    I full transporters and small liquid nitrogen tanks and we currently use the green diamond placard on or tanks. My question is I see numerous nitrogen transporters with an orange 1977 label instead of the green placard and was wondering what the difference is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Id have to get the bible out to be positive BUT the orange rectangle is perfectly legal for bulk liquids under 10 psi ( might be 12 ) the green diamond is compressed gas in bottles or tube trailer.

    I know you CANT haul cylinders and tube trailers ( not supposed to ) on the orange although I've seen it on C02 tube trailers. I've also seen bulk tank wagons with the diamond so......

    Ask the ERG to be sure.....

    It has everything to do with the quantity of product.

    The orange panel is usually displayed on other tankers with a generic hazard class placard nearby. A lot of international shipments use the orange panel this way. Either is accepted in place of the other though compressed gases may have additional regulations, been away from them a long time...
