Unexamined LPG cylinders are tantamount to bombs

　　It is understood that the service life of the general liquefied gas cylinders is 15 years, and the steel cylinders with a capacity of 15 kg and 5 kg must undergo a mandatory "physical examination" every 4 years, and the 50 kg steel cylinders need to be tested every 3 years.

　　The current safety hazards of liquefied gas cylinders are mainly due to overdue inspections and don’t sell them to individuals after they are scrapped. Many people have misunderstandings about liquefied gas cylinders. Some citizens once stored scrapped steel cylinders at home or sold them to private individuals to allow scrapped cylinders to continue to circulate in the market, which are likely to cause safety accidents. The quality inspector said that many people think that they have run out of liquefied gas, or open the valve to release the gas, and there is no liquefied gas in it. This view is not correct. Scrapped steel cylinders are deflated by special tools in the laboratory, and there will still be residual gas.
　　The correct way to dispose of scrap steel cylinders should be: send the scrap steel cylinders to the Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute, and let the staff perform professional scrap disposal of the steel cylinders. At the same time, for the sake of safety, citizens need to check whether their own cylinders have exceeded the test period, and those who are overdue should be sent for inspection as soon as possible.

Looking at the news, the overall oil price fluctuates at a high level, with less volatility, and the industry's mentality is relatively strong, and the enthusiasm for entering the market is acceptable. From the perspective of supply and demand, the slow terminal consumption is still constrained by seasonal demand in the off-season. However, Xinhai in the region will suspend maintenance around July 15 and the maintenance period will last for nearly one month. The failure of the Luoyang installation cau...
