So many pipes, so many pipe markings needed. Where in the world do you begin?!

Well, here's a good place to start: Graphic Products is offering a free guide to help you get started understanding the ASME A13.1-2007 Standard for the Identification of Pipes.

ASME 13.1-2007 informs you of proper color codes for pipe material properties when marking pipes, including what letter colors be used on specific pipe label colors. For example, let's say you have a need to create pipe markers for pipes that contain fluids classified as "Toxic & Corrosive." The free pipe marking guide from Graphic Products conveniently shows you that labels for pipes containing this material must be orange with black letter colors. Do your pipes contain flammable material? You'll find the answer in this guide, too.

What about pipe label placement? How should you position pipe markers on the pipes themselves, and how many do you need for different piping systems? The Pipe Marking Guide gives tips on what is required for placing pipe markers, too. For example, the guide instructs you to place pipe markers on both sides of a ceiling, wall or floor penetrations so that they are visible from points of normal approach.

Request your free Pipe Marking Guide to the ASME 13.1-2007 Standard for the Identification of Pipes today.
