Frequently Asked
Questions.
What are ANSI/ASME A13.1 pipe color coding standards?
ANSI/ASME A13.1 specifies color coding for pipe contents: Yellow for flammables/oxidizers, Orange for toxic/corrosive materials, Blue for protective materials (compressed air, nitrogen), Green for potable/cooling water, Red for fire protection, Gray for waste/exhaust, and Purple for reclaimed water. Additional legend identifies specific contents. While ANSI is voluntary guideline, many jurisdictions, insurance companies, and corporate safety programs mandate compliance. We implement current ANSI standards ensuring regulatory and industry best-practice compliance.
Do you provide custom pipe labeling beyond color coding?
Yes, comprehensive pipe marking includes color coding per ANSI standards, text labels identifying specific contents (steam, nitrogen, HCl, etc.), pressure and temperature ratings, flow direction arrows, system identification for complex facilities, and hazard warnings (high temperature, corrosive, flammable, etc.). Custom labels address facility-specific requirements. We use vinyl labels, stenciling, or direct painting depending on durability needs and facility preferences. Complete identification supports both safety and operational efficiency.
How do you mark pipes in hard-to-reach areas?
Overhead pipes and difficult-access areas require specialized techniques. We use boom lifts and scissor lifts accessing elevated pipes, scaffolding for extensive elevated pipe runs, and extension spray equipment for ultra-high areas. All work complies with fall protection requirements. For pipes in occupied mechanical spaces, we coordinate brief access windows. Our experience with complex industrial facilities enables systematic marking even in challenging installations. Complete facility marking requires persistence working through difficult areas.
How often should pipe identification be refreshed?
Pipe marking should be refreshed when labels become faded, illegible, or damaged compromising clear identification. In clean indoor environments, markings often last 10-15 years. Outdoor pipes, chemical exposure areas, or high-traffic locations may require attention every 5-7 years. Major facility renovations or process changes necessitate complete identification review and updating. Regular facility inspections should include pipe marking assessment ensuring continued clear identification supporting ongoing safety.
Do you coordinate pipe identification with facility P&IDs or documentation?
Yes, when facility P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams) or documentation exists, we coordinate identification ensuring field marking matches engineering drawings. For facilities without documentation, we can create as-built pipe identification records documenting actual system configuration. This documentation supports future maintenance, emergency response planning, and facility management. Many facilities lack current documentation—our systematic identification process creates valuable facility records supporting operations.
