How To Check A Gas Cylinder Expiry Date by Mcsammy4u(m): 4:34pm On Apr 06, 2016 |
Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder is an essential
component of our kitchen, and almost every
home owns it. Available easily in the market,
the LPG cylinder can be used further by
refuelling, but that is not the case always. The
LPG we use in our homes comes with an
expiry date and many are certainly unaware of
it.
Using LPG cylinder post its expiry date can
result in leakage that can also lead to an
explosion. Once the cylinder is past the expiry
date, one must stop using it. But most people
have no idea how to check the expiry of the
bottle. The steps to check the expiry are very
simple and basic.
Here is how to verify the expiry date of the
LPG cylinder-
The expiry of LPG Cylinder can be found on
one of the metal strips that connect the body
of the cylinder to top ring (handle). It is
mentioned on the inner side of the strip. The
strip has any of the alphabets from A to D
painted on it along with a number. Decoding
the expiry date is simple. The alphabet
represents the month of expiry while the
number indicates the year of expiry. A year is
divided into four quarters -
* A – January to March
* B – April to June
* C – July to September
* D – October to December
For example, this cylinder has ‘B 13′ painted
on the metal strip. The alphabet B represents
month June , and 13 indicates the year 2013.
So a cylinder having B 13 mentioned on it
means it will or already expire on June 2013.
However, there is a limited grace period of
three to four months after the expiry as the
cylinder cannot be pulled out immediately out
of the circulation. There have been reports
that distributors tamper with the expiry date
as it is written with paint. So next time you
receive a cylinder do check the expiry date and
stay safe. 4 Likes 1 Share

Very informative. Nice one @OP. But you don't have to write all that sermon only to pass a message of expiry date. |
