"Have U ever heard about LPG gas cylinder's expiry date....!!

D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
D13 allows the cylinder to be in use until Dec 2013.
----------------------------------------

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 Qtr),
2. B for June (Second Qtr),
3. C for Sept (Third Qtr), &
4. D for December (Fourth Qtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid.

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

Its a very nice piece of information but almost couple of years old this study was conducted by the Indian Science center in Bangalore students.
for your reference it has been published in Dainik Jagran around 2 years back.
But yes people need to be aware of this piece of information.

Thanks
