The ASME (ANSI) Standard A13.1-2007 is a universal approach to pipe identification. It is designed to eliminate confusion of pipe contents. Recommendations in this standard include what size marker to use, what background and font color to use on your markers, and the proper placement of the pipe markers for best visibility. But did you know that there are varieties of pipe markers available to suit your various application needs? We have detailed three styles below:
Self-Adhesive Markers – These vinyl pipe markers are so easy to install, just peel that back layer off and stick directly onto the pipe. These markers are suitable for indoor or outdoor pipes that are dry and clean.
Snap-Around Markers – These markers save you time on installation since you don’t have to clean the pipes before you “snap” them on. These pipe markers are ideal for dirty, oily, greasy and rough surfaced pipes, indoors or out.
High-Performance Markers – These markers are specially designed to withstand the harsh outdoor environments. These pipe markers resist abrasion, chemicals, high humidity and outdoor weather and are ideal for dirty, oily, greasy and rough surfaced pipes including stainless steel.
No matter what type of pipe marker best suits your needs, Seton offers all of the pipe marker styles listed above and others that easily allow you to comply with the ASME (ANSI) A13.1-2007 Standard.
