MIL-STD-101B, MILITARY STANDARD: COLOR CODE FOR PIPELINES AND FOR COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS (03 DEC 1970)., The object of this standard is to establish a common color code for visual warnings to accompany the written identification of materials covered in piping systems and contained in compressed gas cylinders, and to facilitate the segregation of these cylinders at depots. The use of this standard will promote greater safety and will lessen the chances of error, confusion, or inaction in times of emergency by providing a uniform color code to quickly warn personnel of outstanding hazards inherent in the materials involved. However, this standard does not define the manner or conditions under which these materials may be used safely.
