Gas cylinders are used in almost every household in India, especially in cities and villages. Although, now gas pipeline facility is available in many metros, but in most places LPG cylinders are still used. Have you ever wondered why the shape of a gas cylinder is round? Also, why holes are made at its bottom? Come, let us tell you the special reason for this.

Earlier it was the era of wooden stoves, now it is the era of gas cylinders: Earlier food was cooked in homes on wooden stoves. Even today wooden stoves are used in many rural areas, but due to government schemes, gas cylinders have reached most of the homes. Due to this, people now prefer cooking on gas. But have you noticed why the shape of every gas cylinder is round?

Round shape of gas cylinder: Scientific reason behind it: There is an important scientific reason behind making gas cylinders in round shape. Whether the cylinder is small or big, its shape is kept round. This is done so that the cylinder can withstand more pressure. When gas or liquid is filled in the cylinder, a pressure is exerted on it, which is easy to handle in a round shaped cylinder. The round shape helps in distributing the pressure evenly, keeping the cylinder safe and strong.

Other benefits of round shape: Round shaped cylinders are easy to lift and store. Apart from this, its transportation also becomes easy. Due to the round shape, the cylinder can be easily carried from one place to another and it is also durable. Due to the round shape of the cylinder, it easily withstands shocks, which reduces the chances of it breaking or getting damaged.

Why are there holes at the bottom of the cylinder?: Now comes the matter of holes made at the bottom of the cylinder. You must have noticed that there are holes at the bottom of the gas cylinder. The main reason for these holes is the proper circulation of air. Air keeps passing through these holes below the cylinder, due to which the cylinder remains dry and moisture does not accumulate in it. If there is no air circulation below the cylinder, then water or moisture can accumulate there, which increases the chances of rust in the cylinder. Rust can weaken the cylinder and also reduce its life. Therefore, holes are made at the bottom of the cylinder so that air can easily flow in and out and the cylinder remains safe for a long time.
