Check your LPG cylinder for expiry date


Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders?

How to find LPG cylinder's expiry date?

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents.
Please do not accept expired LPG cylinders.
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 fourth quarter of 2006 i.e., which ends by December 2006. Share this message with everyone you know, Your kind cooperation will save life of many people and create awareness among the public.

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 present year 2007.
We all were still confused with the terms used above.
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.

Every citizen has to be sensitized about this.

A-07 indicates the expiry life of cylinder and not the GAS filled in it.

and how to find the expiry date of the GAS filled in it?
 
Is there an expiry date for LPG? It is just petroleum gas filled in a liquid state. If needed we can check the weight.

After checking the date, surely we have to check the seal first and then for any leak in the washer used in the cylinder, by requesting the

supplier to fix the new cylinder brought, with our regulator and check whether we smell gas or hear a hissing sound! If so, washer has to be

changed by him. Sometimes the spindle gets stuck due to dust and a drop of coconut oil is used to make it move smoothly!

Is it not amazing to note that while buying a refill LPG, we use all our five senses to check?

Our mey, vAy, kaN, mookku and sevi are used! :cool:

Weight - mey

Request for any help - vAy

Date - kaN

Leak - mookku & sevi
 
The easiest way is to check the weight..It should weight about 30 kg...

How?

Empty cylinder weights 15-16 kg

Gas weighs 14.2 kg

If needle is above 30 kg, then it is PASS
 
I won't keep the LPG cylinder on my weighing machine! :nono:

Can try to keep it on a maNai palagai placed on the machine.

I am not asking you to put the cylinder on body weighing scale used in clinics

But you can use a spring balance that can be used for weighing up to 100 KG.It will cost under Rs 400

Use a spring balance... Great! But I can neither do it nor trouble Ram.

Can give tips to the gas-man (!!!) and request him! :)
 
Rajiji,

The moment I saw the Spring balance, i could visualize you swinging the balance in one hand and the gas cylinder in the other
