What is the maximum weight for a portable refillable LP-gas cylinder that requires a warning label if not filled on site?

The maximum weight for a portable refillable LP-gas cylinder that requires a warning label if not filled on-site is 100 pounds. This standard is established to ensure safety and regulatory compliance when dealing with LP-gas cylinders.

Cylinders exceeding this weight are subject to additional safety measures, such as proper labeling, which provides essential information regarding handling and transportation. This requirement helps alert users and emergency responders to the potential hazards associated with a heavier cylinder, which may contain a larger volume of LP-gas, increasing the risk in case of mishandling or leaks.

It is important to note that lighter cylinders, particularly those under 100 pounds, may not require the same level of warning or safety labeling, thus making their management somewhat less stringent. However, ensuring compliance with the regulations surrounding heavier cylinders is critical for enhancing safety in both commercial and residential propane applications.
