9 kg Gas Bottle Dimensions: Complete Guide for B2B Buyers (2026)
Meta Title: 9 kg Gas Bottle Dimensions – Full Specifications, Compliance & Sourcing Guide (2026) for USA Importers
If you’re searching for 9 kg gas bottle dimensions to plan your storage, shipping, or wholesale procurement, here’s the quick answer: A typical 9 kg propane or LPG cylinder measures approximately 12 inches (305 mm) in diameter and 24–26 inches (610–660 mm) in height, with a tare weight around 10–12 kg (22–26 lbs). However, exact dimensions vary by manufacturer and gas type. This guide—written for import managers, brand owners, wholesalers, and sourcing agents—provides detailed specs, compliance notes, and factory‑proven sourcing options from Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical, a China‑based ISO‑certified producer.
Why Precise 9 kg Gas Bottle Dimensions Matter for Your Business
In B2B gas procurement, “standard” dimensions can cost you money if they don’t fit your filling equipment, palletizing system, or container loading plan. Common pain points include:
- Mismatched valve threads (CGA 510 vs. POL) causing rework delays.
- Height variations that waste container space — a 1‑inch difference can reduce a 40‑ft container load by 8–10%.
- Non‑compliance with DOT/TC/UN regulations, leading to customs holds.
Our factory solves these issues with precise 9 kg gas bottle dimensions manufactured to international standards, backed by full traceability.
Standard 9 kg Gas Bottle Dimensions (Reference Table)
All data below are typical values from Zhuzhou XingYe Chemical production lines. Actual dimensions may vary ±2 mm; please confirm with order.
| Parameter | Metric | Imperial (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water capacity | 24.5 L | 0.86 ft³ | For propane/LPG |
| Outer diameter | 305 mm | 12.0 in | Common across brands |
| Overall height (incl. valve) | 640 mm | 25.2 in | Handle adds ~40 mm |
| Empty weight (tare) | 10.8 kg | 23.8 lbs | Steel; ±0.5 kg |
| Filled weight | 19.8 kg | 43.7 lbs | 9 kg net gas + tare |
| Valve connection | CGA 510 or POL | – | Customizable |
| Pressure rating | 20.7 bar (300 psi) | – | Working; test 31 bar |
Important: These dimensions apply to standard steel cylinders for LPG, propane, or butane. For diving oxygen cylinders (9 kg equivalent), the height is typically shorter (~18–20 in) because of higher pressure. Always request a datasheet for your specific gas.
