LPG gas cylinder's expire date!!!

Hello All,

Have U ever heard about LPG gas cylinder's expire
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 came to know today from
the gas stockiest, because an 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 December qtr of 2006.

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

Regards,
Vidya
