Why can't a gas stove use natural gas?

Answer:

Natural gas and artificial gas are two kinds of gas with different properties, and their calorific value, flame propagation speed, gas pressure and composition are all different. Natural gas is generally dry gas, the main component of methane, basically no impurities, high calorific value, slow flame propagation speed, high delivery pressure. The artificial production of coal gas is a mixture of gases, containing water, oil and dust, ammonia naphthalene, hydrogen sulfide and other impurities, lower delivery pressure.
After the natural gas to the home, home in the original gas must go through professional transformation or completely updated to use the ignition, user must not be without ignition or self transformation, so as not to cause explosion and fire accidents, causing greater damage.
Can a, natural gas is a by-product of oil, is from the ground hit out, the main component is methane. Coal gas is a byproduct of Coking (coke, steel making), which is artificially refined. They don't burn each other.Need to remind the natural gas pressure is 2800 PA, pipeline gas pressure is 2000 PA. Pipeline gas stove can be changed into natural gas stove. This process needs to be able to change the nozzle and the fire cover of the stove. Everything else is settled by the gas company. As long as the change is not dangerous after, but if you do not change the pipeline gas stove to burn natural gas is very dangerous. When I go to work in the Nanjing gas company we have done such an experiment, gas flame can reach 2 meters high with no changes to the stove. But if the stove is changed, there is no danger. The best gas connections are also made of metal.
Speaking from the combustion characteristics, natural gas and other gas does not have interchangeability, and therefore the conversion of gas to natural gas, it must be the original stove, appliances, meters, transmission and distribution network to replace or transform. The artificial gas burner should be reformed or updated for natural gas appliance, household appliances, by replacing the nozzle into a gas stove fire cover. The household water heater by replacing the nozzle (the main fire, burning fire) burner into natural gas water heater.
