Cylinder shoulder - European standard colour coding The colour applied to the shoulder, or curved part at the top of the cylinder , signifies the European standard colour coding. BOC permanent gas cylinders are all fitted with cylinder valves in which the spindles have collars to prevent them being completely unscrewed.
