A yellow triangle with a gas cylinder outline.
Also known as: Gas cylinder warning, Pressurised gas sign, Compressed gas warning, Yellow triangle with a cylinder
The pressurised cylinder sign warns of stored energy rather than of the gas itself — a cylinder's valve sheared off makes the cylinder a projectile regardless of what is inside it. That is why the warning is separate from the flammable and toxic gas warnings.
Warns of pressurised gas cylinders in the marked area.
