Spanish term or phrase: supergas
Uruguay: This appears in a heading in a list from a DGI document about new parameters for electronic invoicing. There are no other mentions of "supergas" anywhere else in the document or indications of what it means. The fact that it appears alongside these related terms suggests that it may be a type of fuel, perhaps what we call simply "super" in Spain?

supergás


Explanation:
Máximo poder calorífico
El Supergas posee el más alto poder calorífico de los energéticos comerciales (11.800 Kcal/kg).

Máxima temperatura de llama
Con Supergas se logran temperaturas del orden de 1900ºC (con aire) y de 2800ºC (con oxígeno).

Facilidad de uso y manejo
Al almacenarse como líquido para conducirse y quemarse como vapor, no requiere grandes instalaciones de almacenamiento, o equipos de bombeo o transporte. Por otra parte, su llama es fácilmente regulable a la presión necesaria de cada proceso...
http://www.riogas.com.uy/supergas

El supergás es un subproducto del petróleo y corresponde a la mezcla de dos gases: gas Butano y gas Propano. La composición volumétrica aproximada es de 50% a 80% Butano y 20% a 50% Propano.
Propiedades

Es más pesado que el aire: en estado gaseoso pero casi el doble que el aire. En caso de una pérdida accidental, no se elevará; se desplazará a nivel del terreno y tenderá a acumularse en los puntos bajos.
Olor característico: originalmente el supergás no tiene olor, pero en la refinería de La Teja se le agregan compuestos denominados Mercaptanes, que le dan ese olor que permite detectar posibles escapes o fugas.
Es inflamable: Para que se inflame es necesario que exista una mezcla determinada de supergás y aire en presencia de una chispa, llama o fuente de calor. Para esto es necesario además que la mezcla se encuentre en una determinada proporción. A esta proporción se le denomina límite de inflamabilidad. La mezcla debe estar en una proporción mínima de 1,8% y una proporción máxima de 9,5% de supergás en el aire para que se inflame.
El supergás NO es tóxico (recomendamos ver consejos de seguridad).
