Things to be checked when receiving industrial & domestic LPG cylinders

Following are the common things which needs to be checked when receiving industrial & domestic LPG cylinders

1.      Color coding of the LPG cylinder (whether it is domestic or industrial)

2.      Check whether the base/body of the cylinder is free from corrosion / damage which creates chance for leakage of LPG

3.      Check that LPG cylinders have the company seal and safety cap intact.

4.      Visually check body of the cylinder for any alterations (against the initial design of the cylinder)

5.      On any one of the cylinder vertical stays you can see the painting like B13.  Letter (A,B,C,D) stand for quarters

·        A for March (First Qtr),

·        B for June (Second Qtr),

·        C for Sept (Third Qtr),

·        D for December (Fourth Qtr).

The digits stand for the year on which next testing to be performed. The above mentioned painting  “D20” on the vertical stays communicates that the cylinder is due for Hydrostatic testing on the 4th quarter of 2020.

Check the above said points and comment me if any point got missed.
