Whenever we buy any item, we definitely check its expiry date, but do you check its expiry date (Gas Cylinder Expiry Date) while buying a cylinder. It is very important to check this otherwise a small mistake can endanger life.
Be sure to check these things while buying a cylinder

Check the expiry date of the cylinder like this
When you buy an LPG cylinder, its expiry date is written on it. The expiry date is written with English letters and numbers. You will see a number written with A, B, C or D on every cylinder. Like A-25, B-23 etc. You will see such a code with a combination of letters and numbers on every gas cylinder. Let us tell you that this code tells the expiry date of the cylinder.

At the same time, the numbers written with these letters represent the year. For example, B-23 means that the cylinder can be used from April to June 2023. Similarly, if D-25 is seen on a cylinder, it means that it can be used from October to December 2025. Since the year 2023 has passed, it is obvious that the cylinder has also expired. So return such cylinder immediately and also inform the agency.
How to know if the cylinder is leaking?
When the delivery man comes to your house with the cylinder, pull the seal on the cylinder in front of him at that very moment. If the seal is broken or damaged, it will come out even with a slight pull. Do not take a cylinder with a weak seal or no seal, otherwise even a slight gas leakage can cause a major accident in the house.
How to check the weight of the cylinder
The gas agency gives a device to measure the weight of the cylinder to all its delivery men. Therefore, whenever you buy a new cylinder, get it weighed in front of you using that device. If the delivery man refuses to do so, then immediately inform the customer care of the agency and return the cylinder and apply for a new cylinder. This work may seem troublesome to you, but it is very important for the safety of your family and you.
