About Hangar Consumables Shelf-Life Board

Every disciplined shop converges on the same artifact for this job: a dated, statused board. Hangar consumables carry expiry and cure dates: sealants and adhesives, elastomers (cure-date based), chemicals, safety equipment contents — installing expired stock creates records defects on otherwise sound work — and the failure mode that motivates the discipline: sealants, adhesives and o-ring stock age out silently — the cure-date board converts a quarterly shelf purge from archaeology to a ten-minute walk.

Frequently asked questions

How are elastomer (o-ring, hose) shelf lives counted?+

From the CURE date, not purchase or installation: the package's cure code (commonly quarter/year, like 2Q25) starts a shelf-life clock that runs whether the part sits in your drawer or the supplier's — common limits run 5-15 years by compound family, per the relevant standards and manufacturer data. Buying o-rings in bulk for a decade is therefore false economy past the compound's window. The board's lot field exists for the cure code; logged once at receiving, every later 'is this still good?' becomes a lookup.

Is this level of discipline worth it for a small hangar?+

The discipline scales down better than the alternative: one out-of-cal torque value, one lost tool's grounding search, or one insurance claim against an unitemised inventory each cost more than years of thirty-second entries. Small operations skip the systems because nobody requires them — then meet the requirement retroactively, at incident prices. The board is the cheap version of that lesson.

Is this tool private — who can see my entries?+

Only you. Entries live in your browser's local storage and never leave your device, so there is no account, no cloud sync and no one else with access. Because the data is device-local, export a CSV backup before clearing browser data or switching computers.

How do I back up or print these records?+

Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full shop record as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
