Expiry date of gas cylinders.......

This information is
useful....... Have U ever
heard about LPG
cylinder's expiry
date....!! 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 - 1. A
for March (First Qtr), 2.
B for June (Second Qtr),
3. C for Sept (Third Qtr),
4. D for December
(Fourth Qtr). The digits
stand for the year till it
is valid. Hence D06
would mean December
qtr of 2006. Please
Return Back the
Cylinder that you get
with a Expiry Date, they
are prone to Leak and
other Hazardous
accidents... The second
example with D13 allows
the cylinder to be in use
Up to Dec 2013.
