LPG cylinder - expire date

Have u ever heard about LPG cylinder's expire date. I also didn't know.

How to find LPG cylinder's expiry date?

Very important information. 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 (Fourth Qtr)

The digits stand for the year till it is valid.
Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.

Please do not accept the cylinder if the date has already expired.

"A" stands for the first quarter ie January to March and
"07" stands for the year 2007.
A-07 indicates the expiry life of cylinder and not the GAS filled in it.
This cylinder should not be used and returned to the gas dealer.

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. It's Urgent information to share with our friends & relatives.
