAS

S – Satisfactory for use with the intended gas
C – Conditional. May be incompatible under some circumstances or conditions Contact your Praxair representative for additional information
U – Unsatisfactory for use with the intended gas
I – Insufficient data available to determine compatibility with the intended gas
O – All nonmetalic, even those considered compatible, may be ignitable in oxygen enriched environments or in other oxidizing gases. Successful
use depends upon oxygen purity, pressure, temperature, cleanliness and elimination of ignition mechanisms. Please contact your Praxair
