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 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 -
1. A for March (First Quarter Jan to Mar),
2. B for June (Second Quarter Apr to Jun),
3. C for Sept (Third Quarter Jul to Sept),
4. D for December (Fourth Quarter Oct to Dec).


The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean December Quarter of 2006.

D -> December quarter means Oct to Dec
06 -> Year 2006



Please Return Back the Cylinder that you get with a Expiry Date, they are prone to Leak and other Hazardous accidents.


The second example with D13 allows the cylinder to be in use until Dec 2013 .


Please communicate this information to your family and friends.


Kindly pass this to every one, and create awareness among the public

Sorry I sent same message again accidentally by the mercy of Browser.. :)
nice information. Iam hearing it first time. But the cylinders wont wear any ate now a days. They are all worn out and no paint is seen or no date is mentioned.
Thanks a lot.

Yes sometimes we can't see properly.

In this case, you can ask the concerned person about the expiry details. Once you ask all these details, next time they will bring the cylinder in good condition. Just try it.

You can also talk to company's consumer care department regarding this.
Come on Kumaresh bring some such startling facts I waiting to hear from you.
