Now this might come as a surprise to many in India.
Does a Gas Cylinder have an expiry date? Well yes it does and every LPG
cylinder you get delivered at your home has the expiry date printed on it. An
expired Gas Cylinder may cause accidents and are not safe for use.
There is way too much corruption in India and the
selfish corrupt politicians are not keen in implementing the LokPal bill. Most
of the important businesses are taken over by politicians or their close
relatives that includes petroleum and LPG distribution. So assuming that your
gas agency will follow all safety precaution may be a risk you might be taking.
How
to check the expiry date on an LPG Cylinder
When an LPG Gas Cylinder is delivered at your house
don’t just pay the delivery man but make sure you check the expiry date on the
cylinder if the cylinder has already expired return it back and do not take the
delivery.
The Expiry date consists of character A to D and a
two digit numeric value.
The A stands for March (1st Qtr), B for June (2nd
Qtr), C for September (3rd Qtr) and D for December (4th Qtr). The two digit
number depicts the expiry year. So for Example A-09 would mean the expiry date
is March 2009 and C-14 would mean expiry date is September 2014.
Using an expired cylinder can cause hazardous
accidents that could be fatal. More over the expired LPG cylinder are prone to
leak.
