Any one of the three metameric hydrocarbons, C5H12, of the methane or paraffin series. They are colorless, volatile liquids, two of which occur in petroleum. So called because of the five carbon atoms in the molecule.
The hydrocarbon blowing agent in EPS that renders it expandable.
A low-boiling hydrocarbon of the alkane series (C5H12). There are five pentane isomers.
An alkane having the formula C5H12, flash point of -40°F, and explosive limits of 1.4% to 8%. Pentane is frequently used to extract flammable or combustible liquid residues from debris samples.
A hydrocarbon gas that is an ingredient of natural gas. Pentane molecules each contain five carbon atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms.
One of lighter hydrocarbons, such as propane and butane, and mixtures of these gases are liquefied and employed as fuels.
A hydrocarbon compound consisting of five carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms
a hydrocarbon gas with the formula C5H12 that is sometimes used as a bottled fuel gas. Calibration of Gaz de France explosimeters are claimed to be to pentane gas. Actually, GdF units include a 100% safety factor based on the pentane LEL cur.
Pentane, also known as amyl hydride or skellysolve A is an alkane hydrocarbon. It is a liquid commodity chemical compound, mainly used as fuel and as a solvent.
