Check the Expiry Date on your Cooking Gas Cylinder
How to determine whether the cooking gas cylinder is safe to use?
Domestic accidents involving cooking gas can be very fatal. Accidents are avoidable if we take extra precaution by determining the safety of the gas regulator, gas hoses and gas cylinder. Make sure that the gas regulator is properly installed. There are regulators (made in Italy, if I was not mistaken) which can detect any leakage in the cylinder head or the hoses. It stops the cooking gas from passing through a special valve built in the regulator. Prevention of gas leakage from tubes by using good and extreme heat resistant tubes. Avoid keeping inflammable near the cylinder. Always turn off the regulator knob after finish cooking.
Do you know that L.P.G. cylinders have expiry date? As well as food and medicine, gas cylinders have an expiry date too. Here’s a way to determine the expire date of the cylinders
The expiry date is stated in one of the three stems. It consists of an alphanumerical code. For example A, B, C or D and immediately two digits will be there like D - 06 (or A 11).
Each letter on the cylinder indicates quarters of a year.
1. A (means first quarter) January up to March
2. B (second quarter), April to June
3. C (third quarter), July to September
4. D (fourth quarter) October to December
Any numbers after the alphabet indicates the year. For example D - 06 means Fourth quarter, year 2006.
Please check these on your cylinders now or upon delivery of the new cylinders. Do not hesitate to ask for replacement from the seller.
