Green does not mean acetylene. From my supplier, it is orange and oxygen, nitrogen, argon are all green as are some others.
I could not find a definitive color for industrial gas chart, but did find this from Air Products
Medical cylinders will be color coded
Standard Name

Standard colors for each component
They deal with safety by the connection into the valves. There are well over a dozen CGA standards for the connection to cylinders, each for a classes of gasses. It is pretty hard to connect up the wrong bottle.
Oops. I don't know where I got that idea. Thanks for your chart.
Wow.
Good.
Green DOES NOT mean acetylene.
My bottle of acetylene is black, Oxygen is green.

I think my oxygen is red. Oh well. Thank goodness my parents sent me some place where they taught me to read. I guess it will finally come in handy with these gases.
OTOH< look at your post just before his, that reminds me about the Muppet investment in bottled gas.
Knowing I'm wrong is useful.
