The heavy and rusty iron version of the cooking gas cylinder is about to change completely. The country’s major oil marketing companies, BPCL and HPCL, have completely transformed the gas cylinder technology. Recently, these companies introduced Bharatgas Lite Zip and HP Navya along with Swiggy Instamart. These are new-age composite cylinders, designed with modern technology and improved features. The specialty of these composite cylinders is that they are not only more feature-rich than conventional cylinders but also safer.
Composite cylinders based on new technology are up to 50% lighter than iron cylinders. This makes them easy to carry even for women and the elderly.
While the typical iron cylinder weighs 14.2 kg, the new composite cylinders come in lightweight and convenient variants such as 10 kg and 5 kg.
Their lightweight design and improved grip make them easy to carry up stairs or move around the house.
While standard cylinders are made of heavy iron, composite cylinders are made from three layers of fiberglass and advanced polymers.
Their unique feature is that the body never rusts, preventing stains on the user’s floor.
Composite cylinders are not only modern in terms of material but also in their appearance. You can use them without hiding them in your modular kitchen.
The most significant feature of this new technology-based gas cylinder is that you can clearly see the amount of gas in the cylinder. In fact, its body is translucent in the middle, making the gas level visible.
Until now, the only way to determine the gas level in an iron cylinder was by weighing it, but with these advanced cylinders, anyone can clearly see the amount of gas and when it will run out.
This cylinder eliminates the fear of consumers running out of gas. Clearly visible gas levels allow anyone to book a refill on time.
Composite cylinders are also safer than iron cylinders. Even in a fire, these cylinders don’t explode like a bomb.
The fiberglass structure used is so strong that it can easily withstand falls or shock.
The valve and sealing mechanism of this cylinder are designed to advanced safety standards, making the possibility of gas leakage negligible.
