There can be many reasons for cylinder blasts, but do you know that ABCD and some numbers written on your cylinder can protect you from this dance of fire and death? Let us tell you what is the ABCD of cylinder blast.

The cylinder kept in your house is no less than a bomb.
When you write 'cylinder' on Google, the first word that comes with it is 'blast'. The question that people search the most is 'why does a gas cylinder blast?' This concern is also justified because even though gas pipelines have come in big cities, even today cylinders are used for cooking in homes. In such a situation, due to a bad connection, gas leak, or due to excessive heat, the cylinder kept in the house can explode like a bomb.

Some English alphabets and numbers are written on the handle of the cylinder.

Why are numbers written on the cylinder?

Orthopedic surgeon and sports doctor Manav Vora explains in one of his videos, that whenever you take a gas cylinder, you must have noticed that some English alphabets and numbers are written on the handle of the cylinder. These numbers are not related to the number of the cylinder, but they are directly connected to your safety. Let's understand this.

On the top of the cylinder, you will see some numbers written, such as - D26 or B24. Whenever you take delivery of the cylinder, do look at these numbers. The English letter in this number shows the 3 months of the year. While the number tells the number of the year. For example, A means January to March, B means April to June, C means July to September and D means October to December.

A = Jan–Mar
B = Apr–Jun
C = Jul–Sep
D = Oct–Dec

That is, if your cylinder has D26 written on it, it means that this cylinder needs to be re-checked before December 26. If your cylinder goes beyond this date, then understand that the food in your house is being cooked on a cylinder that is no less than a bomb.
