AIZOL TIMES –
Aizawl Sept 27: In an email sent to our editor from a reliable person, the LPG cylinder that your family is using to cook the food may not be that safe because your cylinder has an expiry date.
Most people are unaware that LPG cylinders have expiry dates and are not aware that these cylinders can explode because their physical life span is over. But how do you find these expiry dates?
On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha-numerically as A, B, C or D with a two-digit number following this e.g. D06. The letters ABCD stand for the four quarters of a year with A meaning the first quarter from January to March and B meaning the second quarter from April to June and so on. The two numbers following this is the year and in the example given, D06 means October to December 2006 meaning that the cylinder’s expiry date is December 2006.
So it would be wise if consumers are to check the expiry date because it can pose danger to life and limb if it explodes because its physical life is over. However, this story is not meant to create panic on the public and it would be wise if consumers were first to check this with the local gas agents.
