Color Identification
Colors are intended as a secondary means to identify the contents and characteristic hazards of the piping system. Below are the color guidelines designed to meet or exceed ASME (ANSI) recommendations.
| Contents Of The Pipe | Color |
|---|---|
| Fire Quenching Fluids | White On Red |
| Toxic And Corrosive Fluids | Black On Orange |
| Flammable Fluids | Black On Yellow |
| Combustible Fluids | White On Brown |
| Potable, Cooling, Boiler Feed, And Other Water | White On Green |
| Compressed Air | White On Blue |
Size & Letter Height
The outside diameter of the pipe (including insulation) determines the length of the pipe marker color field and the letter height.
| Outside Diameter of Pipe | Length of Pipe Marker Color Field | Size of Letters |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4" to 1-1/4" | 8 inches | 1/2" |
| 1-1/2" to 2" | 8 inches | 3/4" |
| 2-1/2" to 6" | 12 inches | 1-1/4" |
| 8" to 10" | 24 inches | 2-1/2" |
| Over 10" | 32 inches | 3-1/2" |
Visibility & Location
Visibility and location of the pipe labels are very important. Make sure the pipe markers can be read from a distance.
Installation Recommendations:
- Above or below center visual line of pipe
- Frequent intervals on straight pipe runs (visible from any point along the length)
- Close to valves
- Near branches and Ts in piping
- Any change in direction of piping
- Near points before and after pipe going through walls, ceilings or floors; and at 25' to 50' intervals on long straight pipe runs
