You can safely assume that a new one is not leaking. There is a date stamped on it for the first hydrostatic test. On a new cylinder, that date should be at least 5 years in the future. Once that date has passed, you'll need to have it inspected and hydrostatically tested before it can be legally filled in most jurisdictions.
Once you hook it up, brush or pour some soapy water on the connections and look for any bubbles.

just mix a bit of detergent with water in a container and spray or splash around all connections. If bubbles start happening you have a leak, if not ,you are pretty safe. Unless you want to get a licensed gas fitter in to double check.

get a soft brush and some dishwashing detergent, make some soap bubbles and bubble test all the connections. Do not use a lighter.

Pour or heavily brush some water with a little dish soap around the fittings, if you see bubbles, it's leaking...

Depending on the size, fill a garbage can with water, put it in and look for bubbles.

Take your cylinder to a place that fills them, they will check it for you.
