Guide to LPG Gas Cylinder Colours for Home, Business and Industry

Colour‑coding is a vital safety measure across the country. In residential settings, the red cylinder acts as a visual reminder that LPG is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Commercial establishments rely on blue cylinders that are larger and contain market‑price LPG, ensuring a constant fuel supply for busy kitchens. Healthcare facilities depend on white oxygen cylinders, which are tightly regulated to guarantee patient safety. Industrial sites use yellow cylinders for a range of pressurised gases required in manufacturing, while grey cylinders store CO₂ for fire suppression and beverage carbonation. By matching the cylinder colour to its gas type, users and emergency responders can quickly identify the contents and apply the correct handling procedures.
