Every shape is cylindrical. The reason is because cylindrical or round shapes are employed whenever pressure storage is involved in order to evenly disperse the pressure and because a cylindrically formed body is simple to handle.
The weight of the cylinder is typically 15.3 kg when empty and 29.5 kg when filled with gas. Meaning that the total weight of the gas charged is 14.2 kg. This cylinder's weight is intended to be manageable by an average guy on his own.
It is liquefied petroleum gas, as is widely known (LPG). However, there is a subset of LPG that consists mostly of propane or butane. A cylinder makes liquid-like sounds when you move it.

Date of expiry encoded is shown by the numbers and letters on the cylinder.
