A Very Important Information (LPG Gas)

Dear All

Have u ever heard about LPG gas cylinder's expiry date. I also didn't know. How to find LPG cylinder's expiry date

Very important information.

Most of us do not know this. I come to know today from the gas stockiest, because here one accident occurred.

Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders? Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this regard please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:

On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06.

The alphabets stand for quarters -

A for March (First Qtr),

B for June (Second Qtr),

C for Sept (Third Qtr), &

D for December (FourthQtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean Fourth Qtr (December) of 2006.

Share this message with everyone you know, UR kind cooperation will save life of many people and create awareness among the public.

Regards,

Himanshu

Cylinders are periodically tested. Initially a cylinder is tested after 10 yrs, and then after every 5 years. Suppose a new cylinder comes to market during April 09 (Second Quarter), then its testing will be due by Second Quarter of 2019 and the same will be indicated as B19. Thereafter its testing will be due by B24, B29 respectively.
