Uses: Isobutane - C4H10 - in its pure form is used for calibration work in instruments such as temperature and pressure gauges and in the filling of thermbulbs for such instruments. It is industrially important as an intermediate in the manufacture of aviation fuel and in manufacture of many organic chemicals. |
