⛽ HPC Research 18.2 L Composite LPG Cylinder

The HPC Research cylinder is intended for storing and transporting liquefied petroleum gas, including:

• propane;

• butane;

• compatible LPG mixtures.

Nominal gas capacity:

• Propane: approximately 7.5 kg

• Butane: approximately 9 kg

The 18.2 L cylinder provides a practical fuel reserve for outdoor cooking.

Compared with the HPC Research 12.7 L model, the 18.2 L version offers greater gas storage capacity and can provide longer operating time under similar consumption conditions.

Compared with the 24.4 L and 26.2 L models, it is smaller and lighter, making it a balanced choice for users who want both portability and sufficient fuel capacity.

🧱 Composite Construction – Lightweight and Corrosion-Resistant

The HPC Research cylinder features a composite construction designed for LPG storage and transportation.

It incorporates an internal liner and a load-bearing composite structure protected by an impact-resistant plastic casing containing an antistatic additive.

Its main advantages include:

• reduced cylinder weight;

• corrosion resistance;

• easier handling;

• protection provided by the outer casing;

• visual gas level monitoring;

• repeated use through authorized refilling.

The nominal empty cylinder weight is approximately 4.2 kg.

Unlike conventional steel cylinders, the composite body does not rust and does not require maintenance associated with corroded metal surfaces.

🔍 Visual Gas Level Monitoring

One of the main benefits of the HPC Research cylinder is the ability to visually check the approximate remaining LPG level.

Its translucent body allows users to estimate the remaining gas supply without weighing the cylinder before every use.

This feature is especially useful when planning outdoor meals, as it helps assess the fuel reserve before lighting the burner.

During camping and outdoor trips, visual monitoring can also help users plan their next cylinder refill.

Visual monitoring provides an approximate indication and does not replace accurate gas quantity measurements when necessary.

⚖️ Lightweight – Approximately 4.2 kg

According to the HPC Research COMPANION G2 documentation, the nominal empty cylinder weight is approximately 4.2 kg.

The reduced weight makes the following activities easier:

• loading into vehicles;

• cylinder replacement;

• camping use;

• transportation during outdoor trips;

• handling in gardens and backyards;

• organizing a portable cooking station;

• connection to compatible LPG equipment.

The lightweight construction is particularly practical for users who regularly transport their outdoor cooking equipment.

🍳 Portable Camping Gas Burner

The portable burner included in the set provides heat for preparing food outdoors.

Known specifications:

• Weight: 3.8 kg

• Dimensions: 421 × 284 × 177 mm

• Fuel: LPG, with compatible pressure regulation and connections

The burner can be used to heat and cook food in cookware suitable for its design.

It allows users to organize an outdoor cooking station in a garden, backyard or camping area without requiring a permanent gas supply installation.

It is practical for meals prepared in appropriate pots and pans.

Use with cauldrons, large cooking pots or other heavy cookware is permitted only when the manufacturer confirms sufficient stability and load capacity.

🎛️ Cavagna Group Regulator – 25–90 mbar

The set includes a Cavagna Group Kombi gas pressure regulator, product code 6912900026.

Specified parameters:

• Adjustable outlet pressure: 25–90 mbar

• Gas flow rate: 1–1.5 kg/h

The regulator reduces and controls the gas pressure supplied from the cylinder to the level required by the connected appliance.

Adjustability allows it to be used with equipment that supports the regulator's pressure and flow specifications.

Important: set the regulator only to the operating pressure specified by the burner manufacturer. Never use excessive pressure to artificially increase burner output.

🔗 Cavagna Group Gas Hose – 1 m

The set includes a Cavagna Group HP HOSE, product code 2210210114.

Specifications:

• Length: 1 m

• Dimensions: d/10–d/17

• Specified marking: ISO 3821-2 M

The hose is intended to connect the regulator to the burner using appropriate fittings.

Its 1-meter length allows a compact setup, provided the safe distance between the cylinder and heat source is maintained.

Protect the hose from hot surfaces, sharp edges, excessive tension and bending.

🔧 Galvanized Hose Clamps

The set includes two galvanized hose clamps, measuring 13–19 × 9 mm.

They are designed to secure a compatible gas hose to suitable hose-tail fittings.

Proper fastening helps maintain stable connections but does not replace a leak test.

After assembly, all connections must be tested using an approved method suitable for LPG installations.
