Important : LPG Cylinders Expiry Date

Hello All,

Something Informative and Very Useful...

Have you ever heard about LPG cylinder's expiry date ?

Do you know 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 LPG Cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry date of the LPG Cylinders:

On one of the three side stems of the LPG Cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as A or B or C or D followed by some two digit number e.g D06

The Alphabets stand for Quarters:

A for March ( First Quarter )
B for June ( Second Quarter )
C for September ( Third Quarter )
D for December ( Fourth Quarter )

The digits stand for the year till it is valid. So D06 means December quarter of 2006.

Please return back the cylinder that you get with the expiry date as they are prone to leak and other hazardous accidents.

This cylinder is acceptable as it expires in December quarter of 2013.


Kindly pass this on for creating awareness...
