Pipe marking is a method of identifying and marking the surface of the pipeline to indicate the size information, purpose, medium, flow direction and other information of the pipeline. Common types of pipeline markings include:
Text mark: Text mark is spraying text information on the surface of the pipeline, including pipeline name, medium, flow direction, pressure, etc. Commonly used marking colors are black or white to ensure clear visibility.
Ribbon marking: Ribbon marking uses strips of paint of different colors to mark the surface of the pipe. Each color represents a specific meaning, such as red indicating fire source or high temperature medium, yellow indicating corrosive medium, green indicating non-corrosive medium, etc. Ribbon markings can quickly identify the nature and risks of a pipeline.
Graphic Marking: Graphic marking is the spraying of graphic symbols or logos on the surface of the pipeline to represent specific information. Common graphic marks include arrows indicating flow direction, prohibition symbols indicating prohibited operations or dangerous areas, etc.
Hanging tag: The hanging tag is a plate or brand-shaped object fixed on the edge of the pipeline, with pipeline information and warnings printed on it. Hanging tags are usually used to provide more detailed pipeline identification, such as pipe specifications, materials, pressures, etc.
Stamping: Stamping steel pipes refers to the process of using stamps to put marks or words on the surface of steel pipes. Stencils are usually made of a hard material, such as steel or carbide, and feature raised letters, numbers or symbols. Steel pipes are often stamped for identification, tracking or decorative purposes.
When selecting the type of pipeline marking, consider the durability, visibility, and compliance with appropriate standards and specifications. Pipeline marking should be designed and implemented in accordance with relevant industry standards and safety regulations to ensure the safe operation and operation of the pipeline system.
