This is the easy way to know the expiry date of the cylinder, check yourself in minutes

News India Live, Digital Desk: Cylinder Safety: We all use gas cylinders every day in our kitchen, make delicious food and never think how safe it is. While taking delivery of the cylinder, we often only check its weight or see if there is any leakage. But, there is a very important thing that we do not see, and that is the ‘expiry date’ of the cylinder (expiry date)! Do you know that the cylinder also has an expiry date, and if it has expired, you can put a direct threat to your safety?

If a gas cylinder is fixed If it is being used even after the dead (time limit), then the risk of its bursting or gas leak increases manifold. Because after continuous gas pressure and using many years, its metal body starts to weaken, cracked can come in it and it can be dangerous. It is exactly like the expiry date of your car tires or medicines. A small lapse can become a big accident, in which both life and property can be damaged.

So now the question arises that how to find out the expiry date of the gas cylinder? This is not a very difficult task, just need to understand a small code!

Identify your cylinder ‘Secret’ expiry date (magical code)!

Whenever you take a cylinder, try it upside down, where the regulator seems to have 3-4 metal strips. One of these strips has a letter of English and two digits. This is the ‘date of expiry’ of your cylinder.

• A: This letter indicates the months of January to March.

• B: This reflects the months of April to June.

• C: This reflects the months of July to September.

• D: This reflects the months of October to December.

And write with these letters Two digits reflect the year.

For example:

• If on your cylinder C-24 It is written, so it means that your cylinder has expired in September 2024.

• If written D-25Then its term will end in December 2025.

What to do if your cylinder expires? Do not panic!

If you checked your cylinder and found that it is of expiry date, then there is absolutely no need to panic!

1. First of all, check the other cylinders present in your house.

2. Immediately inform your gas agency. It is their responsibility to give you a new and right -term cylinder.

3. No need to pay extra charge. They cannot charge any additional fee from you to change the expiry cylinder. If someone asks for money from you, complain.

4. Do not take the delivery person expired cylinders. The agency employees take him back from the correct process.
