Question

In cooking gas we open cannot burst cylinder but in case any gas leakage it burst why

Answer 1

Answer: Usually inside the cylinder, the gas stays at a pressure of about 5–7kg per square cm (almost 1/3rd of the maximum pressure). But occasionally, people indulge in unsafe practices of heating the cylinder or throwing the cylinder which damage the welding and/or body of the cylinder.

This damage can lead to leakage of gas which can catch fire and this cylinder then starts getting heated up in the fire caused. The fire raises the temperature and leads to massive increase of pressure inside. Once it goes beyond the maximum limit, the metal of the cylinder fractures and explodes.
