11kg Gas Bottle Dimensions: Complete B2B Buyer’s Guide for 2026
Updated: April 2026 | Author: James Turner – Senior Supply Chain & Gas Equipment Specialist
If you are sourcing 11kg gas bottle dimensions for your next wholesale or OEM order, here is the core fact: A standard 11kg propane/LPG cylinder measures approximately 310 mm (12.2 in) in diameter and 680 mm (26.8 in) in height (valve included). Tare weight ranges from 14 kg to 16 kg. At Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical, we manufacture and supply 11kg cylinders that comply with DOT 4BW and ISO 4706 standards, specifically designed for N₂O, CO₂, propane, and other industrial gases. This guide gives you every technical parameter you need to source confidently in 2026.

Why Accurate Dimensions Matter for B2B Buyers
Inconsistent 11kg gas bottle dimensions across suppliers can cause costly problems: storage rack mismatches, transport inefficiency, and failed compliance checks. Import managers and sourcing agents often struggle with:
- Vague or outdated specification sheets
- Cylinders that don’t fit standard filling equipment
- Missing pressure ratings and thread sizes
- Unclear DOT/ISO certifications for the US market
That’s why we publish verified 11kg gas bottle dimensions with full traceability, so you can compare, confirm, and order with zero guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions (B2B)
Q: What is the exact height of an 11kg gas bottle with a protective cap?
Standard cap adds ~40 mm, bringing total height to approximately 720 mm. If you need a low‑profile cap for tight storage, we offer a flat‑top option (adds only 15 mm).
Q: Can you supply 11kg bottles pre‑filled with N₂O or CO₂?
Yes. We offer both empty cylinders and filled options (N₂O, CO₂, propane, ethylene). Filled bottles comply with T‑code shipping regulations. For filled orders, MOQ is 200 units.
Q: What is your payment method for international buyers?
We accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against BL copy) and L/C at sight for established clients. For first‑time orders, a small sample quantity via PayPal or Western Union is possible.
Q: How do you ensure dimensional consistency across production lots?
Every cylinder is gauged at three stages: after pressing, after welding, and before valve assembly. We maintain a tolerance of ± 2 mm on diameter and ± 5 mm on height. Incoming raw steel coils from Baosteel are 100% tested.
