Dear All,
Have you ever heard about LPG gas cylinder's expiry 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 stockist because an accident occurred here.
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 when accepting any LPG cylinder from the vendor.
Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:
On one of the three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alphanumerically 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 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. Hence, D06 would mean Fourth Quarter (December) of 2006.
Share this message with everyone you know. Your kind cooperation will save the lives of many people and create awareness among the public.

Cylinders are periodically tested. Initially, a cylinder is tested after 10 years, and then every 5 years thereafter. Suppose a new cylinder comes to the market in April 2009 (Second Quarter), then its testing will be due by the Second Quarter of 2019, and the same will be indicated as B19. Thereafter, its testing will be due by B24, B29 respectively.
