The company provides insurance for cylinders

The insurance is a precaution procedure against any risk may arise later, so we use to provide insurance for a material against any risks may occur later.

The company provides insurance on the cylinders


Explanation:
Te key word is "on". The company provides the insurance on the cylinders not for them. The difference is the risk covered. To provide "insurance on" an object is to cover risks arising out of the use of the object, while to provide "insurance for" an object is to covering risks affecting the object.
